Boca Grand Fish Scattered

THIS MONTHS FISHING REPORT
Passing cold fronts and east winds have scattered fish to different than normal holding waters. The snook are in the creeks and up the Peace and Myakka rivers in the tributary streams which are accessible . We are finding tailing reds on low tides and first of the incoming tides. East winds push water out of the harbor and that coupled with negative tides produces islands and oyster bars that are exposed. Seatrout are available and we have been catching some to 24" and some bigger. The gulf is producing spanish mackerel and blue fish on almost every cast. Some triple tail on the outer crab traps and buoys. tailing reds are extremely spooky. Fly fishers using floating lines and soft presentations with shrimp patterns cast 2 feet in front of reds will have some success. Flies should be non weighted but tied with material that absorb water----like chenille wrapped eyes or chenille thoraxes. Eyes should be plastic not bead chain or lead. Barred craft fur tails have been the ticket. Book now for TARPON, It promises to be one of the best seasons in years.... Don't miss out!
