Coyote Catch Report (1) - Holiday

Spring is here! The Redfish are chewing, the Trout are hammering lures, and the Snook are pushing out of the creeks are ready to start chewing again. Spring is a fantastic time of year to get out on the boat in weather that isnt as hot as summer and also has less humidity. Fishing in spring time is a great season to catch some big ones! Water is warming up again and the fish are gonna be on the move looking for bait to eat.

As we get into the cooler months, fish will be pushing into creeks, canals, and areas that have warmer water. Shrimp will start to become more of a preferred bait instead of the lively greenbacks. When fishing these areas its important to let the bait sit, as fish will become lethargic as the temperatures dip, so that means the fish arent going to chase bait around. Patience, and a good cast will be the key to success. Redfish have been thick in numbers, but not many fish above the cookie cutter size. Lots of big Trout have been caught, on both artificials and live bait. The Flounder bite continues to improve , and we’ve seen some good numbers recently. Snook are in schools in the warmer areas and will bite on the warmer days, if its a day after a cold front they’ll slow down for a while until the weather warms again. I have some days available if youre looking to get out there and catch some fish.

As the water temperatures cool down, the Sheepshead, Redfish and Trout have been pushing into creeks and areas that have warmer water. A lot of sheepshead have been caught on oyster bars with moving water, and Redfish have been schooled up with the Mullet on flats, deeper water areas, and creeks. Trout have been plentiful and with sizes ranging, the smaller Trout have been more aggressive but patience and persistence brings in the bigger trout after weeding through ghe smaller ones. Lures are producing some nice fish and we’re also catching fish on live bait as well. The weather has been fantastic and fishing continues to be great this time of year. Look forward to seeing y’all on the water. Captain Aaron
