Hunter Naeve fishing the Boca Grande area.
My son Hunter and I went down to Charlotte Harbor to fish Boca Grande, Bull and Turtle Bays, Widens Creek and the other outlying areas. The red tide is gone, it’s been pushed offshore and the fishing has been fantastic.
During the red tide, shrimp grow a quarter inch a day and crabs can also survive in red tide. When the red tide is gone a huge buffet is waiting for all the fish to move into that area.
While we lost lots of snook and redfish that were spawning and would not leave the pass we still have plenty of small ones in the backcountry and the closed limit should ensure we have great fishing in future years.
Grab your kid and enjoy a great day on the water CBs tackle is booking trips now.
I've been a fishing guide the Sarasota , Boca Grande area for over 25 years. My Sarasota trips are mostly family oriented 1/2 day fishing trips involving kids who love to catch all the family fun fish. My Boca Grande trips are for the more experienced spin or fly fishing angler.
