Capt. Rhett's March Fishing Report

For all of you who have never experienced good Snook fishing, the chances for encountering more quality size Snook are better than ever. As a result of the much needed closure on Snook due to the 2010 freeze, the Snook population is on the rise for the first time in 10 years. We have been averaging between 20 and 40 Snook, Redfish, and Trout during every four hour charter. We are currently at least a month and a half ahead of schedule with warm weather, which is making the fishing as good as it can possibly be for this time of year. Along with great flats fishing, we are also starting to see the elusive Silver King on a more regular basis, and will be targeting them more seriously in the very near future. This years tarpon season is booking up very quickly, with most of May and June already taken. However due to the unseasonably warm temperatures, Tarpon season is very likely to be in full swing by early April. This means that all of you that have not booked early enough in May or June, should seriously consider April to meet your Tarpon fishing needs. If by chance I am booked for any dates you need, rest assured that I have a handpicked crew of very knowledgeable, highly experienced guides that will show you a great time on the beautiful waters of Charlotte Harbor.

Wishing you all tight lines and cold beer,
Capt. Rhett Morris
