Capt.Frank here with our Northeast Florida first weekend in February Fishing Report. Weather continues to be a challenge. Cold front after cold front has brought low temperatures and high winds to the area. Wild changes in barometric pressure has affected fishing. Nonetheless, on fishable days, there are fish to be caught. Inshore, the speckled seatrout bite has been pretty consistent with good catches of legal trout and some lower slot redfish. Slow trolling with grubs near the bottom is a good way to locate the schools. Once found, traditional float rigs with live shrimp will produce numbers. Sheepshead fishing has...

Capt.Frank here with our Northeast Florida first weekend in February Fishing Report. Weather continues to be a challenge. Cold front after cold front has brought low temperatures and high winds to the area. Wild changes in barometric pressure has affected fishing. Nonetheless, on fishable days, there are fish to be caught. Inshore, the speckled seatrout bite has been pretty consistent with good catches of legal trout and some lower slot redfish. Slow trolling with grubs near the bottom is a good way to locate the schools. Once found, traditional float rigs with live shrimp will produce numbers. Sheepshead fishing has been generally good with some really good days and some slower days. But some quality fish are being caught. When weather permits, the black seabass bite has been consistent - if you can get your baits past the red snapper. Further offshore, trigger fish have been good with some 5 pound plus fish being caught. Wahoo fishing has been tough this winter because of the weather. On the fishable days, boats are often encountering cold dirty water. But, there's lots of bait and some nice wahoo in excess of 100 pounds have been caught. Bottom line is - go when you can go and you may be rewarded. Hopefully, calmer weather is around the corner.

Inshore speckled seatrout has been good. Sheepshead has slowed. Offshore, black sea bass has been good when boats can get out…

They are fired up on the wrecks with plenty of beeliners and triggers to mix in w them. Still seeing plenty of amberjacks as well. Inshore the sheepshead fishing is as good as it gets, with awesome numbers of trout and mangrove snappers.

We had our two-day Atlantic Red Snapper Season a few weeks ago. The first day we caught 11 in 30 minutes at one spot and kept 3- our 1 fish per person limit- and were done by 7:30. The second day we caught 10 in an hour and fifteen minutes in 3 spots and kept 4, done by 8. Kingfishing has been good. Clients caught this one Saturday. Tarpon are on the beach and at the jetties. Not only is the weather hot, but the fishing is hot.

If the interest isn't offshore the nearshore fishing for red snappers, bonita and sharks has been off the chain!
Inshore things are starting to get scrappy with the warming water. But keeping a rod bent on oversized redfish, trout, jacks, ladyfish and mangrove snapper has proved somewhat easy. But not every spot has been a good one.

The fishing has been good both bottom and trolling. There is still good catches of beeliners, very few seabass and some triggerfish. The kingfish are showing up again with some blackfin tuna and cobia.

They don't call it MAYport for no reason!
Fishing the last few weeks has been off the chain. From inshore to offshore there really isn't anything that isn't biting. Playing the tide weather has been determining the target!
