April was a great month fishing around Pine Island, Sanibel,
and southwest Florida, and May could be even better. This is the month to target the big boys as tarpon season
kicks off in full swing and gets much of the attention.
Catching a Grand Slam (tarpon, snook, redfish, sea trout) is
possible, not an easy task but possible if the cards on a given day stack in
your favor.
Sharks also give a great fight, especially blacktip and
spinners. May is one of the best months for inshore sharks of all shapes and
sizes.
Snook season closed the first of May, with everyone targeting
tarpon it’s a great time for fun with catch and release snook fishing.
Red fishing over the past month has been spotty, but most
that we are catching are in the upper slot or oversize. Always a great fight!

With kids and family on the boat its hard to beat Spanish
mackerel for action packed fun. They hit like a train and the kids love the
long drag screaming runs.
Sea trout is another fun fish for the family, giving steady
action, and also great on the table.
