As we get into our spring time fishing patterns, we continue catching plenty of trout, quality redfish, and snook more often as a the water warms up. Some kingfish, Spanish mackerel, and Bonita have been near shore, but that has been limited due to the heavy winds we’ve had this spring. A few have started to show up, but we haven’t spent the time to fish for them yet. The peak of their migration is just a few weeks away.

Through the next few months as things begin to warm the fishing will continue to get better. February, March, and into April the sheepshead fishing will be great as they get ready to spawn during those months. Pompano should start to show up as well in March and into April, using shrimp and pompano jigs to catch them. Last March we had a great kingfish season, when a giant school of them were just offshore out of Clearwater Pass. The redfishing has been good throughout the winter and we should start to see some larger schools show up on the flats soon as the temperatures increase. The snook have been a little tougher to find as water temps have fluctuated a lot, but as more consistent weather come the snook fishing should be good throughout spring into the summertime. The seatrout fishing has been great this winter, some days landing over 30 fish in one spot using artificial lures. Looking forward to take you out on your next fishing adventure.
