  Find a reef on the FWC reef finder site.  https://myfwc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/View/index.html?appid=4675e1db32ac43a9a4308e757965d17d
  I fish much further south so the reefs I fish are further than 10 miles for you. Figure out the current, anchor, set up a chum slick and you will catch something!  Fish all depths of the water column including a live bait on top for Kings, cobia, cuda etc.  If you chum, they will find you!  Shrimp, squid and live baits like pinfish will get it done!

  Going to be in the are week days June 21-25?  Is that too late to for tarpon on the beaches?  I know that’s still prime time a bit further north.  How are the numbers of rolling fish off captiva that time?

  Some years no issue.  Some years they are off to spawn.  Never know.  Could be gone and back by then too.  Just depends on their moods.  Their should still be some around regardless but the big schools may have gone offshore for some nookie nookie.

  Thanks for the response.  Where is a good place to get crabs out of South Seas?

  Looks like you are there during a major moon phase so tide will be CRANKING.  Should be flushing in any all those major passes.  Can just scoop them up with a long net on the strong outgoing tides.
  
  This is boca grande but should be similar.  Or pay $40 a dozen or whatever ridiculous price they are charging.
