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.

Speckled trout have made a comeback in the bay area, and we are seeing a lot of overslots more consistently every day! Good eating meat in the box! They are eating live pinfish, shrimp, and white bait like they have never seen them before. Big black drums are showing up in good numbers on the bridges, and they are slamming the artificial and cut crabs. The snook and redfish are getting back to their normal spring patterns of eating cut bait, white bait, and pinfish! the bite at night is just as good, if not better, then the daytime bite when it starts to warm up 🎣
