Warmer weather is helping our cause! Mix of fish this week, few a slot reds along with trout and ringtails for the frying pan. Some bigger reds in the mix as well! If the weather cooperates, the black sea bass have been biting as well!

Today we had to adjust plans a bit with rain in the forecast, so instead of running as far offshore as I wanted, we fished some productive, nearshore, live bottom.
The action stayed steady with plenty of black sea bass to keep rods bent, and we also put one red snapper in the boat. Water temperature was 54, still on the cooler side, but the fish were chewing.

Despite some really cold days here in Fernandina Beach, the speckled trout bite was pretty darn good. There were a few days when the temperature was not bad. Fishing in deeper water was the key to getting these fish. We had good catches with plenty of slot-size fish. We ended up fishing in eight to ten feet of water using an adjustable float rig and a live shrimp. With the cold weather behind us, the fishing will kick into high gear.

Water temp is hovering around 64F. The sheepshead bite and black sea bass is in full swing. We also ran into some bull reds near-shore.

Redfish and speckled sea trout have been active across inshore waters. Redfish are being found along grass lines, oyster bars, and creek mouths, especially on moving water. Live shrimp, mud minnows, and gold spoons have been producing consistent bites, with slot fish making up most of the action.
Speckled sea trout are holding in slightly deeper water near drop-offs and edges, feeding best during low-light periods. Soft plastic paddle tails, shrimp imitations, and suspending plugs worked slowly have been the top producers. Cooler mornings and steady tides have made for reliable fishing overall.

    The best in the business!! We had the best time with Captain Frank. He was so nice and patient with us. The weather wasn’t great but he adjusted the plan and we still caught lots of fish and had a great time. You would have a hard time finding a better guide in the area. He’s incredibly knowledgeable about fishing and I hope we have the chance to go with him again. We learned a lot from him and I would highly recommend him for anglers of any experience level.

    Had a great time with Captain Bill! The weather ended up keeping us inshore but he made sure to let us know ahead of time so we could stay flexible. He made sure to find us a few spots where we could get on some fish.

    Best fishing trip ever. Everything was taken care of. All we had to do was catch the fish! We got a little bit of a history tour as well. If we hit a spot with no luck, we kept moving until we did. My family will most definitely be back, hopefully in the fall.
