The last week was challenging yet rewarding. While there were not any “gimmie” days with a lot of effort and some brain power we ended up putting some nice boxes of fish together with a pile of trophy black drum up to 50 pounds.
Even saw our first kingfish and Mahi of the year. I expect summer fishing to come early after next weeks blow. Meaning kings, cobia and plenty of other tasty critters.
While inshore has been booking hot, day by day I can feel it getting less quality bites and more “junk fish” while great to bend a rod I don’t expect to see full fish boxes of great eating.
Spanish mackerel should be showing any day providing great action for kids and family trips. But also a great fall back if the sheepshead trout or redfish are uncooperative.
Skiff trips have been heating up as well focused around the low tide as usual. Redfish bite was very very slow a week or so ago but is recovering nicely.

Weather permitting the bottom fishing has been good seabass, triggerfish, beeliners and the cobia are starting to show up. Pogies are on the beach so the kingfish should show up soon. Inshore hfishing for reds,trout,sheepshead and black drum is good too.

Bite continues to heat up with climbing water temps. Flounder bite has been pretty consistent with decent fish in the 2-3lb range. Some triple tails are showing up in the river. Big, oversized redfish and some larger black drum have also been showing up regularly in good numbers.
