The trout bite has been fairly consistent with some days being better than others but we have been landing quite a few quality fish. The sheepshead bite is going to be the most consistent with more cool weather moving in to our area early this week. No matter the conditions we seem to never have too much trouble getting some of these tasty fish in the boat. On the deeper grass flats we have seen some Spanish mackerel and ladyfish mixed in with the trout. It is only a matter of time before the weather stables out and we can start targeting the schools of mackerels and bonitas off the beach which always provides great action with the occasional spinner shark in the mix.
