The spring bite is firing off. Dont miss out on making a memory with your friends and family!!!!!!

Fish are turning on nice and the hogs are a plenty..lol

After seeing Spanish mackerel feeding actively on the flats 2-5 miles offshore last week, my plan yesterday was to target them in the morning during the lower part of the tide. Later, with the stronger part of the incoming tide, we'd move over the grass beds and scattered potholes to target trout--or so I thought. Waves were forecasted to be less than a foot, after all. But after launching and making most of the drive to the end of the grass flats south of Snake Key, soaked with spray and getting tossed around in 1-1.5' waves, I decided to have us turn back around and get some relief from the wind and waves back on the north side of Snake Key. After getting the trolling motor down in about 3.5' of water, Adam hooked up with trout on three consecutive casts and the fast action proved to be the best remedy for the dark, windy, and wet conditions. We put four trout between 16" and 18" in the cooler before dolphins came close and slowed the trout bite. We were catching them all on 3" Zman Minnowz in the Pearl color on 3/16 and 1/4 oz jigheads. Having stashed a couple by-catch ladyfish in the cooler, I asked if Adam wanted to try fishing for redfish at some nearshore spots around Snake and Atsena Otie keys, but Adam said, "I think it's a trout day." So I stashed the trolling moto and made the drive to the flats and cuts northeast of Deadman's Key. Action was fast and furious on ladyfish and trout, but most of the speckled trout were undersize. We added a 16" sand trout to the cooler and landed some by-catch founder up to 12.5". All of a sudden, Adam's light action trout rod was pulled down hard and the 2500-class Shimano was screaming drag. I thought he'd accidentally snagged a big stingray or one of the manatees we'd seen on accident, but the shimmering slab of silver that flashed broadside through the leading edge of a wave removed all doubt--he'd hooked a tarpon! It made a lunging jump at line's end and threw the hook, giving us a show and giving away it's roughly 70-pound size. We called it a day with a hundred or so fish landed. It turned out to be a beautiful, sunny Florida afternoon. All fish were caught on artificial lures, with the Yo-Zuri 3D Minnow hooking a ton of fish in water 3-4 feet. The ladyfish couldn't resist it and although sometimes a disappointing catch, I stashed a bunch away to use as one of the best cut baits possible for redfish.

Windy day on the water. So we stuck to the back waterways. Caught 30 reds 2 black drum and 1 massive Trout. All in all not a bad day with the weather.

Halfday trips pre cold front bites 2 trips 250 red fish!!!!!!!!!!!

We caught 30 reds today. 3 keepers before the cold front set in.
