[quote=st468;31882349]The water clarity has improved greatly in the last couple weeks, and so has the fishing (at least for us).

Picnic Island- better but not quite there yet. Yacht Club beach- much better, more like iced tea now, rather than coffee. Our canal (San Carlos, a few blocks from the Cape Coral Pkwy/Santa Barbara intersection), can see down about 3 feet, 6-8 feet is what we usually observe in winter.

The salt water is moving back in finally- we caught tons of game fish in the canal even. Tons of keeper size snappers, many jacks, some quite big, sheeps head, I even caught a 3 1/2 foot tarpon off the dock. Blue crabs galore- we are getting more than we know what to do with in the single crab pot that I put out in 10' of water off the dock. We got over 30 in one 48 hour soak using chicken thighs as bait.

The waters in the Cape Coral/ Ft Myers area have cleared up significantly since it has stopped raining. It will soon be back to normal but it will take some time...temps have dropped and the weather has become lovely.....

Kev,
Did you really need to post that picture? Water looks great. Can't wait to go down in January.
Stuck in Jersey for now.

You may have hooked the bottom, or you may be protecting a prime fishing spot. I don't see anything hooked on your shorts!!!!
