The spring bite is in full swing and the days of catching big powerful predators is back. Snook trout and redfish have been off the charts. At the same time tarpon are showing up in full force from their winter hiatus. Bait fish have been pretty easy to come by most mornings and these fish are ready and willing to eat every bait you put in their vicinity.

The cobia are starting to move into the bay pretty thick! And they are eating white bait and pretty much any other baits if they are hungry enough! Trout bite continues to stay consistent with many gator trout and keeper's being put into boat! And they are eating shrimp, pinfish and white bait in the flats! The night time gag grouper bite has been no stop and they are eating anything we throw at them! To many to count and we are getting them in all depths in the bay and bridges. Mackerel bite has been on fire with xxl macs eating all the white baits we throw at them at any depths! Snook action at night time and day time has been super consistent and they are eating jigs and live bait! Catching them in flats and on bridges.
