Sheepshead said bite has been phenomenal using live shrimp and fiddler crabs pitching on mangroves and oyster bars in 2 to 4 ft of water higher tides have been better than low tides especially midday.

Finished off the 2024 year with some beautiful red snapper days as well as started off with some nice red grouper to open the year. A couple jumbo sized Goliaths joined the party as well. Inshore, the trout bite has been consistent but most of the trout are on the small side. Picking away at mangroves, sheepshead's and grunts on the nearshore trips.

The winter feels are here in Southwest Florida. We may not be in full blown cold season but it feels like it some days. Early cold fronts that have not been common the past several years, extreme low winter type tides and of course our northern visitors have made their appearance. The other, more notable signs of winter fishing is the invasion of big sheepshead in to our inshore waters. When the temps drop these delicious fish make their way inshore to engage their annual spawning. Sheepshead are big, hardy, tasty and strong fighting fish that feed exclusively on crustaceans...
