Port Charlotte & Boca Grande Fishing Report

10/4/2016

0 Comments

 
We had a quick bout with Red Tide in south west Florida last week.  The good news is, it is starting to dissipate and the process of moving it offshore may be sped up with Hurricane Mathew scraping close to the East coast of Florida later this week.  Our guides have been focusing on the areas south in the larger waters of Charlotte Harbor during the last week.  Most of the fish have pushed way up in the back country to remove themselves from the effects of the deadly tide.  The guides that have been successful, have found fish at the heads of the creeks and most outer edges around the mouths, when the tide pushes high enough to access those areas.

The tarpon fishing in the upper harbor system has made for some better fishing in typically deplorable conditions considering the effects of red tide.  Looking forward, we expect the bait to move back into the beaches and sounds, and that should move the fish back out into the bays with a willingness to feed after a week or so of fasting.  Schools of redfish will be found again once the water cleans up, and snook should move back to the middle bays looking to fatten up before the first couple cold fronts of winter move in.  The crab traps will be set next week for an October stone crab season, and that means our triple tail fishing will hopefully start with a bang.  With all things considered, we are looking forward to being back on the water after a slow week of charters due to some "stinky" conditions.
