The sheepshead have been filling the cooler this week! They put up a great fight and are even better tasting.

The past week has been relatively slow inshore. But today it picked up with a mixed bag of Black Drum, Spanish Mackerel, Mangrove and Mutton Snapper, Jacks, and more. When it’s calm enough, we might even sneek outside the jetties to pursue spanish mackerel. Inshore fishing in this area isnt known for filling the cooler with edible fish, and many inshore captains wont even entertain the idea. But here at 1 Fathom Sportfishing, I am always up to the challenge of sending people home with bags of meat. Today we did so successfully.

After a historic freeze here on the treasure coast, the snook bite has been nothing but abysmal. But today, we saw our first signs of life as water temps get back to normal. I expect snook activity to continue to pick up in the next week!
