Trip Summary

The longest days of the year just occurred over the past weekend. Lots of sun and flat calm waters are starting to become a regular occurrence. We had beautiful conditions on this trip and decided to start the day fishing a couple of creeks at high tide. After spending an hour or so hunting for redfish we finally broke the ice and had a fish tight on the rod. However, it wasnt a redfish but instead we had a nice flounder that quickly made its way to the cooler. After the flounder we switched gears and decided to double down and chase flounder for the rest of the trip. We used both live mullet and mud minnows as well as artificial lures to land our 7 keeper flounder. We threw back several other flounder that were short of the 14” minimum. Along with the Flounder we were able to catch several spanish mackerel that are planned to made into smoked fish dip.

Late February update
Late February update
February 24, 2026
Late February fishing has consisted of redfish and sheepshead here in Northeast Florida. The weather has been all over the place with days in the 80s and then a freeze warning just days later. This has made fishing more difficult but we still are seeing some quality fish being caught. Although we may not be catching the numbers of fish we are still seeing great quality fish. Omce the weather straightens out and gets more consistent the fishing should improve and return to a normal pattern.

On our afternoon trip we fished the last bit of outgoing tide and the first of the incoming. We ran up into a shallow creek that gave us an opportunity to fish for redfish, trout, and flounder. As usual we used a mix live, cut, and artificial baits to catch our targeted species. It was a warmer day than it has been making the fish and bait a bit more active.

It is now late January and winter is definitely making its presence known. We left the dock at 8am and had temperatures in the mid to upper 30s. Although it was chilly while the boat was moving ,the day was gorgeous when we stopped to fish. We found plenty of clean water working in and out of creeks but we struggled to find fish willing to eat. Once the tide shifted and started to come back in the fish turmed on. We were able to land a handful of trout and redfish in short order but had to work hard to find the fish that wanted to cooperate.
