With water temps back up into the 60's fish are turning in the feed bag once again . Finding big schools of redfish in the intracoastal waterway that can be targeted with both artificial and live bait . Black drum are showing up in good number with some being over 20 lbs . Trout are still feeding well on the tops and bottoms of the tide . Sheepshead have been a good bet around structure and jetties as well.

The fishing has been good nice seabass, beeliners and some nice triggerfish. Even had a nice 28 inch gag grouper and of course they are closed right now. Weather just won't cooperate for much offshore fishing right now. Made a couple of trips recently and one was real good the other got shortened due to 3 cases of the sea flu.

Week of 1/15 has been a great one. Lots of black seabass and ringtail porgies on the 4 hour trips. Recently the shallow triggers and beeliners haven't been cooperating but nothing to be mad about as Black Sea bass offer world class eating!
For the 6/8 hour offshore trips cobia fishing was world class with one 6 hour trip boasting double digit fish including a tagged 30+ pounder. The fish was originally caught in South Carolina at 32" overall in 2019 and recaptured 1200 days and nearly 300 miles away at 42" fork length.

Inshore the fish have been steady with some days better than others. On the low tide mid day trips sightfishing has been the name of the game. With a low tide in the morning targeting holes has been the money.
Winter fishing is in full swing! Let's goooo fishin!

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.

Inshore fishing has been awesome in the skiff. With cooling water fish have been stacked up in their usual winter time haunts. Black drum now moving with the schools of reds too for some bonus catches. Offshore black seabass fishing is off the chain on the short 4/6 hour trips. Mixed with vermillion snapper and triggerfish. On the extended 10/12 hour trips trigger fish is the name of the game for meat haul. If the goal is hero or 0 lots of big wahoos have been hitting the deck with the cold weather. As always plenty of mutton snappers and...

Fishing bite has been great with water temps cooling off. There's been plenty of sheepshead, redfish, trout, and black drum around

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 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...

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
