School Starts Means Great Fishing in S. Fl.

First of September around the Corner and the first hint of fall arrives this weekend as school has begun everywhere in Southwest Florida and the fishing should be about as good as it gets. Water temperatures will start to creep ever so slowly downward and fish will become more aggressive. Schools of redfish are now scattered through out the area. Look for tailers on a low tide then work the bars on a rising tide for easy strike ability.

Snook fishing is improving as these Linesider’s slowly begin their move back to the winter haunts. River mouths, island points, tidal creeks with good moving water should produce. Snook are fattening up for the winter and will take most offerings if presented correctly. If the fish you have found are meticulous eaters, try tackling down and finesse fishing to entice a strike.

Kingfish should start moving south and the runs in our area should be bigger and better than last year. Start looking for water temps in the mid to lower 70’s with a good hard bottom and bait, you should have success. That magic number of 75 to 80 will produce the biggest from the pier at Sharky’s in Venice, Florida.
