Trip Summary
Got out to the patches today. Very nice weather since the last front came through jts stayed chilly but the winds have been moderate and out of the north. So just perfect for getting out front. The mackerels were biting today, lots of ceros which were welcome for table fare. We also had a mix of snappers, yellow jacks, muttons, and more. Bait has been around some days more of a grind than others, but as we get more into spring itll get more helpful to have. Im hoping we will start getting into tarpon soon its still just a tad chilly for consistent fishing for them but maybe next week. It should be good later in the season though as the tarpon have somewhat been held off by the cold.
