Sheepshead
Capt.Frank here with our Northeast Florida first weekend in February Fishing Report. Weather continues to be a challenge. Cold front after cold front has brought low temperatures and high winds to the area. Wild changes in barometric pressure has affected fishing. Nonetheless, on fishable days, there are fish to be caught. Inshore, the speckled seatrout bite has been pretty consistent with good catches of legal trout and some lower slot redfish. Slow trolling with grubs near the bottom is a good way to locate the schools. Once found, traditional float rigs with live shrimp will produce numbers. Sheepshead fishing has been generally good with some really good days and some slower days. But some quality fish are being caught. When weather permits, the black seabass bite has been consistent - if you can get your baits past the red snapper. Further offshore, trigger fish have been good with some 5 pound plus fish being caught. Wahoo fishing has been tough this winter because of the weather. On the fishable days, boats are often encountering cold dirty water. But, there's lots of bait and some nice wahoo in excess of 100 pounds have been caught. Bottom line is - go when you can go and you may be rewarded. Hopefully, calmer weather is around the corner.

Ok, was just looking on my listing for a place. Forgot. Thanks. Not much fishing going on here. Weather has been horrible with only a few fishable days over the last 6 weeks. Inshore speckled seatrout has been good. Sheepshead has slowed. Offshore, black sea bass has been good when boats can get out…

Black Drum, Sheepshead
Last week, the trout and Pompano bite was red hot. A few Sheepshead are starting to arrive. Also several black drum got a ride to the dock. Awesome way to finish out the year.

Mangrove Snapper, Redfish, Sheepshead
Sheepshead fishing is in full swing and they’re giving us some fun days on the water. These tasty, hard fighting fish are highly sought after during our winter months. They can be a tricky fish to hook, with a mouth full of human like teeth the areas to set a hook are few which can make them an even tougher target. Alongside the sheepshead we are catching reds, snapper and black drum, plenty of variety and good eating fish to catch when the weather is cold. For the next couple months we will stick to shrimp for our bait of choice. Catching white bait these times of the year can be difficult and the fish switch their food choices to bait easier to catch like shrimp, crabs and sand fleas. Fish get slower with dropping water temps so their energy levels drop as well, they still fight like crazy and show us a great time on the water.
