dcathey Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Haven’t seen anyone posting a ton but was curious if the fisheries around N Captiva have a huge drop off that you would expect after last summer. We are coming back in July but was hoping to be surprised that they have rebounded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JnamJnam Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 I fished just a little bit north of N-Cap last weekend and was blown away by the amount of life! We caught 42 redfish. Noticeably a lot of the fish were little which is awesome to see. Most fish were in the 16-18" range. Biggest was 34". From my opinion the area is recovering quite well! Other guys I have talked to said its been the best in years. Hopefully they extend the catch and release again when it is up for debate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert3 Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Tons of lady fish and some reds mixed in with them,. Now an again some snook on the fly rod I can say I haven't seen any trout around. The water is nice and clear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCFD rtrd. Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Usually, this time of year, we are slaying the Pompano. I've been in Englewood for two weeks and haven't seen one Pompano. Anyone skipping any Pompano in the flats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert3 Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Lady fish schools are still strong here, baby snook everywhere and One tarpon hooked in my canal yesterday. I have caught a couple keeper trout since last report, but not much else. Guides are all busy as the season may happen early this winter.. Planning a trip to Choko, next week.. Looking forward to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JnamJnam Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Headed to Pine Island for the weekend. Hoping to do some pre-season/early-season tarpon flyfishing. Supposedly they are out there! Will report back after the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcathey Posted June 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 It seems everything is in better shape than last year. We are coming up on our annual trip and I remember last year that the red tide issues were already popping up. Any of you locals seeing anything down near N Captiva- Sanibel that is concerning? Im praying we get a good year after last years debacle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JnamJnam Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 No signs of red tide! I fished from N-Cap to Bocoa on Saturday. Lots of life / lots of bait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fin-addict Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Some very big snook all over the harbor and passes. Caught yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcathey Posted June 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 That’s a good one. Hope they are still around in about a month. We stay on the north tip of N Captiva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naples Maverick Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Echoing above for the pine island area - great water and lots of bait. Got this on artificial last weekend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcathey Posted June 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 That’s where I end up spending most of my time when I’m down there. You ever see any tripletail around in July? I’ve yet to catch one down there and figured the July heat might have a lot to do with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
