If your mobile I would go to Sanibel about 15 miles from Cape Coral.The fishing is a lot better right off the beaches. Head to where the lighthouse is. Good Luck

Just like the title says, anyone been out there lately? It has been pretty dead out there the last few times I went by.

Last post

From talking to the regulars, the catch has been very scarce... And just too hot for no fish.

Thanks for the great report! I was there a couple of weeks ago, and all I caught were Hardhead Cats, and White Suckerfish using the same bait. Looks like I need to go back. Thanks again.
