The weather in Cape Coral has been amazing and the inshore bite is just as hot! Snook are hungry along the Fort Myers and Cape Coral shorelines and nice, meaty white bait has been the ticket for the hungry linesiders. 

We found some schools of lower slot redfish on the east side of Pine Island Sound directly across from Sanibel and Captiva Islands.  Cut bait worked best deep under the bushes on the afternoon high tide.

We took full advantage of the warmer weather last week and had a great time with our loyal customers fishing out of Cape Coral, Florida!

The holidays are always a special treat when we get to see our good friends from the north and spend the day on the water!

Snook really fired up with the warmer water temps. We found fish of all sizes along the Cape Coral and Fort Myers shorelines of the Caloosahatchee River.  Pilchards were the bait of choice which is common with the bigger linesiders.

Still finding decent schools of Black Drum in our area. What a great fight on light tackle those fish can be. Live shrimp was the key for those guys last week.  Schools of drum were holding tight along the oyster bars of Sanibel Island and Captiva Island as well as the bars along the east side of Pine Island Sound.

Good mix of Snook, Trout and even some Black Drums in the river lately along the Cape Coral and Fort Myers shorelines.  Live shrimp was the key for these hungry fighters!
