Sharks/+25-30Kt Winds, tough times - No SW FL Pro Fishing Guide I know is doing much based on current conditions. Countless charter are being cancelled by those who consider safety before money. For those who run the charters anyway at the risk associated with these dreadful conditions, more...

Things "should" get Hot after being all stirred up - My last 2 charters sucked the BIG ONE for snook and redfish but produced righteous size trout. In the last week (on 3 occasions) I tried all of my Nearshore spots and the water clarity was simpy not right. On countless occasions, I have described a more...

Winds are too excessive to fish - For the next 3-4 days, wind and rain should be a bigger story than the fishing. An incredible Pompano run started Sat but ended Sunday.

Big Gator Trout going down on Yo-Zuri Lure - Ah yes fellow fish fanatics. How about that for a headliner? There is good news in this report and bad news. As always, it comes with a 100% no BS guarantee (and BS does not stand for Bachelor of Science). No bull is my best clue.
Redfish have be more...
