March has arrived and the weather has been spectacular. Warm weather days, light winds perfect weather for fishing.
Snook fishing has been fantastic targeting mangrove, shoreline and docks using DOA C.A.L. 3" shad tail, flies and live bait. Anglers have been catching all four species of snook the past week. Many of the days anglers could sight fish the snook, making for exciting takes.

The tarpon fishing is adding fun in the sun for anglers. Anglers are bowing down to the king. Live baits and DOA Terror Eyz have been the bait of choice for the silver king. Schools of tarpon are seen rolling on the surface making anglers happy as they cast in their vicinity.
Channel edges and holes have been holding a plethora of species. Jacks have been the highly prized catch, due to their drag screaming runs and relentless fight. Jigs and top water plugs have been great tactics for the jacks. Snapper, drum, mackerel are also in the mix.
Well that is the fishing report for the past week, hope you all enjoyed. Remember you can’t catch them from the couch, so get out there and get hooked up. Tight Lines!

Move over leprechauns, I’m leading anglers to the pot of gold, well silver that is. Snook and tarpon! March has offered great weather and fishing.
Green mangroves offer plenty of action for snook, ambushing waiting in the shadows, linesiders are striking Rapala twitch baits and live baits. Low light hours offer great surface strikes and night fishing offers great sight fishing, using flies and Rapala twitch baits.
Silver kings continue shine, schooling fish are present around shorelines and channels. Live baits and DOA Terror Eyz great baits to get the drag screaming. Juvenile tarpon are abundant around dock lights making...

Silver kings continue shine, schooling fish are present around shorelines and channels. Live baits and DOA Terror Eyz great baits to get the drag screaming. Juvenile tarpon are abundant around dock lights making for excellent sight fishing and acrobatic hook ups.
Those looking for slow pace fishing rock piles are holding an abundance of species, snapper, jacks, drum, barracuda and many others. Live baits, shrimp and jigs will get the rod bent.

Snook are on the tear, striking live baits, flies and DOA C.A.L. 3” shad tail. Structures, shorelines and channels have been teaming with snook. Snook are active all through the day as well...

For those who like to target other species, jacks are always up for the fight. Providing extreme drag screaming runs, jacks will devour live baits and Rapala skitter walks.
Well that is the report for the past week hope you all enjoyed. Remember you can’t catch them from the couch, so get out there and get hooked up. Tight Lines!

Whirlwind! Everyday brought different direction of winds the past week. The warmer waters helped keep the fishing consistent.
Snook fishing provided anglers steady action, wether live baiting or using Rapala twitch baits both created drag screaming action. Mangrove shorelines, docks and seawalls great areas to find the linesiders. The past week provided multiple species of snook for anglers common and fat snook most prevalent.
The channels and drop offs have provided steady action for a wide variety of species. Jacks, mackerel, snapper, ladyfish, snook, drum and many other fish being caught. Shrimp, jigs and top water Rapala skitter walks all...

The channels and drop offs have provided steady action for a wide variety of species. Jacks, mackerel, snapper, ladyfish, snook, drum and many other fish being caught. Shrimp, jigs and top water Rapala skitter walks all methods to entice strikes. Anglers had great numbers of fish during outings, many trips averaged 8 or more different species. Always fun when you never know what’s going to strike on the other end of the line.
Well that is the fishing report for the past week hope you all enjoyed. Remember you can’t catch them from the couch, so get out there and get hooked up. Tight Lines!
