Been getting better in the Ponce inlet area with wind and swell coming down a bit. Still plenty of sheepshead, slot Reds, a few trout and starting to see some mangrove snapper and nice flounder.

Mangrove Snapper. The most realistic edible " keeper". 10 inch minimum and 5 apiece. White flaky meat with no pungent taste. Easy to catch on live shrimp utilizing a Carolina ( sliding) sinker rig.

Spring has sprung! Water is heating up and so is the fishing. Offshore has been the ticket to some quality fish.
