Fort Myers - Saltwater Fishing Report

This has been an action packed month of fishing the wrecks off the beaches. My clients had bent rods all week with mostly sheepshead. Were averaging 14 being brought back to the table with pompano,lane snapper,mangrove snapper,flounder,trout,grunts and mackeral mixed in. The choice of bait has been cut shrimp on a 3/8 jighead.

The inshore fishing has picked up with trout,redfish and pompano chewing on the flats. Make sure you find clean water and some healthy grass. What I do for the trout and pompano is drift the flats until you catch one and then anchor. The redfish I start on the edges and then work my way onto the flat as the tide comes in. Artificials are the way to go(gulps,jerk baits,skimmer jigs)
