Early Fall Palm Island Fishing Report by Capt. Mike Slattery

9/25/2022

0 Comments

 
The fall season has arrived... With lots of rain this month, the water temperature has started to fall. Lots of snook are starting to move and stage in close proximity to our passes, and the outer edges of the backcountry. Large schools of redfish are being found throughout the harbor and bays. Trout are being found over the deeper grasses in high flow areas. Tarpon are staging in the deeper pockets of the harbor for a late season feed before winter. For all those reasons, fall is a fantastic time to go fishing in South West Florida!!!

Palm Island Fishing Report - The Redfish Are Here!

8/24/2022

0 Comments

 
School is in... Not just for our children, but for another that holds a special place in our hearts, Redfish! Big schools of redfish are starting to show up around the fishery here in Palm Island, Florida.

Large numbers have started the pre-spawn pattern of grouping up to socially mingle, and increase their feeding opportunities.  These schools will scour the flats and edges, looking for any movement of prey, and can most times be spotted by the color of the tightly packed school of 100's of Redfish! As our fall season approaches, it's a fantastic time to go fishing in South West Florida!

Our new Parker 25'
Summer time fishing is in full swing!!! With the addition of a "new to us" boat to our fleet, we have been in consistent Tarpon and snook fishing. The tarpon fishing is being done in Boca Grande pass, and on the beach front. Our Parker 25' can accommodate a larger party, up to 6 anglers, and affords comfortable and stability.  Our snook fishing is being done out of the Pathfinder 22' and has all the latest technology to put your party up to 4 anglers on great inshore game fish.  It's a fantastic time to go fishing in South West Florida!!!

Fishing around Palm Island and Manasota Key Florida has been fantastic this April. Unseasonal cold fronts has held our water temperature in the "goldilocks zone" for a few weeks now. Snook, Spotted Sea Trout, and Redfish are being caught on almost every half day trip, and we are starting to see some Tarpon move into our area as well. As we creep closer to the coveted 80 degree mark for water temperature, we will continue to see our fishing improve. It's a fantastic time to go fishing in South West Florida!!!

Palm Island Winter Fishing Report by Capt. Mike Slattery

1/28/2022

With cold temps in the air now, winter is really here... No fooling this time, it's for real!  So we are locked into our bay pompano fishing.  We are finding these great tasting fish, throughout the region. Tide, and sandy bottom with broken grass is important, clean water helps too. We are also finding nice trout and redfish on the flats, warming on the grass with rising temperature and water.  It really is a fantastic time to go fishing in Southwest Florida!!!

Palm Island Winter Fishing Report

Winter time in South West Florida?  We ask this question, because our weather has been anything but cold!  Palm Island and Manasota Key have had a beautiful Christmas run of fair winds and mild temperatures.  With that the fishing has been fantastic.  The afternoon when it gets warmer, has produced phenomenal numbers.  We had a family from Atlanta, on an afternoon charter today.  "We probably caught 50 snook" is what the client said.... It's a fantastic time to go fishing in Southwest Florida!!!

The wind has been brutal since memorial day weekend. So, the Tarpon bite has been lackluster to say the least.  Because of that, I tend to turn my focus on another "big game" species we have available in summer time. Big snook hunting can be some of the most fun and rewarding fishing we offer. Multiple bite days, often in the double digits, with the opportunity for the anglers to land a trophy sized fish. June is the month for catching big critters, and we have them in fantastic order. It's a great time to be fishing in South West Florida.

Tarpon Season in SW Florida

6/2/2021

Our Tarpon fishing is in full swing!  The entire fishery is "open" for bites.  The beaches, harbor, and passes all afford their own opportunity for catching the silver king.  This past week on the super moon, we concentrated our efforts on the beach and harbor fishery.  Our clients were awarded with shots at big schools of fish, and bites in the right conditions.  It's a fun and exciting time to go fishing in south west Florida!!!

The week started out on an absolute high note with that super moon on Monday.  We recorded our first "client" tarpon bite of 2021, and caught the "Grand slam" plus 2 keeper cobia.  We were able to successfully produce results on that same trend for a second day in a row on Tuesday.  Wednesday the tide slowed and the Tarpon fishing got difficult us. As the week progressed, we saw that the fishing tailed off a bit.  But, we still boated 250+ snook, more than 20 overslot redfish, and only the trout we needed to catch and secure the "inshore slam" ever day this week.  That being said, isn't it about time to go fishing in south west Florida?

Tarpon Season in SW Florida

The South West Florida winter just doesn't seem to want to subside.  Moving into the middle of April, we are still seeing northern blows and weak fronts... But, they seem to have about run their course, and our trend looks to be moving along the summer temperature trend.  That means it's time to go TARPON FISHING!!!!  As a SWFL guide, we live for this season.  Giant schools of Tarpon moving into our area from the north and south.  We will hunt these giant groups of fish in crystal clear water, using live bait and lures.  There has never been a better time to book a Tarpon charter for summer time in South West Florida!!!
