Sheephead bite is still strong all over port orange and ponce. Use A jighead with a fiddler crab or a fish finder rig with fresh shrimp. Larger Snook and reds are in the shallows, but with the front coming at the end of the week, it will dirty the water and make it hard to find and catch them. I've been using medium to large shrimp and 3" mud minnows and finger mullet on a 1/8 oz jighead or just free lining them. Night fishing has been great for trout and smaller snook along the docks free lining live shrimp and mullet.

ey guys. Well, 2022 is in the books and 2023 is starting off pretty good. It has warmed back up since Christmas but the reds are still chewing. You can find them in the creek holes still but if you're looking to get on a few upper slot fish the flats are the place to be. They are schooled up nicely and the water is clear. As long as the wind isn't blowing too hard you can get up on them fairly easy.
The flounder bite has been better but you can still pick a few here and there in the creeks and around the oysters.
Sheepshead and black drum are holding good in the creeks and the trout are holding in the creek holes and creek mouths at lower tides. Mud minnows have been the bait of choice for most but shrimp will be your go to for the sheep's and drum.

The redfish and flounder bite have been consistent. We’re still targeting them in creek holes and creek mouths on mudminnows or live shrimp with a 1/4oz jighead. Don’t shy away from using a popping cork with at least a 18" leader and 1/0 circle hook. The trout bite has been...

The trout bite has been
good at times when water temps go down. Look for temps below 70 with good moving water for the best results using the same bait for flounder and reds.
A bycatch of sheepshead and black drum will round out a successful day and just for fun throw in some ladyfish and blues and you’ll put a smile on some faces.
Merry Christmas

    Captain Aaron was fantastic ! The trip was a blast - our sons had the time of their life … caught redfish , whiting , sheepshead , lady fish , mangrove snappers and even a 50 pound bull shark … he was great with our younger sons who admittedly can be a handful !! Highly recommend!
