The overslot redfish bite has been strong this week around Boca Grande, Florida. We’re seeing larger fish positioned along deeper mangrove edges, oyster bars, and transition zones with good tidal flow. The key has been fishing the moving water — especially the last of the outgoing and early incoming tide. Most of these overslot reds are staging just outside the shallows, sliding up to feed and then dropping back into slightly deeper water. Live bait has been the most consistent producer, though well-presented artificials are getting quality eats when conditions allow. These are mature, powerful fish that require steady pressure and patience. We’ve been taking our time on the fights, keeping angles right, and getting them boatside healthy and strong. If you’re looking to target trophy-class redfish on an inshore charter out of Boca Grande, this is a solid window. Conditions are lining up, bait is present, and the bigger fish are cooperating. Target Species: • Overslot Redfish • Snook • Speckled Trout Prime dates are starting to book up as the bite continues to stay consistent.
