Pine Island’s January Fishing Report

Welcome to www.bluewaterpi.com’s monthly fishing report. This month’s letter comes from Capt. Cory McGuire.

Happy New Year from Falling Tide Charters!

With December containing the best fishing and weather we’ve ever had, I had several great charters which included 15-20 Reds as well as 4 charters where we caught over 30!
One of those days starting off rough as out of town Mullet fishermen ran over our spots, Richard Brusca, his brother in law Billy and friend Ralph Demarcos ended up reeling in plenty of Reds on live Shrimp fishing in the potholes. At the end of the day, we ran back in a secluded bay and proceeded to catch 15 more Redfish on white Gulp! jerkbaits. It was a great trip with even better people.

The Trout fishing has steadily been picking up with most of them being caught on live Shrimp, Gulp! jerkbaits and rattling lures.
This kind of fishing should continue through January and give us a good start to the New Year!

Sincerely,

Capt. Cory McGuire

P.S. We are still designing the new website, which means we are still in need of testimonials and pictures from all the great fishing trips we’ve had! Email them to me at Fallingtide7@aol.com.

Tarpon Season ~ Its not too late!

For those of you that have yet to experience Tarpon season, let me tell you its something that you don’t want to miss! The short time between May-July, Tarpon migrate into world famous Boca Grande Pass, Captiva Pass and you may even see them in Pine Island Sound. There is nothing like the thrill of fighting a fish that just might weigh more than you! I only have 11 full days left in May as well as a few afternoons so don’t wait!
