South Indian River Fishing Report 3/28

Inshore:

Here it is the last days of March and it's still cold! I keep wondering when winter will give up and let it warm up on the Treasure Coast. Winds continue to blow as well, but that's a typical March for us. Expect more to come. Water temps have been in the low seventies and that's good for fishing. The incoming tides have been bringing in cleaner water and that has helped the bite for us. It has been a challenging month!

Keith, Frank and Turner were back in town and we enjoyed a nice morning of fishing. The guys caught sheepshead, snapper and assorted other fish including an nice black drum that Frank caught to top off the day. Will and Jean have been out several times this past week with me and had some good success in catching sheepshead a lot. Jean had one day that she also caught two redfish and two nice pompano. Marshall, Jane, Nile and Tate were back again this year. Once again, sheepshead has been the best bite most mornings.

The Treasure Coast Casters had their monthly tournament this past week. It's a wonderful non-profit organization for kids and I enjoy helping out. I had Josh and Nick this month on the boat. The guys were anxious to catch fish and it didn't take long for Nick to start catching. He ended up checking in two nice sheepshead and two black drum for the tournament. Josh caught a beautiful slot redfish and couldn't get a sheepshead to the boat. Overall the boys hooked seven redfish and got five to the boat. The last two they hooked were better fish and got off at the docks. Nick took first place and Josh won second place in the Middle School Division. We all had fun that day!


As always, remember, fishing is not just another hobby....it's an ADVENTURE!!

South Indian River Fishing Report 3/21

Inshore:

Looks like winter has to show up just one more time to cool things down. Just when you thought Spring had arrived...boom...it's another cold front. It won't last long and this should be the last one...I hope! Winds have been prevailing most days with one or two mornings each week that give you some light winds to get around the river and enjoy the fishing. The water has been pretty dirty most days near the inlets. Look for cleaner water to find the best fishing.

Duane, Kate and Nick joined me on windy morning that made it difficult to find areas to fish. Jacks, snapper and sheepshead was the best bite of the day for them. It was fun in spite of the weather. John and Theresa fished with me on one of those rare calm days. It allowed us to get to areas that you seldom get to fish this time of year. They boated about twenty sheepshead with fifteen over the 12" size. They also caught a couple nice pompano to make for a nice day fishing! Will and Jean got back in town and found the sheepshead bite continued the next day. It was good action with nice sized fish.

Try docks for redfish, sheepshead and snapper this time of year. Channel edges will hold sheepshead, drum and snapper. There are croakers and sand perch in the river now. I enjoy the winter and spring bite because there are a good variety of fish to target. The cold front should help improve the pompano and croaker bite for us. It a wonderful time of year to enjoy the fishing. Just plan your trip around the winds!

As always, remember, fishing is not just another hobby....it's an ADVENTURE!!
