Florida Saltwater Reports, The Heat Is On In Southwest Florida

Welcome fellow anglers to Florida Saltwater Reports at FinClix.com. We offer fishing reports for serious anglers that are looking for good information about the fishing in their region, reports that are detailed and frequently updated. We know a fishing report is just another tool in an angler's arsenal along with things like weather reports, tides, lunar tables, or other things to help an angler make a reasonably sound fishing forecast. We offer these Florida Saltwater Reports for all anglers that fish here everyday or may just be coming to visit. If you would like to you are welcome to post as many Florida Saltwater Reports as you like. Please try to be detailed and don't forget to talk about the bait you were using and the fish you were targeting. Enjoy the rest of our Florida Saltwater Reports and thanks for visiting FinClix.com fishing reports.

Florida Saltwater Reports, Detailed Fishing Reports

Please enjoy our fishing reports and please post your own report for your state or region. Doesn't matter where you live or what region you fish as we try to display fishing reports for all types and styles of fishing. Fly fishing, surf fishing, wade fishing, to fishing 100 miles offshore in the Gulf Stream off the mid-atlantic coast are just some of the types of fishing reports we display. And that was just the saltwater fishing which is far outnumbered by all the types of freshwater fishing reports we see. We get freshwater reports for bass fishing in Mississippi to mountain stream fishing for trout in Colorado to Salmon fishing in the Great Lakes. Speaking of the Great Lakes, Michigan seems to be very popular for charter boat Captains and their fishing reports.

Some anglers just like to read certain fishing reports from exotic locales and dream about the day they will be able to take a fishing trip to whatever fishing paradise they are thinking about. For instance we have Key West fishing reports that tell us about extreme light tackle fishing and the excitiment of fighting a 100 pound tarpon in 3 feet of water while he sometimes walks on water during his effort to escape the pull of the angler and his rod n reel. Key West provides plenty of fishing action but for some it is not a likely destination so they read the reports and dream about a Key West fishing trip. Who knows? In time maybe those anglers that dream about fishing in a far off paradise will get their wish eventually and instead of their own Florida Saltwater Reports they will write a report about their tropical island fishing vacation.

Todays Date: 09/10/2010 Fishing Report Title: The Heat Is On In Southwest Florida State & Type of Report: Florida Saltwater Reports City You Fished In: Southwest Florida, Pine Island Fishing Report By: Captain Bill Russell Charter Name: Gulf Coast Limited Professional Guide Service Business Phone: 230-283-7960 Email: Email the angler or Capt. Website: http://www.fishpineisland.com Date of Report: 2010-06-26 Type of Fishing: Inshore, Flats & Bay Fishing Report: You can sure tell summer is here, it’s getting hot. The good thing with summer is plenty of fish and fewer anglers not a bad trade off for a little sweat. Tarpon numbers are still good in Charlotte Harbor and Pine island Sound. Live bait fishing was best during morning hours with large Atlantic thread herrings and pilchards then soaking cut bait on bottom was a better choice during the afternoon. Sharks continue as a steady by-catch as they frequently intercept tarpon baits. Inshore most were blacktips and off the beach we caught blacktip and hammerheads. Some days the difficult part of hooking a tarpon is keeping the sharks, mackerel, bluefish and others off the bait long enough for a tarpon to find it. We also caught several cobia and one nice gag grouper on live baits intended for tarpon in Charlotte Harbor. The Spanish mackerel and sea trout bite was steady over deep grass flats around Bokeelia. A combination of a deep grass flat with large schools of thread herring was a deadly combination for steady action. The fish were very active over the incoming tide but the bite dropped off dramatically over the falling tide during the heat of the day. With the arrival of summer and the heat that comes with it the best and most enjoyable fishing is the mornings. We have also fished several late afternoons for shark and tarpon with success but the afternoon thunderstorms are becoming more frequent.
