You name it. Snook, redfish, trout, pompano, king mackerel, cobia, snappers, bass, crappie and more are biting inshore, offshore and in fresh waters all over Southwest Florida. Even the weather has been good.
Pompano may well be the tastiest and pound-for-pound strongest fighting fish Southwest Florida has to offer. They also may be hardest to successfully target, but chances are rarely better than indicated by recent reports.
The cool breezes associated with fall cold fronts are a double-edged sword, slicing good and not so much. Cooling water temperatures inspire pelagic species to move south along the Gulf Coast.
