My 4 Hour Nearshore bottom-fishing trips are producing keeper Sea Bass. I expect the Atlantic Bonito and Gray Trout to show up at the nearshore reefs any day now. And my inshore trips are producing slot-sized reds and we caught our first flounder of the year today (4/1/26). So, Spring has sprung!

At the 15 mile ledges, there are plenty of red snapper and grouper, with a few keeper Seabass though the sharks have also moved in. These fish have been caught on Carolina Rigs and grouper rigs with pogies or cut bait. If you don’t have live bait, you can also use grubs- fishbites or gulp brand work the best.
At 3 mile reef, there is still Spanish, bluefish , weakfish with some flounder moving in on the bottom. Most of the bluefish and Spanish are coming off of peanut pogies or spoons. The flounder and weakfish are caught off of...

At 3 mile reef, there is still Spanish, bluefish , weakfish with some flounder moving in on the bottom. Most of the bluefish and Spanish are coming off of peanut pogies or spoons. The flounder and weakfish are caught off of white and chartreuse baits on the bottom.
On the jetties there’s some larger trout, sheepshead and redfish tied to the rocks, along with Spanish. Most of the redfish have been along the bottom in the rocks with the trout and sheepshead being tight on the rocks. You can use a fiddler on a hook for the sheepshead or a live shrimp or artificial for the trout. While you’re fishing the rocks, you can toss a rig out for Spanish- any spoon that resembles a glass minnow will work perfect.
In the back water creeks, there are still some redfish, holding in some of the deeper pockets, along with some black drum mixed in.as you get out of those creeks on some of the oyster beds. There’s been a good push of some smaller trout with some bigger ones mixed in. Most of the trout have been coming off live shrimp with the slip cork while the black drum and redfish in the holes have been eating cut shrimp or mullet or mudminnow on the Carolina rig or Jig head on the bottom.
Along the ICW there as been a good amount of trout with some redfish and black drum. M

Nearshore 5-15 miles there’s been a good push of keeper size sea bass. Many of the 50-70ft ledges and live bottom have been holding better size fish. Any kind of cut bait squid or fish on a double drop rig should produce. If your not looking to make a mess with cut bait, large artificials like gulp and fish bite grubs and curly tails on a 2 oz jig work well. Theres also some good sheepshead and black drum around the 3 mile reefs as well. Typically using fiddler crabs or cut shrimp on a 3/4-1oz jig head or Carolina...
On the jetties there’s some trout black drum sheepshead and redfish around the rocks. Floating some fresh dead or live shrimp on a slip cork should produce. If the small sheep heads keep stealing your bait try throwing some artificial shrimp or z man swim baits for the reds and trout. Clears, purples, and red flake work the best.
In The back water creeks there’s still been some red fish, black drum, and trout. These fish right now are extremely spooky, and any kind of bait you throw needs to be presented slowly, but if you take your time, you may be rewarded with a monster fish. Mudminnows and shrimp on a jig head or throwing light artificial shrimp have had the best results.
In the ICW there’s been a few smaller keeper size trout scattered around the shell banks, and creek mouths. A lot of these fish have pushed up the river and the best way to find them is to use your electronics if you slowly cruise up and down the waterway and you have a side scan unit, you can normally mark the schools by the dozens. mark the school, then start in fish

The report in the last couple weeks is about the same. Once all the fish get in their winter time pattern it normally lasts until about March depending on the weather.

On the near shore ledges 10-20miles out there are still some grouper around. Pin fish or pogies on a Standard grouper rig has seem to be the best. There’s still plenty of red snapper around as well.
On the jetties Tight to the rocks there have been a few trout and smaller redfish on your typical slip corks using live shrimp. Also if you can find some fiddler crabs there’s a few sheepshead around as well.

In The back water creeks there has still been some small red fish, flounder and trout back up in some of the potholes typically we’ve been using finger mullet live shrimp or artificial baits like voodoo and gulp on a jig head. In some of the deeper channels leading up to some of these holes there has been a good push of trout ranging from 13 inches to 22 inches using slip corks with live shrimp and fishing them down towards the bottom. Don’t be surprised if you hook some flounder and black drum as well while doing this. This trout bite should continue to get better.
In the ICW there’s been Some black drum in the channels around structure. They’ve been biting dead or live shrimp on the Carolina rig on the bottom. Along the creek mouths and shell banks There is a good number of trout right now that are focusing on that scattered shell bottom and tight to the grass on the higher tides. Use your slip cork with a live shrimp and drift it down along these banks. This pattern should continue to get better as we get later into the fall as the trout start to migrate to our area.
