Between the tides, wind, low water and a drop in temperature heading into the weekend, it was a tough week of fishing for many. Early through mid-week, fishing was decent inshore for snook, seatrout and redfish. Redfish and snook were caught around islands and oyster bars with wind and ...
With temperatures on a steady climb all week and warmer waters, fishing was good. Weekdays brought calm seas giving good days for the offshore run, then winds ramped up for the weekend keeping most boats inshore. Anglers hunting for a sheepshead dinner, boated fish up to 5 pounds in the ...

This past week gave us winter fishing in Southwest Florida -- a cold front followed by several sunny days, and another cold front for the weekend. And, of course, some north wind and extreme low tides. Reports of red tide came from our southern areas, including waters around St. James City and ...
