Trip Summary

With air and water temperatures slowly dropping, the fishing has been great. During these months sight fishing is phenomenal with the lower tides. Redfish are the main target, while snook can be found as well. We will see less and less snook as we move into the peak of winter and cold fronts become stronger and more consistent. Depending on the area we are fishing and the weather conditions, anglers can also expect to see black drum, sheepshead, speckled trout, and cobia. All trips are focused on using artificial lures and fly fishing. - Capt. JT
