The fishing in South West Florida is on fire. Inshore snook, redfish, and trout are being caught daily, fishing deep edges on lower water, and shorelines and oyster bars on high tides. Nearshore, the kingfish bite has been the best we have seen in 3 years. Bonita, Cobia, and Blackfin tunas, are also being caught on the nearshore reefs and ledges. Tarpon have moved into the area's harbor and bays, and have begun to stage in Boca grande pass for their spawning season. Fishing followers, there has literally never been a better time than right now, to go fishing in South West Florida.

Spring has almost sprung fishing folks.  But, until it has, we are still fishing our winter trends.  Pompano and triple tail are the target species during our cold water months.  Which due to the closers inshore, make for a gratifying half day trip.  Spending a few hours jigging the deep flats and sand bottom channels, and a few more hours running the correct trap lines, yields a fantastic haul for dinner.  With our bay temperature still in the mid 60's, but warm weather right around the corner, we look forward to our late winter and early spring guests catching some fantastic fish.  It's a fun time to be fishing in South West Florida, with spring on the horizon.

Fishing trips around the holidays have been filled with a good variety of food fish.  Nearshore, the triple tail fishing has been nothing short of epic.  Most trips are yielding multiple keepers with only a few hours of "searching".  Inshore, our water temperature has dropped close to the 70* mark, and pompano have moved into the deeper channels around the bay.  Drifting and throwing jigs, is the most effective way to target these fast moving, fantastic eating fish.  As always, it's a fun time of year, to be fishing in South West Florida!

Merry Christmas fishing followers!!! The fishing around Boca Grande and Palm Island Florida in this holiday season, is great this year. Triple tail are abundant, and are most definitely one of our areas best tasting fish. Sight fishing for them, is the best way to target them. Inshore, we are starting to see some pompano in our deeper sand bottom channels around the bay. This holiday season, buy someone the gift of fishing with a PIO gift certificate. It's a fantastic time of year to go fishing in South West Florida
