With winter in full effect colder water temperatures have the Trout and sheepshead fired up. We have been hitting our limit on these species each trip, catching large trout on almost every cast with artificial lures. Lots of sheepshead being caught on live fiddler crabs. both trout and sheepshead are great eating. come out cast a line and catch yourself some dinner. we will fillet your catch at the end of the charter!
