Let's start with the tides. We've got some solid conditions happening right now. Down in Fort Myers, we're looking at a tidal coefficient of 70, which is high—that means good current movement and excellent fish activity. High tide hit at 12:53 AM, with the next one coming in at 4:22 PM. Low tide was at 10:13 AM. That afternoon push is gonna be prime time. Over in Englewood's Lemon Bay, we're seeing a coefficient of 64 this morning, climbing to 72 by day's end. Perfect for getting out there. Sunrise was around 7:15 AM, and we've got until about 6 PM to work with—solid ten-hour window of daylight. Now here's what's been biting. Recent reports from the Tampa area show huge trout in the plus 20-inch class coming to the net on topwater action early in the morning. We're talking schoolie reds too. Rapala Skitter V's are producing like crazy. The captains out there have been crushing it, and the action's been consistent week after week. Up in Islamorada, snappers and wahoo are soaring, with sailfish bites heating up across the Keys as well. Red tide isn't an issue right now—no fish kills or respiratory irritation reported anywhere along the coast. We're clear to fish! For lures, stick with those topwater baits early. Rapala Skitter V's are your go-to for trout, but don't sleep on live shrimp and mullet for the reds. If you're targeting deeper stuff, soft plastics and live baitfish are working solid. Two hotspots I'd recommend: First, get out to the shallow flats around St. Petersburg and Indian Rocks Beach—those captains are consistently finding quality trout and reds on the incoming tide. Second, hit the inshore waters off Bradenton. The numbers are there, and conditions are prime. Thanks for tuning in, folks—make sure to subscribe for daily updates!
