Fort Myers - Saltwater Fishing Report

There are still a lot of tarpon in southwest Florida. We are fishing for them along the beaches and in the passes. Sight fishing with live crabs and threadfin herring has produced the best results. Charlotte Harbor and Pine Island Sound has had there moments when the tarpon have pushed in to feed but for the most part the fish are on the outside.

I haven't done any flats fishing since April but i hear that the snook fishing is pretty good also. Live shiners have been the key to catching good numbers.

Fort Myers Fishing Forecast:

Tarpon fishing should continue to be good for those who say on the fish as they migrate and finish their spawning. There is plenty of bait in the area and that should hold the larger tarpon for quite a while this season.

Target Species:

Tarpon, Snook

More Fishing Reports:

I specialize in light tackle saltwater, and fly fishing from the backcountry of the 10,000 Islands to flats of Pine Island Sound and the bay system of Charlotte Harbor. I have pick-up locations out of Ft Myers, Marco Island, Pine Island, Punta Gorda and Boca Grande. I like to target big fish. During warm months, tarpon, sharks, snook, redfish, cobia, king mackerel and big jacks are the main species sought after. Most of the winter months are devoted to redfish, trout, snook and grouper.
