mangrove snapper

Since the frontal passage, the bite has gotten really good for us here at Fineline Fishing Charters. In the rivers, black drum, small snook, and baby tarpon are the top three species that are pulling drag. Small trout are also available, especially along channel intersections or the edges of dredge holes. Along the beaches manta rays are starting to show up, however we have not caught any legal sized fish yet this year.

Tripletail, black drum and mangrove snapper are three other species that we’ve been targeting lately and having good success on. Some of the mangroves are pushing 5-pounds right now and they’re a real handful on a spinning rod when you hook into one. Live shrimp continues to be the best bait for all of these species most of the time. The snook will feed on silver perch and croakers as well when you can find them.

If you’d like to get out with either Capt. Justin or myself to catch your next memory, please give us a call at 321-636-3728 or 321-505-8217 so that we can get you lined up to get out with us and catch some of these great fish in the next few weeks.
