Southwest Florida Fishing Reports

We, are half way through February and the fishing is surprisingly good. Yes, we had a fish kill but the Everglades and the rest of Southwest Florida seem to be rebounding quickly. Last week Wade Mayberry  had shots at some nice snook and landed five on fly one day. We also caught a big 4lb trout and some gag grouper along with plenty of ladyfish. I also fished around Sanibel with some  clients and on our best day we had 30 good shots at big snook in the 35″+ range and lots of nice redfish. We didn’t get the big snook  to eat our flies but they were there!!!! Tarpon should be showing up any week now and am really looking forward to a fantastic season… Come on down!!! I will get some photos posted soon!!

We had a great day on the water January 9th before the cold spell.  We found a small area full of snook,redfish and trout. We estimated over 1,000 snook were present in this small area. The day ended with 4 snook to 30″, 10 redfish and 20 trout. I wish everyday was that easy.
