Fall Approach With the first hint of fall arriving this weekend in Southwest Florida fishing should be about as good as it gets. Water temps are falling and fish are becoming more aggressive. Schools of redfish are scattered through out the area. Look for tailers on a low tide then work the bars on a rising tide. Snook fishing is improving as these linesiders move back to the winter haunts. River mouths, island points, tidal creeks with good moving water should produce. Snook are fattening up for the winter and will take most offerings if presented correctly. If the fish you have found aren’t eating try tackling down and finesse fishing to entice a strike. King fish should start moving south and the runs in our area have been bigger and better each year. However near shore fish have been seriously affected by what seems to be an everlasting redtide bloom, pushing these fish and the bait they eat further offshore. Start looking for water temps in the mid to lower 70’s with a good hard bottom and bait, you should have success. Good Things Come To Those With Bait. Capt Andy Boyette
