The cooler weather Mix of fish
The cooler weather Mix of fish
Jan 21, 2025 Fernandina Beach
The cooler weather is the best time of year to catch Speckled Seatrout. Redfish, sheepshead and blackdrum (puppy drum) are plentiful as well! You wont see as many charter Captains with alot of bookings because it is the slow seasonโ€ฆ however it is my Favorite time to go fishing with my family and friends as well as a few fishing charters and a handfull of regular Clients! I personally like to fish for Trout with an artificial lure and use the trolling motor to keep the boat moving and cast! Covering alot of ground and always introducing the lire to a fish that hasnโ€™t seen it yet! I always feel like once you cast in the same spot a dozen time whatever is there youd have cuaght on the first few cast! If heโ€™s there heโ€™s gonna EAT IT!? (i call everthing oit there โ€œheโ€?)

The Specked Trout Season
The Specked Trout Season
Aug 10, 2022 Fernandina Beach
Speckled trout, is a common estuarine fish found in the southern United States along coasts of Gulf of Mexico and the coastal Atlantic Ocean from Maryland to Florida. While most of these fish are caught on shallow, grassy flats, spotted seatrout reside in virtually any inshore waters, from the surf of outside islands to far up coastal rivers, where they often come for shelter during cold weather. Contrary to its name, the spotted seatrout is not a member of the trout family (Salmonidae), but of the drum family (Sciaenidae). It is popular for recreational fishing. Adults reach 19-37 inches in length and 3-17 pounds in weight.
