The inshore fishing has been fantastic this past week! Redfish and trout have been absolutely fired up… They are chasing top-waters early and readily eating soft plastics once the sun comes up. Things did cool down a little bit, but the fish didn’t seem to mind. Water has cleared up just a little bit especially in the south end of St. Augustine on the higher water. We may have a chance to do a little bit of sight fishing before the summer murky water kicks in. I’ve been having my clients toss the new Gulp shrimp and the redfish and trout have been eating those lures like crazy. Stop by Strike Zone, I know they have some of them in stock. The flounder bite has started to pick up as well. We’ve caught a couple nice size fish this past week and I’ve seen some reports of some bigger fish showing up near the inlets. A mud minnow or probably even better a good size finger mullet would be the bait of choice for those guys. I know everybody has been chomping at the bit to get out and look for some cobia, but I haven’t had many reports. The ocean has laid down and a couple guys went last few days and caught a couple fish but nothing that would make me want to call in sick just yet. Most of the fish may have moved north but hopefully we get a little run before it warms up too much.
