Father's Day in Matlacha Florida

The best way to experience the Matlacha and Pine Island area, is to get out on the water. Yesterday was Father's Day. A pretty quiet day for Real Estate, so we set out on the waters of Matlacha Pass for a group cook out on Cayo Costa. Cayo Costa is one of the many islands that are a short ride away by boat. Pristine beaches are covered with interesting shells and visited by many beautiful birds. The water is that amzing bue green color and is teaming with fish.
Swimming along the shore line, you find yourself intruding on a school of minnows as they scurry past. Sometines they are followed by some snook, or even a small shark. On the Gulf Side, especially now that the Tarpon are in the Boca Grande and North Captiva pass, there can be some much bigger fish moving by. We are all enjoying the warm water.
