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. 

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!

Had a great day with Mike Sheffar from Canada this last weekend. It was a very windy morning with some cooler temperature's, but we ended up catching a pile of fish with multiple inshore slams that morning. All three main species were biting in the back waters around Boca Grande which made for an epic day. Once the wind decides to lay down there will be lots of opportunities to chase king and Spanish mackerel out in the Gulf of Mexico in the coming months. While Manasota key and boca grande will take some time to heal up with accommodations for people to stay. There are still plenty of rentals off islands to stay for your fishing adventure. 

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 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.
