Hello Everyone. I hope you are having a good winter. I've been getting a lot calls from you all up north digging out and finding a way to contact me for a fishing trip. I'd get outta there too! We've had some great days between the fronts moving through so here is the latest...
As most of you know, our main target this time of year is the Spotted Sea Trout. They began to move in a few weeks ago and have been eating live shrimp very well. They like jerkworms also, but I've mostly been using the larger shrimp, freelined on the bottom around our spoil islands for the best results. It takes some patience at times and a higher tide, but when they go off, it is great! A recent trip proved this point. After fishing a couple of spots with a little success, we moved to an island where the tide was moving well. Every bait got a fish. It was chaos for 45 minutes. The weather was warm, the sun was breaking through the clouds and the winds were light. All the right conditions helped.
Redfishing has been steady with the right tide. Most of the catches have been undersized fish, but there are some larger fish in the mix. Again, I have used live shrimp laid on the bottom under docks and oyster bars at high tides. Sometimes I'll pinch off the tail to get some scent in the water. That really helps get the bite going! Often, we will get Sheepshead on the line. They are an excellent fish for the table, and no not the same as the freshwater species, despised by many!
That is what's going on out here. The next few weeks will have some ups and downs for weather, hopefully ups! Soon we'll be turning the corner and heading towards some springlike days! Let's get your trip booked soon so you can have a relaxing day on the water and forget about the real world for a bit. Call or e-mail now, 727-365-7560. See ya soon...
