Jacksonville

Yesterday I spoke with Capt. Scott Guthrie at Atlantic Coast Marine in Jacksonville. He was telling me that the redfish are schooling in deeper water on low tides. These Fish spook easily and are hard to catch. There are a lot of small speckled trout being caught. Bigger trout can be caught in deeper water. Trout season opens tomorrow in the N.E. and N.W. areas of the state. There are also a lot of sheepshead being caught at the jetty. Offshore, seabass and wahoo are biting well, 10-12 miles out, in 100ft. of water. Cigar minnows and squid are the best baits. Capt. Guthrie was telling me that he is also catching a lot of fish on the new " Fish Bites " bait. I had to search the web to find information on this product. There web site says that the launch date for " Fish Bites " is March 1. Go to www.fishbites.com for more information. To hear more great fishing reports from Capt. Scott Guthrie and other top guides from around Florida, check out the " Chevy Florida Fishing Report " on Sun Sports/FSN Florida.
