    Pine Island: It's Been Good Out There

    If you've been out on the water over the last few days you know how windy it's been but hopefully you've been catching a few decent fish. There are plenty of snook hiding under the mangroves and even though they like live bait best, artificials work too. Local angler Cal Tinkey landed this 28 incher on a Gulp Shrimp under a Cajun cork.


    Big trout are everywhere but we seem to really crush them one day and they get lock jawed the next. Bob Gertner went home with a couple days worth of filets last weekend.


    My favorite regular angler Jerry Pfeil landed the nicest red of the week with this 26 incher from the Indian Fields north of Matlacha at yesterday's high tide.



    And my buddy Dave Stiffler demonstrated why he's the world's greatest angler by using a single lure to land two fish.


    Not the best weather but great tides made up for it last week.

    Great February report! What a difference from 3 years ago.
    There is nothing in the world as expensive as that which the government gives away for "free."

    Thanks for the report. I hope to make it down there soon. Redfish and cabbage key margaritas...a good combination.
