It is that time of year where just about everything is going on in Charlotte Harbor! Boca Grande Pass is full of tarpon and there are many scattered throughout the harbor. Seen some exceptionally large Cobia being caught. Large schools of Spanish mackerel are also flying around the open water of the harbor. I, myself, the past few weeks have spent a lot of time in the backwaters of Pine Island, Gasparilla sound and the upper Charlotte Harbor; have been getting a mixed bag of redfish, snook, and plenty of jacks. I forgot to add, some large trout around 20 inches long. It has not seemed to matter where I fished; the fishing has been good if you are not fishing right now; you are missing out.
Tight lines,
Captain Scotty
