Palm Island Outfitters Fishing Report by Capt. Mike Slattery

3/25/2020

Fishing in South West Florida is on fire fishing followers. Inshore, redfish and snook are being caught daily by fishing guides throughout the region.  Nearshore, our spring migration of kingfish, Bonita, Cobia, and mackerel have moved into the area on our artificial reefs. The weather forecast for the next 10 days looks beautiful. If you are in the area, take advantage and get outside to do some fishing. It's a great time to be fishing in South West Florida!

Palm Island Fall Fishing Report & Forecast

9/23/2019

The October fishing around Palm Island is typically some of the best of the year. Nearshore, we see a seasonal push of mackerel, Bonita, kingfish, and Cobia around our reefs and live bottom. Inshore, we still are catching snook and redfish on our areas flats and Mangrove shorelines. Tarpon are staging on mud flats and deep holes in the upper harbor system. They are fattening up on assorted baits, with the anticipation of winter's arrival. With the shorting of days, and dryer air moving into the region, fish become active and make the fall season on of my favorites, for weather and fish production. It's a great time of year to be fishing in South West Florida!

Palm Island & Boca Grande Fishing Report by Capt. Mike Slattery

7/9/2019

After a crazy week of holiday charters, our summer time fishing is still going strong. The tarpon are still hanging in the passes and on the beach for the early morning bite. Snook fishing around those same areas yielded lots of bites from juvenile fish, that kept the lines tight. Mangrove snapper have moved inside, so any structure that we fish for snook is holding good amounts of some food fish too. We have a low pressure weather system moving into the northern gulf this week. Expect some rain, but buy the weekend we should be ready to go back to fishing. It's a fun time to be fishing in Boca Grande and Palm Island Florida!!!

With some South Westerly wind and a low pressure system moving into the area this week, we focused our attention to the inshore fishing. Snook are the typical "go to" fish inside in the summer time heat. Fishing deep shorelines and edges around the areas passes have yielded good numbers and quality size.  We are looking forward to getting back to Tarpon fishing this weekend, with projected winds due to turn East. It's a fantastic time to be fishing in Boca Grande and Palm Island Florida!!!

Palm Island & Boca Grande Summer Fishing Report by Capt. Mike Slattery

It's summer time for sure here in South West Florida!  We have had high temps in the low 90's and the summer time fishing is responding in a positive way.  The Tarpon fishing over the weekend was about as good as it gets.  We hooked 20 Tarpon, and finished second place in the longest running Tarpon tournament in the United States!  It definitely is a great time to be go fishing here at Palm Island and Boca Grande FL.

Fishing in South West Florida is in full swing! Our inshore snook fishing has been good, and turning great. Big packs of fish are being spotted by the passes and beach front. Tarpon have finally started to pour into our area from both North and South. There were literally thousands of fish on the beach for memorial day weekend. Nearshore fishing has exploded a bit later than usual.  Kingfish, mackerel, Cobia, and Bonita have taken up residence on our nearshore reefs and ledges. There has literally never been a better time to go fishing, while staying at Palm Island and Boca Grande Florida!!!

SW Florida: Palm Island and Boca Grande Fishing Report by Capt. Mike Slattery

3/18/2019

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.

Well fishing folks, its looking like Spring has sprung early hear in South West Florida! We are seeing pollen from our pine trees and white butterflies in the air. That means tarpon season is right around the corner. As a Florida native and now a fishing guide hear in the state, there truly is no more exciting time of year than spring!  The tarpon will begin their seasonal migration, all set to congregate on our areas beaches and passes come the month of May. If you or anyone you know has their mind set on fighting a silver king, now is definitely the time to start planning. We offer 4hr, 6hr, and 8hr trips; along with travel packages that include lodging at a barrier island resort.  Please visit our website for more information, and don't let another season pass you by without your shot at this iconic gamefish.

Palm Island SW Florida Nearshore Fishing Report by Capt. Mike Slattery

1/9/2019

Happy New year fishing friends!  2019 started off with a bang in South West Florida. We had absolutely fantastic weather over the holidays, and most of our guides took advantage of the slick calm seas to fish some of our nearshore waters. Their clients were delighted with bent rods and a mixed bag of reef fish. Catches included sheepshead, snapper, grouper, black drum, and grunts, with some groups lucky enough to add a triple tail or two.  

Our backcountry fishing has been slower to rebound after the redtide.  In most of our bays dock fishing has been the game. This approach has yeilded black and red drum, sheepshead, snapper, and snook. The guids that can chase further up the creeks are finding some larger redfish and nice numbers of trout.  

It's a beautiful time of year to visit and fish South West Florida!

Palm Island Nearshore Fishing Report by Capt. Mike Slattery

6/14/2018

With a week of calm winds and flat calm seas, our Capt. have been taking advantage by fishing the nearshore reefs and wrecks.  Snapper are preparing for a late summer spawn, and are in good numbers around structure inside 9 miles. Trolling these reefs can produce, barracudas, king mackerel, Bonita, and sharks to name a few. Inshore, our bite slowed a bit at the beginning of the week due to a slight bout with red tide. But, we have saw the fish moving back into their typical format later in the week, and all seems well again along the South West Florida coast. It's a fun time of year to be fishing around Palm island Resort Florida!!!
