Some clients this past week got to experience a great redfish bite during a late February cold front. We caught lots of reds between 18-28inches with some smaller snook and see trout mixed in. Live shrimp was the bait of choice and we even got surprised with a small permit on one of the trips. March is right around the corner and comes with it warmer temperatures. We will soon be switching over to live minnows for fishing and the daily catch rate will skyrocket.

Salty Jaw Charters still has some great Tarpon days available over the next 5 months. So if you visiting Boca Grande, Manasota Key, Venice or Englewood give us a shout to come battle the mighty silver king in Southwest Florida.

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

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. 

Salty Jaw Charters is off for a few days do to torrential down pouring rain here in southwest Florida. But up in till now the weather has been spectacular and the fishing was excellent.

We’ve been catching good numbers of tarpon for the big game enthusiasts. Lots of trout, mackerels, snook and many others for the groups that want numbers and lots of action. Lots of smaller minnows have pushed into the bay which will bring in the mangrove snappers in big numbers. Fishing will remain good all summer long so book your charter today!
