Fishing this week has been good targeting redfish and trout using Berkeley gulp on a jighead below a popping cork and gold spoons. Targeting sand holes on the grass flats and edges in the two to three foot range has been producing target species plus small sharks, bluefish, sea bass and other hard pulling fish. Finding trout back up in the shallows is a good sign fall is coming. The best fishing of the year is coming up in the next couple of months!

March is the month here in carrabelle when the fishing starts to get going, good catches of trout and redfish, the trout have been a bit scattered, but many good sized fish caught, many oversized released. Covering the flats casting soft plastic paddle tails below corks has been effective. Chartreuse and electric chicken colors are my favorite. Looking for mullet activity on the flats is a good indicator for reds. Ran into some Spanish mackerel, always fun on light tackle. Lots of dolphin and sea turtles around, from the water is the best view of carrabelle and the forgotten coast!

4 hour charter this morning, was a really good bite, lots of trout action. Got a limit of trout pretty quick, then went after reds. Couple of drifts across the flats produced 6 reds. Everything was caught on popping corks and jigs. Definitely feels like fall with cool mornings and good fishing
