10,000 Islands to Charlotte Harbor fishing report

I've been splitting my time between the 10,000 Islands and Charlotte Harbor for the past month. The tarpon migration is about a month behind schedule this year and I'm having to go into the 10,000 islands to get on the good concentrations of migratory tarpon schools. The area is very wind dependent and if the wind is wrong the fishing can be tough. I am also seeing a lot of triple tail and permit when the weather is nice. I've been catching permit from 25-40 pounds and triple tail from 3-15 pounds. Most of the tarpon are 80-150 pounds. When the winds are not right for the 10,000 Islands, I've been comming back to Charlotte Harbor and fishing for snook, redfish and speckled trout. The fishing is heating up for snook which is a pleasant suprise considering that we had a epic snook kill this past winter. Fishing for redfish is good with schools on the outside bars and scatters singles along the islands. I haven't been targeting speckled trout much but when I do its been great. 20 inch trout are common and fish in the 23-26 inch range are caught daily. From what I've seen there aren't enough tarpon the Charlotte Harbor area yet to target on a daily basis. That why I focusing on the waters south for my tarpon charters.
