------------------------------------

Robert &  Capt. Josh  02/18/2023 — There has been some red tide from Gasparilla Pass to Boca Grande Pass, leaving some dead floating fish. However, the trout, ladyfish, snook, redfish and sheepshead have all been biting despite that.

Robert &  Capt. Josh  02/11/2023 — Very fishy. Spanish mackerel, ladyfish and trout in the open; snook and redfish around the oysters and mangroves and docks. The water is getting very clear, so plan to make longer casts so you don't spook fish.

Robert &  Capt. Josh  07/23/2022 — Trout in 5 to 8 feet of water off Devilfish Key and in the channel all the way up to Placida. Spanish mackerel are the bycatch. Whidden and Catfish creeks are holding snook and reds under the bushes, but you need flowing water.

Robert &  Capt. Josh  07/02/2022 — Lots of little sharks, Spanish mackerel, ladyfish, a few bigger tarpon. Moving water around the bushes should hold big redfish and smaller snook. Water's pretty clear, but the fish are hungry.
