Fished inshore with mixed results. Inconsistent cold weather and winds have made the bait scarce and with the bait scarce the gamefish are scarce as well. Inshore we caught a few snook, some trout, jacks, mackerel and ladyfish. Also had a school of black drum in the lagoon but the fish were very picky. Finding them wasn’t too hard, but getting them to eat proved difficult. Overall, the inshore bite was pretty slow, but we did get some good fish. Live bait was key with the snook but everything else came on artificial. We also got a few tripletail off the crab traps in the lagoon.

Beach fishing was decent until the week until the winds started howling and the seas got rough. The seas calmed at the end of the week but the fish were scattered. Looking forward to more consistent weather in the coming weeks and a normal pattern for this time of year.
