Spring Smiles! - Things have been crazy lately with great catches and lots of happy anglers. Bait has been tough moving up and down the coast but with some good throws you can load up the wells with some pilchards. I've been hitting a few spots early for trout acti more...

Windy weather made things tough but bite still on in Estero Bay - The wind is the story over the next few days and fishing in the blow is a problem. No worries. It will hopefully calm down on Tuesday or Wednesday and we can get back at it.

Estero Bay Report - The spotted seatrout bite continues to be on fire for backbay anglers in and around Estero Bay. Drifting the grass flats in 3-5 feet of water or setting anchor near deeper channels is where anglers are having the best action. Shrimp under popping c more...

Signs of Spring Fishing in the Naples Backwaters - It has been a great month of fishing so far. I have fished daily and most of the trips this month have focused on typical winter pattern fishing with good numbers of the more cool water tolerant species.

Two weeks of excellent fishing offshore - Seas were choppy Saturday morning, 1/28, when brothers, Nick, Andy, and Ken Eckle, fished with me 17 miles west of New Pass, using squid for bait.
