Tannic Water Adventures have reported successful sight fishing for redfish, especially during flood tides in grassy areas and low tides around mud flats. The cooler water clarity enhances visibility, making a stealthy approach and the use of finesse presentations, such as soft plastics or live shrimp, particularly effective. As waters continue to warm, redfish are expected to gravitate towards deeper structures and docks. In addition to redfish, other species like black drum, sheepshead, and speckled trout are actively biting. Anglers targeting the jetties with fiddler crabs and live shrimp have reported catching keeper-sized sheepshead, with some individuals weighing up to 6.5 pounds. The same areas have also yielded redfish and speckled seatrout.

Bite has been solid the past week inshore for redfish, snook and trout and nearshore has been good up to 9 miles offshore for grouper grunts snapper and sheepshead last week when the wind has allowed us to get out there. Everything on shrimp because everything loves shrimp.

Fishing is on fire with redfish and snook. The super shallow bite is getting better and better every day. Sight cast fisherman's dream. Also the sheephead bite is still strong as well.

Been pretty cold here but the fish are still biting and it's starting to warm back up. Last few trips have been speckled trout and when we can get out to the jetty's there's black drum and sheepshead to be caught.
