Redfish are feeding under the mangroves on the higher water. A chunk of ladyfish or a live pinfish with the tail cut off has worked best when fished as far under the trees as you can get. Summer mangrove snapper are also beginning to show under the trees.
Late afternoon up until sunset has been the best time for shark fishing. There are blacktips, bulls and lemons of all sizes in north Matlacha Pass and Charlotte Harbor near Bokeelia during the late day falling tide. The sharks are cruising the shallow channels or troths along the sand bars, most in less than seven foot depths. Fresh cut bait like a ladyfish or mullet half has worked best fished on bottom in areas with a decent tide movement.
Summer is passing by fast, it will be time for school before you know it, I encourage everyone to take a kid fishing or boating before they return to the classroom.
