Fishing Report:

We went from the frigid winter right into summer, bypassing spring. Because of our already high water temperatures the trout are already showing up in the deep grass flats-12-14 foot of water. These trout will readily eat the Berkley Gulp Shrimp on a 1/4 ounce Mission Fishing Jig head. Cobia, mackeral, small grouper, and plenty of sea bass also inhabit these waters. On a recent charter client Steve Bracke caught a 38 inch Cobia and a 5 -6 foot bull shark.

Closer to shore there are plenty of short trout in 2-4 foot of water. This past week, redfish and snook have caught on the oyster bars. They have been caught on topwater plugs and soft plastic jerk baits.
