If you haven’t felt it yet, Spring is in the air and now is the time to get out and enjoy it. The weather has been phenomenal mid-March and so has the fishing. Early in the morning on the incoming tide, Captain Jay has been focused on docks and pilings with free-lined or jigged shrimp tight to the structure - crushing slot-sized Redfish and Sheepshead. 30 or more fish in an outing has been a daily occurrence on light tackle. Although after a few Snook break-offs this week, it is time to beef up the tackle and leaders for the Linesiders. Just remember to handle these fish carefully, as the season is still closed from two consecutive years of cold winters. In the afternoons, Captain Jay has been mixing it up, targeting Spanish Mackerel near the Skyway, Black Drum off Pinellas Point, and Trout on the Ft DeSoto flats. Artificials on these fish have been a lot of fun; however with white bait showing up, expect the fish to become a bit more finicky.
