REDFISH ARE EVERYWHERE!
By Lost4ever, 03/07/10

The reds have been everywhere! These pics come from 2 days of fishing with Andrew (Flatzbroke) and my little brother. The fish have been ranging anywhere for 18-32", and some very nice tournament fish. We caught about 15 the fish first day and probably 10 or 11 more the next trip. If you know what you’re doing you can catch as many as you want right now. We have been fishing the schools of fish early on low tide catching all of them on artificals. Even my little brother who is 12 got in on the action. Also there has been a ton of big trout in the bay just a little deeper than the reds. >>Forum Thread & More Photos

EXCELLENT MATLACHA REDFISHING
By CaptGregg, 03/01/10

We've had some excellent sight casting conditions here in Matlacha Pass recently. Our water is perfectly clear and you can see everything that moves. There are a lot of perfect, slot size redfish running up and down the mangroves both north and south of the Matlacha drawbridge right now. I caught this 24 inch fish yesterday near the power lines after an hour on the water spooking at least a dozen other reds and some very big snook. >>Forum Thread & More Photos

MATLACHA SNOOK GOING CRAZY
By Yaknitup, 02/12/10

Just wanted to share some pictures taken over the last week of fishing in this glorious weather we have had lately. The fish have been pushed up into the deeper canals and are feeding fairly decent. The snook bite has been great. The ones that made it are really hungry. >>Forum Thread & More Photos

TAMPA BAY TROUT
By Snook Mook, 02/01/10

Well yesterday Ron Smith (Bosox) and I headed out for a little fishing in upper Tampa Bay near Weedon Island. It was a pretty solid early morning low tide and the weather was less than perfect. We had pretty strong winds coming out of the north and it was much colder than we thought it would be. However, we were not to be deterred… >>Forum Thread & More Photos
