Subject: S.W. Florida Fishing is "HOT, HOT, HOT"
Looking at the Weather Channel I find it hard to believe that most of the country is still deeply imbedded in winter, as we are basking in the low to mid 80’s day after day with our water temperature in the low 70’s. With our good fortunes our pelagic species of near shore fish such as King Mackerel and Cobia are showing up in force. Another fish that most people have not even heard about is the Triple Tail. The Triple Tail is a great fighting fish that is very easy to locate and easier to catch. The Triple Tail can be found at the surface by the Stone Crab Trap floats that are up and down the West Coast of Florida from 10’ of water all the way out to 50’ and more. As you are running from Fishing spot to Fishing spot look at the Crab Trap Markers as you go by. Once you find the Triple Tail you can catch them with a small spinning rod or a fly rod. The Triple Tail is a hard fighting and very good eating fish.
The inshore fishing for Redfish and Snook are also in full swing. Within the next few weeks the baitfish will be here and will provide the ability to live bait large numbers of fish. That can only mean one thing to a Tarpon Guide; the biggest event of the year is just around the corner, The Beach Going Tarpon will arrive. Tarpon generally show up in late April but with the water temperature going up so fast the Tarpon may make an early appearance.
Good Fishing
