Well spring is working it's way here. The weather is warming up and the fishing is heating up with it. Inshore the sheepshead bite is still pretty hot on the jetties and bridge pilings. Drop a shrimp or a fiddler on a jig and hold on. Nearshore Bonita schools are boiling the waters already. Look for birds working and throw a gotcha plug into the water and hold on for a great fight. If targeting triggerfish and snapper, they are already schooled up on any bottom structure you can find. Drop a chicken rig with some cut squid, cigar minnow, or any other cut bait and you should get bit pretty quick. With the red tide affecting our southern waters, Pensacola may be a place to go. So far we have had not been impacted and our fishery is solid and looking good for the season.

Redfish and Sheepshead are really starting to show up good. A few Pompano are also in the mix from time to time. Springtime fishing is my absolute favorite time of year to go! Never know what you'll reel in until it's in the net!

First trip of the year was a success! Had the pleasure of taking this family from Minnesota offshore this week. Found some nice Beeliners and caught and release over 40 red snapper. Weather is warming up so let’s get out on the water and have some fun.

Fishing has been good for this time of year. Sheepshead, White Sea trout and bull reds. Weather has been hit and miss to get into the Gulf, but we can go inshore as well.
