Fishing has been good when you can deal with the winds and weather conditions. We have been fishing in areas where you can get some protection from the winds and having success in the process. The best bite has been drum, sheepshead, croakers and even some nice whiting with the occasional redfish in the mix. Docks have been active when you can fish those areas. Deeper water will be the best opportunity to catch fish right now. As the sun warms things up you can find fish moving into shallower water to feed and keep warm. Pompano should love this weather along with bluefish, mackerel and a few other species. I love fishing this time of year...but it can certainly be a challenge!
Chris, Trey and Justin joined me this week for a windy adventure on the water. In spite of the winds, the guys caught a lot of fish including croakers, drum, sheepshead, snapper and lots of others. Ken and Jeff were faced with another windy morning, but caught some nice fish including a slot redfish on the last cast of the day. John and Tom had their windy challenge and it was a croaker and whiting morning for the guys. They ended up with some nice fish in spite of conditions. It's been a fun week, but blustery for us.
Dress for conditions! It will be cold at night and warm up during the day. Some days will bring a thirty degree swing in temperatures. Have fun and be safe on the water. Winter is almost over and thing will warm back up for us.
Remember, fishing is not just another hobby....it's an ADVENTURE!
Thanks and Good Fishing!
