02/25/2025 Redfish, Speckled Trout

The bay fishing is starting to get interesting. Lots of sheepshead moving along the rocks at the jetties. Just need calmer weather to go get after them. Some bull reds are showing up there also. As the water temperature warms up after the cold weather we had last week expect the bite to only heat up as well. Speckled trout and redfish will move out deeper water in search of warmer temperatures and begin feeding on prey as it moves out shallower. Schools of black drum will also be easy targets once warmer water temperatures rise.

Water is LOW but water is beautiful and cool. Fish are there to be found but with recent winds it's no cakewalk. Not breaking any records, but all this client wanted for her birthday was her first redfish, so it did the job!

Bite has been solid the past week inshore for redfish, snook and trout and nearshore has been good up to 9 miles offshore for grouper grunts snapper and sheepshead last week when the wind has allowed us to get out there. Everything on shrimp because everything loves shrimp.

A lot of bigger trout wading have been showing up in East Bay. Along with some bigger schools of reds out on the flats making for easy sight casting. Spring fish is right around the corner and by the looks of it it's going to be a great season.

Tannic Water Adventures have reported successful sight fishing for redfish, especially during flood tides in grassy areas and low tides around mud flats. The cooler water clarity enhances visibility, making a stealthy approach and the use of finesse presentations, such as soft plastics or live shrimp, particularly effective. As waters continue to warm, redfish are expected to gravitate towards deeper structures and docks. In addition to redfish, other species like black drum, sheepshead, and speckled trout are actively biting. Anglers targeting the jetties with fiddler crabs and live shrimp have reported catching keeper-sized sheepshead, with some individuals weighing up to 6.5 pounds. The same areas have also yielded redfish and speckled seatrout.
