NOVEMBER HAS IT ALL November, a month we combine summer and winter fishing together. As cool fronts begin to arrive our waters are cooling down, fish are transitioning from summer to winter patterns. Sea trout is the state’s most popular inshore game fish and Southwest Florida is no exception; our waters boast some of…
LOOK FOR GREAT FISHING THIS MONTH As we roll into October there will be great opportunities for fishing both offshore and inshore. The waters of southwest Florida come alive with bait and you can be sure where there are concentrations of small fry there will be plenty of predators for some rod bending fun. Our waters hold…
SEPTEMBER BRINGS A WELCOMED CHANGE OF SEASONS It’s almost over, the hot days of summer that is. With the arrival of September it’s only a few weeks before we break out of the hot days and transition to the cooler days of autumn. This is great news for fishing around Southwest Florida for several reasons. At the top…
August in southwest Florida means hot sticky days, plenty of rain, and often thunderstorms. If you don’t mind working around the weather the fishing is often pretty good and competition from other boats is scarce. Redfish are becoming more consistent as summer progresses; most are legal size averaging twenty to twenty five inches with a few over size fish…

Two good things happen, first local waters are far less crowded as most of our winter visitors took off for the north, and second,…
SPRING ACTION BEGINS Finally, winter is officially over and spring is in the air. Several cold fronts over the last few weeks have made it difficult for fish to establish any type off pattern.

March Madness In southwest Florida the month of March is one of if not the busiest times of year. Tourist season is in full force, plus it’s Spring Break for schools across the country. While the roads can get very congested and restaurants with long lines, it’s a great time to get on the water, away from the crowds…
FEBRUARY FISHING THE TRANSITION BEGINS Sometime this month the transition to spring well begin. It all depends on the weather, if warm it should begin the first couple weeks, but if we have a cold front or two of any magnitude it could push the transition back a few weeks.
