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.

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.

Catching a lot of numbers as the water warms up. The Big girls will be going on the beds here in a bit with that moon phase here on Lake Okeechobee. Still getting some decent numbers of peacocks- just need yourself a guide to show you where they're at! And the bite at Lake Okeechobee is starting to pick up. It's going to bust loose any day now!

Cold temperatures dipping into the 30s and 40s have turned on the sheepshead bite. They can be caught all over the bay and near shore reefs.

Fishing report from Mike M. in St. Augustine, Florida

ey guys. Well, 2022 is in the books and 2023 is starting off pretty good. It has warmed back up since Christmas but the reds are still chewing. You can find them in the creek holes still but if you're looking to get on a few upper slot fish the flats are the place to be. They are schooled up nicely and the water is clear. As long as the wind isn't blowing too hard you can get up on them fairly easy. The flounder bite has been better but you can still pick a few here and there in the creeks and around the oysters. Sheepshead and black drum are holding good in the creeks and the trout are holding in the creek holes and creek mouths at lower tides. Mud minnows have been the bait of choice for most but shrimp will be your go to for the sheep's and drum.

Fishing has been great. We've been using love shrimp, soft plastics and corky's. We've been focusing on drains and edges of flats adjacent to deeper water.
