Big snook, redfish, sharks, and tarpon highlight the current fishing report. As we get into middle April, the fishing has been heating up weekly and becoming outstanding. With the water finally back firmly in the 70s and close to 80 degrees, the bait is plentiful. Lots of quality mangrove snapper, big jack crevalle, and sheepshead are also bring smiles, and pulling drags!
With plentiful bait comes big snook. We are hooking at least one really big fish on every trip, and on most trips we are hammering the mid size, and smaller snook. to put it into perspective, in terms...

With plentiful bait comes big snook. We are hooking at least one really big fish on every trip, and on most trips we are hammering the mid size, and smaller snook. to put it into perspective, in terms of freshwater fishing back home for many folks, its like catching a dozen 2 – 3 pound bass or walleye, that fight twice as hard, with the opportunity to catch a huge one.
The big redfish have also been gobbling up bait bending rods, and ripping drags right along with the snook. We haven’t been doing anything specific for the redfish, they are just on the move with the warming water and the oncoming burst of life the water brings every spring and early summer. This time of year, the big reds seem to be in the same spots as the big snook, which adds to the intrigue when you see a huge boil and hear that drag start squealing.

The fishing has been phenomenal lately, getting into our spring trends with higher tides and strong bite inshore. Snook, redfish, trout and tarpon have been the big targets along with Spanish Mackerel, Jack Crevalle, mangrove snapper and others. White bait is prevalent throughout the sound and that's what these predatory fish love to eat. Plenty of fun fights everyday fishing bar lines, grass flats and mangrove islands.
