Been doing lots of fishing but been bad at the picture taking! Spring fishing is solid. Starting to be fish under birds, mudding pods of reds and large trout on shoreline pockets. Fly fishing has been great for reds, drum and Snook along with shots at some giant trout. As soon as the wind drops, it will be Tarpon time off the jetties and beach front.

The bay fishing has remained good throughout the past couple weeks. Catching some nice boxes of fish on artificial lures and fresh cut bait. The windier spring weather has created some good fishing conditions for redfish out on our grass flats. Actually have had a lot of productive days targeting redfish because of the warmer windier weather patterns. Gold spoons, soft plastics mimicking shrimp or mullet, and fresh cut mullet have been slamming the reds. The speckled trout bite has been a little slower but still catching some solid specks of soft plastics. Once the wind dies the speckled trout bite will come back to life. Probably be real good towards the end of May. Some schools of drum are popping up for those who like to target them. Should be another good month of fishing. My schedule is filling up quickly...

Fishing has been great even with the wind blowing! The bite has continued to be good, even though the wind has been blowing. Soft plastics have been producing nice trout and up shallow gold spoons have been what the reds have been wanting!
