Charlotte Harbor / Pine Island Sound Fishing Report

Trout and redfish are moving onto the grass flats in the Sound. In the upper harbor the Redfish are in the holes around the mangroves. The Snook are getting more active as the water warms. Fishing Tactics: Make your redfish presentations to the edges of potholes in grass flats. Baitfish and shrimp imitations will work best. Seatrout will be on banks near grass. Chartreus or hot pink Clousers will be productive. My Fishing Tip of the Week: The Redfish on the grass flat will be spooky. Stake out or drift and watch for schools of reds moving over the flats. Long casts and stealth will be key in hooking up.
