Trip Summary

We had a pretty severe and long cold front push through the Gulf Coast and it has stacked the fish up heavily in warmer areas. As the environment warms up, the fishing will be fantastic and stay steady until the next cold front comes through. Right now you can expect to catch big Sheepshead, Trout, Redfish and occasionally Black Drum. For tackle, we’re using spinning rod and reels with a jighead and for bait we’re using shrimp. This time of year is a lot of fun, we’ll be fishing back in creeks away from humans and being back in the creeks is an adventure itself. Lots of wildlife, and lots of really cool sights to see.

As the water temperatures cool down, the Sheepshead, Redfish and Trout have been pushing into creeks and areas that have warmer water. A lot of sheepshead have been caught on oyster bars with moving water, and Redfish have been schooled up with the Mullet on flats, deeper water areas, and creeks. Trout have been plentiful and with sizes ranging, the smaller Trout have been more aggressive but patience and persistence brings in the bigger trout after weeding through ghe smaller ones. Lures are producing some nice fish and we’re also catching fish on live bait as well. The weather has been fantastic and fishing continues to be great this time of year. Look forward to seeing y’all on the water. Captain Aaron

We’re also catching big Trout on lures and live baits on grass flats and deeper areas. Snook season has opened and the Snook fishing has been good and continues to get better as the weather warms. We’re catching fish of all species on both artificial and live bait. Looking forward to seeing yall out on the water. Tight lines !
