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.

Fishing has been great to kick off the year. The reds are schooled up inshore and the sheepshead have began to move out to the nearshore reefs. Offshore has never slowed down for bottom fishing. Black Sea bass are thick.

Fishing report from Brandon D. in Cape Coral, Florida

The last couple days have been nothing short of fishy, any and every species you can think of inshore and nearshore. The sheepshead bite has been as good as it’s ever been. Getting limits and personal best fish for customers. Lane snapper are plentiful on nearshore wrecks and reefs, and the redfish and trout have been keeping us busy inshore with a few snook mixed in. The cold hasn’t slowed the bite down one bit. Fishing shrimp on jig heads for our bottom and structure dwelling fish and popping corks for the inshore fishing. Sight fishing reds has been the go-to on grass flats, pot holes and mangroves. We’ve been catching upper slot trout and getting a few over slot gator trout on every outing. The bite is bound to stay hot with some of these strong flowing tides we get in the winter months.
