Sheepshead, Redfish and Black drum! The cold-weather critters are biting!! Catching a ton of tasty ones. If they’re looking to fill the cooler, this is the time of year to do it!

With this cold weather, nearshore is the way to go! Lots of sheepshead and catch-and-release grouper. Between fronts, inshore has been producing big jacks and decent numbers of trout.

Winter is in the air! Pompano are on the flats along with trout and jacks and a few flounder, and sheepshead are on the rocks and nearshore reefs. It’s a great time to get out and put some meat in the cooler .

This colder weather has pushed the snook and jacks into the rivers and creeks. Redfish continue to be found near deeper channel edges/docks. Some black drum have started to show up while fishing with live shrimp around structure as well as pompano while fishing for trout on deeper grass edges.
