The crappie are getting ready to spawn here in Florida and the bite is going off. We are using minnows under slip corks and jigs in 4ft to 11ft of water around docks and grass.

It's that time of year, water temperatures are dropping, Speckled trout and pompano are moving in tight to bars and tross and getting fat for the cold winter.
You're favorite jig and cork combo. Whether it be a DOA, gulp, Salt water assassin (my personal favorite). Other things work good as well suspending bates like mirrodien, or your favorite top water.
Sara and her friends had a blast today.

With the storm and the full moon passing. The redfish bite has exploded.
When in the right spot it's not unheard-of to catch 20-100 fish. This is highly possible for the next two months.

Even with the crazy weather patterns, the fish are doing their thing and pretty much getting in their spring patterns. May is here and hopefully the weather will level out and get more
consistent.
Spotted trout can be caught on the flats in 3’-6’ of water. The normal popping cork, 3’ mono leader and 1/8 oz jig head will do the trick. I usually use a Sea Shad by Bass Assassin but any bait with a swim action will work. Green Moon and Stinky Pink are normally my go to colors. However, lately, due to all the wind, the water...

I usually use a Sea Shad by Bass Assassin but any bait with a swim action will work. Green Moon and Stinky Pink are normally my go to colors. However, lately, due to all the wind, the water has been a little stirred up. If the normal plastics are not getting it done, switch to Gulp Shrimp. When the water is dirty, the scent of the Gulp baits can improve the bite.
Redfish are being a little inconsistent but that is just due to the weather. With the weather getting more consistent, the redfish bite will improve. For artificial bait, you can’t beat a gold spoon. I like the Aqua Dream brand spoon but there are plenty of other brands that will do the job. Spinnerbaits and chatterbaits will be good choices too.
For live or cut bait, mullet is top on my list. My normal rig is a 3/8 or 1/2 ounce weight with a 4/0 or 5/0 circle hook. Mud minnows can be a game changer as well.
Snook are showing up but the season will close May 1st. Catch and release only May 1-August 31.
Get out on the water and have some fun with friends and family. Great friendships, connections and memories are made on the water.
