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!!!

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.
Capt. Mike Slattery 941-626-6946 www.palmislandoutfitters.com www.charlotteharborchronicles.com 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!!!
Capt. Mike Slattery 941-626-6946 www.palmislandoutfitters.com www.charlotteharborchronicles.com 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.
Capt. Mike Slattery 941-626-6946 www.palmislandoutfitters.com www.charlotteharborchronicles.com Well fishing folks, its looking like Spring has sprung early hear in South West Florida!

As a Florida native and now a fishing guide hear in the state, there truly is no more exciting time of year than spring!

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.

Capt. Mike Slattery 941-626-6946 www.palmislandoutfitters.com www.charlotteharborchronicles.com 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! Capt. Mike Slattery 941-626-6946 www.palmislandoutfitters.com www.charlotteharborchronicles.com 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!!!

Tarpon Fishing is in full swing on the South West Florida coast. Multiple bites per hour are not uncommon if conditions are good. Being early June, big female breeding fish have arrived throughout our area. A 6 hour to 8 hour trip should afford our anglers the chance of landing a fish of a lifetime. Tarpon up to 200lbs. are common pre spawn in mid summer. Inshore, snook fishing is about as good as it gets. Giant snook have gathered for a late summer spawn. These fish will feed hard in the coming weeks to fatten up on protein. We take extra caution with these big female fish, as they are so very important to our fishery. As always, it's a great time to be fishing in South West Florida!!!
