The weather this last week has kept us confined to the bay, but large numbers of reds and black drum still roam around inshore. All the fresh water has pushed the flounder out a little but that is starting to ease up some. On the days we have been able to get out front to the oyster reefs and cleaner water, the big trout (18"+) are feasting!!!

Flounder moving into the bay real good, reds are feeding up, and the speckled trout are gorging themselves getting ready for the next spawning cycle. 18-22" trout can happen on any cast and is getting more likely every day. On the days that we get decent seas the nearshore trout fishing is phenomenal!

Speckled trout are starting to run the beaches and near-shore reefs and we have been stacking them up when the wind allows. Flounder are migrating into the bay in better numbers. Redfish are still roaming the shallows. Bait shops are starting to have live shrimp more often, allowing more consistent catches. We are entering one of the best fishing times of the year on MS Gulf Coast!! We just need people wanting to fish!!

Lately we have been catching plenty of sheepshead and black drum. Some days we are still getting into redfish, speckled trout, and white trout. The weather has been mild and we haven't had to make long boat rides, both of which make for a relaxing fishing experience. Live bait such as shrimp and fiddler crabs have been the key to success. In the coming weeks we will continue to fish inshore structure for sheepshead and drum, and start to focus on river mouths and deep bayous for trout and redfish once the water cools down.
