As we come into March are weather is still colder than usual but, the water temperature has moved it's way into the mid and even high sixties in most places. With the warmer water temperature you can expect Trout fishing to pick up, try fishing shallow flats early in the morning 1-3 ft. then as the day progresses move to the deeper flats 4-7 ft. In March you can expect Redfish to show up in a big way. Look for Reds to congregate on the deeper mangrove shorelines on the top of the incoming tides. Sheepshead and Snapper will still be a go to fish, try fishing any structure near the passes, and as the tide starts to slow down try chumming with little chunks of shrimp to get the bite turned back on. If you have any questions or wish to book a charter feel free to call Capt. Cory McGuire at 239-738-9095 anytime.

             As the water begins to warm back up, and our cold fronts become milder, fishing will be getting better as the month progresses. Trout fishing has been on fire, catching 50 or more has become a regular occurence on recent charters. Redfish are starting to show up in small groups of 15-20 fish along the east wall of Pine Island Sound, in the deeper mangrove shorlines, as well as some of the sandy potholes. Near shore fishing on the local wrecks will produce good sized snapper this time of year along with cobia,kingfish,grouper as well as some permit.  February holds tons of great fishing action no matter what you choose to target.
