It never fails. February is the month to catch big trout when fishing near Captiva Island in Pine Island Sound. Jud Hayes of Gainesville, Florida proved it for us as he brought in several big sea trout while fishing from a rental skiff out of Jensen's Twin Palm Resort and Marina.

Jud used several methods to catch fish which included live shrimp and small pinfish rigged with a popping cork and also artificial baits. If you would like to plan your own fishing trip while visiting southwest Florida you may contact Jensen's Marina at 239-472-5800.
