March has roared in like a lion with spring winds followed by a spectacular calm day or two for sight casting with a fly rod or spinning tackle. Windy days have been good on wind blown shorelines for Redfish on jigs and topwaters with the occasional trophy class Speckled Trout. The color change bite remains strong for school-sized Specks. Find the bait and you find the trout. The calm days have been spent on the skiff with shrimp pattern flies or fluke style baits presented for the taking. Redfish aplenty along with some tremendous trout showing us their back sides! Sheephead remain strong off the jetties for the bait crowd. Did I mention some giant Black Drum? Been keeping a fish strip handy to pitch in front of cruising "big uglies" along the way.

The bay fishing has remained decent throughout the past week. Sheepshead are still thick at the jetties if the weather permits. Catching speckled trout all over the bay on soft plastics and live shrimp under corks. Try to find some deeper water near a transition into a shallower drop off....

The bay fishing has remained decent throughout the past week. Sheepshead are still thick at the jetties if the weather permits. Catching speckled trout all over the bay on soft plastics and live shrimp under corks. Try to find some deeper water near a transition into a shallower drop off. Fish are moving up and down these water depth changes. Redfishing has been better in the afternoon. Once the wind picks up the bite heats up as well. Expect it to be a busy spring break for fishing.

I've been doing the same thing every day, catching her fit on the jetty; we're just crushing them.

Drum bite has been great on fresh dead shrimp. Trout are good on popping corks along with reds along the shoreline.
