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

Fishing out of carrabelle has been good after a stormy winter and spring. For trout targeting the grass flats and sandy pot holes with popping corks and berkley gulp shrimp on a jig head has been the go to set up. When the weather cooperates sight fishing redfish on the shallow grass flats and beaches has been good. Otherwise blind casting likely areas with soft plastic flukes on a jighead, aqua dream gold spoons and rapala subwalks/twitch baits will do the trick. Early morning topwater bite is always an exciting way to hook up, zara spooks in bone are my favorite, but red and white and chartresuse and white work just as well. If you have never learned how to "walk the dog" with a suface lure, do so, its a blast watching a big trout or redfish blow up on your lure.
