Fishing has been solid. Trout are back in the breaks and flats, reds are starting to school a little better. Tide has been high so fish have been up in the mangroves and on shorelines.

Sheephead at the jetties are slowing down as we get to the middle of April
Slot reds along with some bull reds have been steady
Most of the trout at the jetties have been over sized but fun to catch
Flounder are starting to make their way back to the bays. I had a wade fishing trip last Saturday where we caught our trout and 14 flounder 6 of which were over 16"
