Fishing is Hot in Southwest Florida

Finally we are getting our daily summer rains in southwest Florida. This is a relief as the rains have dropped both the air and water temperatures that were becoming uncomfortably hot for both fish and anglers. Tarpon are still around and with a lot less pressure than over the previous months. {%image_id=21496%}{%image_id=21492%} Summer is a great time for shark fishing the waters around Pine Island, inshore there are plenty of bulls, lemons and blacktips. {%image_id=21495%} With the summer rains our redfish bite should become more consistent. Most of our recent fish are coming from Matlacha Pass under the mangroves on high water. {%image_id=21493%} Trout and Spanish mackerel are still in Charlotte Harbor and Pine Island Sound. The best bet is to look for clear water over deeper grass flats on the incoming tide. {%image_id=21494%} If you don't mind a little heat the summer is a great time to fish in southwest Florida. The crowds are gone and the fishing can be pretty good.
