The fishing around Palm Island has remained consistent this week.  We have had a lot of families on the water for spring break.  The mackerel fishing nearshore was great at the beginning of the week.  With plenty of rod bending action, and some filets to take home at the end of the excursion.  With the wind picking up towards the end of the week, we focused our attention inshore.  Lots of juvenile snook and redfish are in the bay, fishing deeper water shorelines on intermediate tides yielded the best catch.  It's a fun time to be fishing at Palm Island and Boca Grande FL.

Spring time fishing got off to a great start this week. Our good client and great friend Tom caught 2 slot sized snook on his halfday inshore. Locally, our governing body has closed season on snook and redfish until further notice.  So, Tom and I, were happy to release the fish to help our areas efforts on rebounding quickly. We were able to find a nice school of pompano that kept us busy for almost an hour, and those are not catch and release. Tom took some home from a fresh fish dinner. It is a fantastic time to be fishing in South West Florida!
