Summer is in full swing now as water temperatures have really heated
up and the afternoon rains have begun to be a daily event. The trick to
summer fishing in SW Florida is to plan your fishing in the morning and
evening hours avoiding the mid-day heat.
I have seen afternoon water temperatures reaching 93 degrees in the
bay recently. That makes the fish a bit sluggish until the later
evening hours. Some anglers have been taking advantage of the sunset
trips with good results. However, it has been a bit of a gamble with
the lightening producing afternoon thunderstorms getting in the way.
Ben and I have had some great catches in the last week or so with
many large snook still making happy memories for our anglers. Shark
fishing has been as easy as it gets with mainly bull and lemons sharks
ranging from 5 foot scrappers to 8 1/2 foot bruisers. They are
providing great action for those who want to catch a big fish and get a
work out at the same time!
Redfish have also been showing up in many of the spot we are
concentrating on snook. Although they are not schooled up, they are
very nice fish running in the 24 to 30 inch range when we find them.
The following are photos of some of the snook released in the last week with Capt. Ben and I. …
July promises to be a great month to get on the water and catch some trophy sized fish in the backwaters!
