Drummer Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 I have been fishing around here for about 30 years and cannot remember seeing the water as clear as it is right now. Mullet are a little scarce, as are the reds, but snook, trout, and snappers are thick. Not as many pesky dolphins as last year, thank The Lord. If you haven't been out lately, don't miss this tropical paradise in full bloom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conocean Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Water was ridiculously clear from Jewell Key north to Picnic Key last week. I know that's far south of Captiva but I couldn't believe the water clarity. Fishing was decent and I didn't see any porpoise in that area. The water was spotty from Choko Pass south with dozens of porpoise rolling, as usual, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMovements Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Perfect timing, I am just getting to Captiva tomorrow. Brought my 19 Redfisher, we are staying near redfish pass, could you point me in a direction to fly fish for snook? Also have you seen many tarpon this way? Thanks in advance!

conocean Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 It's a bit of a run from Captiva but we saw numerous poons rolling in the deep channels that spill into the Gulf between Goodland & Choko Pass at the end of the outgoing tides. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are near the action. My boat is at Jensen's Twin Palms Marina. I can show you a few spots. Meet you in the AM or text me 704-619-2685.
