Had the pleasure to fish another slam tournament this past weekend with an old friend of mine. We set out that morning beginning our day throwing some artificial lures in and around creek mouths. We had success landing several decent trout on topwater. As the sun rose we busted out the cast net and rounded up a few dozen live finger mullet to use on carolina rigs in search of redfish and flounder. We immediately had success on the live mullet catching a nice slot red on our first cast with the mullet. We then had two of the three in our livewell so now it was time to go look for a Flounder. We managed to catch 7 flounder that day but couldnt find any giants. We were also able to catch several more big trout throughout the day on live mullet. Ended up weighing in a bag of 8lbs in the tournament which did not land us any prizes but we came home with plenty of delicious filets that were blackend the next day with friends and family.

In the mext two months the Flounder in Northeast Florida will start to move in to our coastal waters along the coast and in the St. Johns River. Ill be targeting them using a variety of artificial lires as well as live bait. We will focus on spots that hold a lot of structure and have a good flow current. I love fishing for flounder and the bottom bumping style that is used. Not only is it an awesome bite but they taste amazing blackened or fried. Book today to get out and chase some spring time flounder. As a bonus while targeting flounder we will be in areas where the highly prized pompano dwells as well. While we fish for flounder we will cast more specific baits in to see if any pomano are around and hungry.

On the last day of March we were gifted a beautiful morning of liggt winds and a low incomjng tide. We set out in search of crawling redfish on shallow flats and targeted them with artificial lures. We had quick success boating two redfish that we sight fished. The angler on todays trip made a great casts and was able to decieve the fish without spooking them. After the tide rose for a couple hours we switched up out tactics and set out to look for a variety of species. We fished live shrimp and fiddler crabs and were able to land several nice sheepshead, trout, and a few more small red fish.
