there's a lot of factors here, I fish 2 or 3 times a week, and it's always changing. Pine Island Sound and Lighthouse Point are usually pretty productive when I fish them although most of my fishing is south of lee county. Have you gone myfwc.com and gotten coordinates for all the wrecks and reefs in your area? When the wind is blowing and water temp is in the 60's and the water is dirty then you're looking at a catfish trip. Once the wind lays down and the water warms and clears you'll see a big difference. If you are snapper fishing the wrecks, you need to use about 10' of 20lb fluorocarbon leader with a small jig head. Bury the jig head in some bait, white, greenies, shrimp, whatever and open your bail and let it drift down, once you feel the hit, close the bail and reel, works everytime.
