March madness is in full effect and the fish are happy as can be! When the warm weather rolls in, the fish cooperate with plenty of opportunities to catch tarpon, bonefish, permit, redfish and snook.

After that chilly spell! We were thrilled to catch some great snook after the water temperatures dropped. Anglers Mike and Eloy had a fantastic 6-hour adventure in Everglades National Park, using artificial lures, and they caught several nice snook and redfish.

After a back-to-back cold front and a pretty nasty die off with water temps in the 50's, things have finally started returning to normal. Reefs and wrecks turned out a solid mackerel bite, a decent yellowtail bite, and plenty of muttons in the shallower reefs . Even had some surprise...

Reefs and wrecks turned out a solid mackerel bite, a decent yellowtail bite, and plenty of muttons in the shallower reefs . Even had some surprise sailfish, and nice wahoo as well.

Bayside has been very productive on the mangrove snapper front with some nice-sized fish for the box and plenty of action as well.
