Backwater fishing for snook always great areas to locate fish as water temperatures are typically warmer. Mangrove shorelines, muddy bottoms snook flock to these zones, live baits, small jigs and twitch baits all tactics to get the strike. Anglers can also target sea walls, docks and bridges working the bottom thoroughly with jigs and live baits dropped to the bottom.
Inlets and channels are holding tarpon on both sides of the tides. Live baits and jigs entice the tarpon to strike. Cleaner water on the high tide causes the tarpon to be finicky at times. Juvenile tarpon prevalent in the backwaters along mangrove shorelines, strike live baits and twitch baits worked slow near pot holes drop offs.
Flats, rock piles, and inshore wrecks great areas to target snapper, jacks, blue runners, drum and many other species. Shrimp and jigs both create rod bending action for anglers.
Well that is the fishing report for the past week, hope you all enjoyed. Remember you can’t catch them from the couch, so get out there and get hooked up. Tight Lines!

Channels and backwaters held plenty of tarpon, the bigger Tarpon finicky at times allowed anglers to witness tarpon temperament. Primarily due to the full moon the bite was hit and miss but the juvenile tarpon do have the same mind set as bigger fish at times, they like to eat if baits is around. Live baits and Rapala twitch baits.
Snook fishing was awesome the past week lots of small fish but all four species of snook were caught. Docks also held schooling fish, live baits and jigs worked around pilings got the strike. Fly fishing for snook for multiple days with anglers made for lots of surface strikes and great takes next to the boat.
Rock piles and wrecks held plenty of snapper, drum and schools of jacks, bluefish, lady fish and runners. Jigs and shrimp worked near the bottom got hit almost every drop, creating bent rod and happy anglers.
Well that is the fishing report for the past week, hope you all enjoyed. Remember you can’t catch them from the couch, so get out there and get hooked up. Tight Lines!

The past week brought extremely cold air to the south Florida area. Snook fishing slowed down a bit as water temperatures plummeted. Snook were being caught, along seawalls, docks, channels and on mud flats. Live shrimp and DOA 3” shrimp great baits to get the strike.
Big schools of jack’s presented non stop action for anglers. DOA C.A.L. 3” shad tail, live baits and Rapala skitter walks all enticed jacks to strike. Bluefish, mackerel, drum, ladyfish, and snappers, also striking baits, creating rod bending action for anglers.
Tarpon fishing was great before the front, as the front pushed through the tarpon locked down in deep cuts and channels. Once in a while, you would get a strike using a live shrimp or a Doa Terror Eyz.
Well that is a fishing report for the past week. Hope you all enjoyed. Remember you cannot catch them from the couch, so get out there and get hooked up. Tight Lines!

Snook are being found in deep holes and along docks and sea walls. Live baits and DOA C.A.L. 3” shad tail best baits to get the strike. Fat snook and tarpon snook have been mixed together, adding for a mixed bag for anglers.
The channel’s and deep holes have been areas to target schooling jacks ranging in size from 5 to 10 pounds. The jacks are aggressive striking Rapala skitter walks, creating awesome surface strikes. Mixed in with the jacks are croaker, drum, mackerel and ladyfish.
