Fly Fishing trips have had plenty of shots at redfish in pods, loose schools and singles. Mixed with that are legitimate shots at snook and over slot speckled trout. As soon as the wind settles down, nearshore Tarpon Fishing will be in full swing. The fish are here but we have not been able to get to them with the wind howling like it has been. I have had several groups taking advantage of my twilight specials which leave the house at 5:30 in Fish until dark at a decreased price. Catching has been good and the sunsets have been outstanding.
The bay fishing has been good recently. Catching some solid speckled trout in deeper water. Larger lures and soft plastics that resemble larger bait fish are producing some hard strikes. The redfishing has remained good throughout the past couple of months. Except one week when we received a crazy amount of rain. The fishing has stabilized since that rain storm. Both soft plastics and fresh cut bait have remained good choices for redfish. Shrimp and mullet colored worms are working for me. Expect the trout bite too only get better through out the next couple of weeks.
