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 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.

Waters have warmed back up and a variety of fish are slipping out to bite the hooks again.Few flounders not far from shore in the Gulf are still giving it up. Tasty bright red vermillion snappers are being caught as well, when the seas lay down here and there.

What is going on people!!! Happy new year to everyone. Here on the beaches of Melbourne we've seen the beginning of our pompano run. Though the fish aren't here in numbers that doesn't mean you can't catch your limit, being at the right place on the right tide is extremely important if this is a goal of yours. We've been catching fish FAR out beyond 100 yards focusing on using live shrimp cut into pieces tipped with Fishgum and clams tied onto bare hooks with magic thread. I'm having most success with lighter leader so don't be afraid to size down if you're not getting bites and if it's dead, move. Tight lines everyone!

e have had some cold mornings in Sarasota Florida and the water is cold! We ended the year with water temperatures in the 50's in some places. With these cold water temperatures our customers enjoyed targeting Sheepshead, Snappers and Grunts on our nearshore reefs. On our warmer days we focused on fishing the docks and rocks in areas that the water was warmer in Sarasota Bay and were able to find luck targeting Redfish and Snook! We also have found a few Pompano as well as schools of big Jack Crevalle in our back country creeks.

Fishing is hot right now on the Central Florida coast! We are seeing waves of Pompano migrating through with the schools of Mackerel and Bluefish. The seaweed has subsided for the most part, this is the best it's been all year for surf fishing. Find yourself some clean water, a good sandbar and you'll be on your way for some quality fishing. My go-to lure for Bluefish and Mackerel and Big Jacks in the surf. 1oz Gunslinger Jig by Beach Bum Lures. Pompano Rig - Pompano Rich "Pompano Catchers" Surfari Series- Color coordinate your floats to the water conditions. Bait of Choice - Live sandfleas or shrimp cut into small pieces tipped with FishGum. Tight Lines and Good fishing!

10/14/2022 Bluefish, Florida Pompano

October is a beautiful time to be out on the water here in the panhandle. The inshore bite is definitely awesome this time a year. You can pick off a lot of variety by pounding the banks with live shrimp, plastics, and twitch baits. Deep dropping or trolling offshore is still going strong. Just pick the right day to get out there as these northern winds start blowing pretty steady.
