The winter bite has been consistent, good numbers of sheepshead, whiting and weakfish have been keeping customers busy, weather in the mornings has been a bit cool by our Florida standards and picking the spots to fish in the wind can be challenging this time of year but overall it has been a good last 10 days

We have a very consistent trout bite with the current size ranging from 15"-21" along with a few kicker fish over 24". The snook have come out of the freeze pretty strong and we are catching good numbers of 18"-25" snook in creeks and canals where the water is warmer....

We have a very consistent trout bite with the current size ranging from 15"-21" along with a few kicker fish over 24". The snook have come out of the freeze pretty strong and we are catching good numbers of 18"-25" snook in creeks and canals where the water is warmer. Out on the flats we are having a fantastic season for redfish. My clients can expect 20 shots in a half day of fishing but the fish are challenging! The shallow winter pattern combined with crystal clear water will test any anglers abilities who targets them. They're a great warm up for bone fishing! We are getting shots at singles and schools of up to 50 fish. The average size for the redfish is getting better as well with most fish over 24" and some of the reds on the flats are over 30". They're a fly fisherman's dream!

Sheepshead have been really good and the redfish are getting back to normal as long as a cold front isn't coming through

Sheephead bite is still strong all over port orange and ponce. Use A jighead with a fiddler crab or a fish finder rig with fresh shrimp. Larger Snook and reds are in the shallows, but with the front coming at the end of the week, it will dirty the water and make it hard to find and catch them. I've been using medium to large shrimp and 3" mud minnows and finger mullet on a 1/8 oz jighead or just free lining them. Night fishing has been great for trout and smaller snook along the docks free lining live shrimp and mullet.

The snook bite has been really good the last couple of weeks with the warm weather. The water has been gin clear with lots of schooling reds and trout. The potential for a solid inshore slam is daily

The bites been a little tough between cold fronts. Having to work a little harder and cover a little more ground throughout the day to fine fish. The month of February will definitely be better as the water is warming up the sheep head are starting to bite the trout are starting to spawn and red fish are starting to stage up on outer islands.

Trout,Redfish and Snook
Now that the waters are warming up and the weather is getting back to normal. The fishing is going strong trout and redfish has been our target species but just to keep in mind snook season starts in March you don't want to miss out on a great catch.
For our trout and redfish right now they have been biting artificial lures. We have been using Z-man jerk shad's and Z-man TRD minnows. They Z-man jerk shad are on a Texas eye Jighead and the TRD minnows are on Ned rigs hooks.

The fishing the rest of this winter and spring is going to be one for the books. We are consistently getting 20+ shots in a half day. Quite of few of these shots are at schools of 10-30 redfish or black drum. The water is crystal clear and the fish are feeding great on artificials and flies. We are commonly catching "lagoon slams" of trout, black drum, and redfish on fly and spin. The best times to book are the days leading up to a full moon to witness the most schooling activity but the fishing has been good all throughout the lunar cycles.
