Boca Grande Fishing Report & Forecast

1/29/2025

0 Comments

 
It felt good to get back out on the water after an abnormally cold week. I took out my little skiff with good client and friend Rick Avello  from the Philadelphia area and the fishing was pretty decent. It was the first decently warm day after a week of very cold temperatures and the fish were excited to see our soft plastic lures. We caught a total of 7 redfish and caught more then 30 trout with a few around the 20inch mark.

With spring right around the corner the snook fishing will start to heat up along with our water temperatures. Salty Jaw Charters is starting to fill up its Tarpon season so if you’re visiting the Boca grande Englewood area reserve your dates today.

Tarpon season starts around mid April and runs all through the summer with May and June being the peak two months.

Winter low tides in the little skiff has been a blast these past few weeks. One of My regulars Scott Hocking from Wyoming had a great first day to start his winter stay. With a bluebird sky and a temperature in the mid 70s we put the snack down on them. We landed several trout, snook and redfish in beautiful Gasperilla sound just off of boca Grande. We fished primarily with soft plastic lures and the fish just couldn’t help them selves. Tarpon season will be here fast so book those plane tickets and a few charters to get in on the action

Boca Grande Fishing Report: Winter Action Heats Up Along Florida's Gulf Coast

1/2/2025

0 Comments

 
Southwest Florida's legendary fishing grounds around Boca Grande are delivering exceptional action as we enjoy a stretch of perfect weather conditions. Local anglers and visitors alike are finding diverse opportunities both inshore and nearshore, with multiple species providing consistent action.
One of the most exciting developments is the arrival of sheepshead, as these highly sought-after fish begin their seasonal migration to our waters. Known for their exceptional table fare and challenging fishing tactics, sheepshead are providing anglers with both entertaining battles and delicious rewards. These striped battlers are typically found around structure, bridge pilings, and dock areas, responding well to live shrimp and fiddler crab baits.

The nearshore fishing scene continues to impress, with healthy populations of both lane and mangrove snapper being caught around natural and artificial reefs. Gag grouper are also making their presence known, giving anglers the opportunity to tangle with these hard-fighting bottom dwellers. These species are responding well to live bait presentations and are providing excellent action for both experienced anglers and families looking for a memorable day on the water.

In the rich backcountry waters, spotted seatrout numbers remain strong, offering consistent action for both artificial and live bait anglers. Adding to the inshore diversity, pompano are making occasional appearances, while redfish are mixing into the catch, creating exciting opportunities for anglers targeting these glamour species. The key to success has been focusing on moving water around oyster bars and grass flats.

For those planning a fishing trip to Boca Grande, current conditions suggest this is an optimal time to experience the diverse fishing opportunities our waters have to offer. Whether you're targeting tasty sheepshead, working the nearshore reefs for snapper and grouper, or exploring the backwaters for trout and redfish, the fishing action remains strong across all zones.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to monitor the evolving fishing patterns in our area.

Spectacular Winter Triple Tail Action with a Cherished Client

12/17/2024

Another incredible day on the water with longtime client and friend Russ Bayner, targeting triple tail along the pristine beaches of Boca Grande and Manasota Key. While the sight casting opportunities were selective, our persistence paid off with several quality catches that made the day memorable.

One of the highlights was exploring the newly formed pass that Hurricane Milton carved through the southern tip of Manasota Key – a dramatic reminder of nature's raw power reshaping our coastline. For anglers planning their Southwest Florida fishing adventures, I'm happy to report that Boca Grande is back to full operations, offering all its world-class fishing opportunities.

For those interested in the Manasota Key area, the restaurant scene and beach access are expected to make a strong comeback by mid-to-late January, just in time for peak season. The recovery efforts have been impressive, and the fishing remains outstanding.

Looking ahead, I'm already securing dates for the highly anticipated 2025 Tarpon season. If you've dreamed of battling the legendary "Silver King" in the Tarpon Capital of the World, now's the perfect time to lock in your spot with Salty Jaw Charters. Don't miss your chance at the fishing experience of a lifetime!

Salty Jaw Charters had a epic day this week with the Norton family around Manasota Key. The crew put together multiple inshore slams of snook redfish and spotted seatrout. 

The Fish have Been very active with very little fishing pressure which has generated days of very high catching totals. We still have a good amount of Tarpon around for those looking for tussle with a big game fish. 

The snapper fishing has been very productive in the Gulf of Mexico off the shores of Boca Grande and Englewood.

In the next couple of months we’ll see big schools of redfish invade the backwaters and king mackerel out in the Gulf of Mexico. So don’t wait book a charter today with one of the areas best.

The fishing and weather this August has been phenomenal for the most part. The snapper,trout and snook have been on the fore front as far as numbers go. The Tarpon are still around and get very active this time of year up in Charlotte Harbor. When the tarpon find the big schools of ladyfish it can be magical. The Tarpon will feed on these ladyfish creating massive explosions and sometimes fly high into the air.

We’re also starting to see some big schools of redfish coming into the area to feed and spawn. In a couple month with temperatures changes,we’ll start to see king mackerel and cobia start to show up in the Gulf of Mexico.

July has been hot but is providing Plenty of Rod bending action this summer. Salty jaw Charters is catching some nice snook along with redfish, sea trout and many others.

Tarpon fishing is still very productive around Boca Grande,Manasota Key and Charlotte Harbor. This trend will remain in effect for most the summer and into early fall for those that wanna catch a big silver king Tarpon.

The Snapper have piled into the area thick around little Gasperilla island and Manasota key in massive numbers. Catching limits of these delicious fish has been easy to accomplish for anglers of every skill level. When fall hits expect big groups of Spanish and king mackerels moving down the coast and we start to get a few cold fronts.
