On our inshore fishing charters this past week our guests experienced fast action on the deep grass flats with lots of nice sized seatrout, ladyfish, and jack crevelle. We also landed quite a few snook in the mangroves and a couple redfish made it boatside as well mixed in with snook on some shallow grass flats. We caught all of our fish on live pilchards which were plentiful at the skyway bridge. There is also lots of sheepshead still around on some of the nearshore structure along with grunts and snapper in the mix in the same areas. live shrimp has been the best bait for these tasty fish. Remember that the FWC has decided to keep the seasons on redfish, trout, and snook closed for another year to help replenish the fish stocks. We are practicing catch and release on these species. 

On our nearshore charters out in the Gulf Of Mexico we have had good action on hogfish, grunts, sheepshead, and porgies on some hard bottom and ledges 35-40 feet deep. Most of these fish were caught on live and dead shrimp fished close to the structure on the bottom. There is also some tripletail still around on the crab traps running the beach.

As we get closer to spring the weather is going to stable out and it will be game on! Don't miss out call me at 813-220-8725 to book your fishing charter today and make some awesome memories with the family!
