I live in Port Charlotte, FL on a canal with access to the Myakka River near El Jobean, FL and Charlotte Harbor. I own a boat and I love to fish. I'm new to Florida so I'm learning a new kind of fishing and I thought a record of fish caught, weather, tides, etc. for each trip would help me to learn quicker. That record is what you'll find in my blog which I post as soon as I possibly can so check before you're going out, my success or failure might help make your trip more productive.

Fish Caught: Snook, Jack

High Tide: 4:00 PM 1.2 FT
Low Tide: 8:30 AM -0.5 FT
Wind: 5-10 NE
Air Temp: 55/87
Water Temp: 72 Clarity: clear

Left the dock about 11:00 AM. First stop was the El Jobean bridge. There were a bunch of boats anchored but everyone looked like they'd been there a while with no action.

My first cast with a Gulp Swimming Mullet hooked a 22" Snook. About 10 casts or so later I got a huge Jack. What a battle.

After about 1/2 hour at the bridge we moved on to the bays behind Hog Island. Absolutely no fish not even a single bite. I fished the Gulp Swimming Mullet the entire time. We did see some jacks busting the shore but by the time we got there they had moved on.

We did see some wild life, a wild hog swimming way back in the mangroves (but only 20 ft from our boat) and a racoon marching along the shoreline of one of the canals of Tippecanoe Bay. If you ever get back there watch out for the sunk boats, I assume from Hurricane Charley, we saw two.
