December Fishing

December has started out being a fantastic month to fish. From awesome limits of trout to fighting Kingfish and Bonita along the beaches now is a great time to fish in SWFL. The backcountry fishing has been improving with cooler water temps targeting trout and redfish on the incoming tides in very shallow waters. I like to find troughs between 2-5 feet deep these fish really like to stack up. Snook and big jacks can be found on most mangrove points and throwing out a few scouts can help stimulate the bite.{%image_id=46146%} Tarpon can be found not only in big schools on the beaches but also migrating into the backcountry. {%image_id=46143%} While targeting Kingfish and Bonita don't be surprised to find a big tarpon migrating south on the beaches. The redfish bite has been improving in the backcountry as well and these guys put up an awesome fight.{%image_id=46144%}
