Fishing Report

 

Here's the report for March through April and into early May. We are behind schedule this year due to the extremely cold winter it's as cold a winter as I can ever remember. We had some mullet freezes and everything this year. The good news is Spring officially starts today and people are out and about and Spring Fever is running rampid. The fish are starting to show up on the beaches there are schools of redfish mainly oversize bull reds from Mexico beach to the point at the cape. The whiting bite is strong as ever. They are not hard to catch just use fresh shrimp on a carolina rig or double pompano rig. The pompano schools are showing up on the beaches but not yet in numbers. They should come out in full force by the end of this month. When they show up the spanish mackerel will also come in. Try trolling the bouy line or look for surface action outside the point. Keep a spinnig reel ready for cobia as well they have their ear muffs off and are headed our way as we speak. Early in the season you will be looking for migratory fish which can be very large some even topping a hundred pounds so make sure your tackle can handle it. Spool up and get ready. The best place to find the fish is right off the beach up to two miles offshore. Looking the outside of the point and State Park area at the Cape will get you a shot at one of these big boys. Later in the season try fishing wrecks in the Car Body Area they will be "Ling"ering around. The trout bite will get fast and furious on topwater around Black's Island very soon if not right now. Consistently every year there are Gator Trout caught mostly on Top Water some over 10lbs. They are done hybernating and ready to eat so this may be the best time to catch your personal best. Redfish should start roaming the bay and Pomapano Point is a great place to start looking for them. They can be spooky so when the water warms up a bit you may want to try some wade fishing it is by far the steatlhiest approach. Get out there and fish the more time you get on the water the better chance you have of catching some trophy fish!
