Ft. Myers, Sanibel inshore fishing
The warm weather has made it a lot better for fishing. The Trout fishing is still very good. Lots of short fish, but you will catch some real nice fish. A DOA shrimp and a popping cork works great, or a live shrimp.
Pinch the tail off and use a 1/8oz. jig head, hooked in the tail. Fish The oyster bars in Matlacha Pass, with some deeper water around them on in coming tide. Gault Is. has some nice fish, and some good fish around Chino. Red Fish are in skinny water. Bull Bay, Turtle Bay, and the back of Whidden Bay. Fish early on in coming water. Watch for tailers. Best bait, live shrimp with a split shot. Pinch the tail off hook shrimp in the tail. Sheepshead bite has improved a bunch. Try using those old dead shrimp that have turned yellow they stink but work great! Don't forget, if you need shrimp see my good friend Sal at the fish house at the end of Palm Av. or marker 12 ICW. If you are fishing Charlotte harbor, go by and see Capt. Ray at Fine Bait and Tackle on US 41 north of Lowe's.
Have a good week, good luck.
