Andy Boyette/Go Fish Charters http://gofishcharters.com/fishingreport/?p=253 Boca Grande to Fort Myers Florida Fishing Summer Outlook 
The April-July tarpon fishing season was awesome. Tarpon should stay here in good numbers through out the summer. The snook fishing reports have been better. The redfish are starting to school up and will continue through the summer and in to the fall. Mangrove snapper will move on to the flats, along with some decent grouper in the passes. Late Summer fishing in the Boca Grande and Fort Myers area should continue to be on par, with some spectacular late tarpon fishing leading the way.

Tarpon Fishing
GOT TARPON! The spawning season for tarpon may be over, but the summer season is just starting, from Charlotte Harbor to Fort Myers Florida, the summer tarpon fishing will be at its best. I always have my best tarpon fishing days in the summer, look for tarpon in Charlotte Harbor, Pine Island Sound and on the beaches, all the way to Fort Myers and throughout Southwest Florida. The fact that we have had no oil in our area and with oil north of here it is affecting the migration of tarpon and sending them back in the area THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS WILL BE AWESOME

Snook Fishing
Snook fishing despite the cold weather affects from earlier this year is very good and August-October should continue. Snook feed well during the spawn and the catch and release action has been really good with plenty of large Snook. These fish stage in areas close to the passes and are excited to see a live wells full of bait. The night time snook fishing around the lighted docks in Punta Gorda, Ft. Myers, Boca Grande Gasparilla to Sanibel and Captiva will have fantastic snook action and the night time temps are more fishing friendly to the anglers. Snook are still catch and release through September 1st as we wait to see if the State will reopen the harvest.

Redfish Fishing
Redfish fishing will heat up as late summer and early fall approach. The redfish will start to school up as they begin their annual spawn. Beginning in August and lasting well into October. Look for redfish to be on the outside of the bars where larger fish are maturing and venturing off into deeper water. Pinfish and sardines are key to success along with cut bait. Chumming well know areas on rising tides well activate these schools into a feeding frenzy where non stop action can be experienced. A tale-tale sign of this spawning occurrence is the shorter days leading into early fall.

Mangrove Snapper and Grouper
The near shore fishing action should pick up especially for mangrove snapper and grouper. Mangrove snapper will be found on the flats and in the passes. Fishing the Boca Grande and Captiva passes will no doubt reward the angler with a limit for the table. Light tackle and fluorocarbon leader is a must. The gag grouper in the keeper range will also be available and will require bigger tackle than the snapper.

Andy Boyette/Go Fish Charters http://gofishcharters.com/fishingreport/2007/12/11/tarpon-fishing-3/ Tarpon in Charlotte Harbor, King Fish near the beach, Redfish tailing in Pine Island Sound, Snook moving up the rivers. The Florida weather as been picture perfect making fishing as hot as it gets this time of year with a variety of options. Tarpon near the 41 bridge in target able numbers last week moved in to Boca Grande Pass for a late season bite if you where lucky enough to be in the right spot at the right time.
King Fish are in good numbers close to the beach and on near shore wrecks and can be caught with blue runners and other live baits. We hauled 25 stretch magnums this weekend in 50 foot of water and scored several nice kings in the 25-30lb range with smaller school fish mixed in.
The Picture perfect skies and light wind coupled with extreme low tides produced great tailing redfish throughout Pine Island Sound. With shrimp and soft plastic jerk baits taking numerous fish in the slot and plenty of oversize redfish mixed in.
Snook fishing is good close to the river mouths as t these fish move back in to winter grounds. Dock fishing and deep-water cuts are holding good numbers of fish. The bait at the mouth of the rivers is phenomenal and will help fatten up these fish for the upcoming months.
