I spoke with Pat at the Dunedin Fishing Center yesterday. He was telling me that anglers fishing the grass flats of St. Joseph Sound are catching limits of large trout. Live shrimp either free lined or suspended under a rattling float will catch the most fish, but are hard to find right now. Pinfish, and whitebait are the best alternative live baits. Gulp Shrimp in the New Penny or Nuclear Chicken colors and the D.O.A. Deadly Combo, or CAL jigs tipped with shrimp will also put trout in the cooler. Quite a few redfish are being caught on the back side of Honeymoon Island and Caladesi Island. Shrimp or pinfish cast right next to the mangroves are getting the most strikes. Snook are starting to move out of the backwater creeks and bays. Live bait and top water plugs fished around dock lites at night will be the most productive. Anglers wading the North side of the Dunedin Causeway, between the bridges, are catching good numbers of trout. Sheepshead are being caught around the pylons of the bridges. Shrimp and fiddler crabs are the best bait. For more information contact;
