Windy Spring Break March

Описание тура

March has been one hell of a month as far as weather goes. We've had a few nice days but most of the time the winds have been kicking up in the 20 plus mph range. This just makes it a little difficult to fish a lot of inshore spots and definitely prevents us from doing any offshore trips. Now don't get me wrong, we've still been catching a lot of fish but it's just been a little more challenging at times. Most of the fishing we've been doing lately has been inside the lagoon just trying to find cover. We're catching a lot of smaller speckled trout with a mixed bag of redfish, jack crevalle, and ladyfish. We're using some artificials but mostly popping corks with live shrimp. The sheepshead fishing around the bridges has been pretty good as well. Sheepshead are some of my personal favorite eating inshore fish and a challenge to catch. Sebastian Inlet is always a go to spot for catching something. If the ocean is to rough outside the jetty we've been drift fishing the channel catching some big bull reds and a whole bunch of jack crevalle. Local Floridians give jack crevalle a bad rap but they are pound for pound one of the hardest fighting fish around and will definitely wear your arms out. To tell you the truth, I've had many of my customers in the last couple years decide to take home some jacks. Everyone has said they are fantastic tasting so who knows maybe us Floridians are just spoiled. The snook bite hasn't been all that great for us lately, we've been in somewhat of a slump on catching any big snook ever since the season started. Hopefully this slump will end soon because I want to start ringing that bell.

Spring Break Time
Spring Break Time
Март 11, 2024
It's coming into spring break time, so we'll have limited spots available. We get booked up pretty quick this time of year. Let's start off with the weather, we'll it's been hit or miss as usual. It's been windy, rainy, and cold most of February. March should be warming up a bit though. When the days are available offshore trips have been very productive. We've had a few nice days in the last couple weeks, so last minute decisions to run out have paid off. The snapper bite has been amazing. Nice sized mangrove and lane snapper, triggerfish, sheepshead, pompano, bluefish, and kingfish, along with an occasional cobia have all been taking the bait. Inshore on the other hand has been hit or miss. The heavy winds have been making the lagoon very dirty. With dirty water makes it almost impossible to site fish anything unless they're active on top. The cold fronts and heavy winds have put a damper on most days but we're managing. The snook bite at the inlet has been tough as well. There's been a solid 10 degree difference in water temps from the ocean side to the river side. One day is hot the next day is not. The inlet has been holding a decent amount of jack crevalle which offer an awesome fight and there has been some occasional monster bluefish around. There's been a good number of blacktip and spinner sharks being caught along the beach and nearshore reefs. When mother nature allows us, we're having good luck on the nearshore reefs catching weakfish and lane snapper. The big manta rays have started to show up outside the inlet and if you're lucky they'll have some cobia tagging along with them looking for an easy meal. Bowfishing has been excellent at night. We've found some solid spots in one of the lakes that offers some fantastic trips. Tons of tilapia everywhere you look, some customers are getting upwards of 300 shots a night. The day trips are ok, but nighttime is where it's at for bowfishing out here.
