snook and black drum

Well gang, it’s definitely spring time. We have cold conditions one day, hot conditions the next and 360° of wind twice a week. This has the fish completely confused and almost un-pattern-able in the lagoons right now. On those days when you can find fish on the flats live baits like fingerling mullet or shrimp, or smaller soft plastics like the 3-inch Assassin straight tailed shad seem to be good options to get the reds, snook and speckled trout to bite. White or any combination of white and black, green or tan back colors are getting strikes from those species mentioned.

At the Sebastian Inlet and Port Canaveral, snook, redfish and black drum are the three top large game fish species we’ve been catching. Live shrimp is working best for the black drum and redfish. The snook will also eat shrimp but mainly in the afternoon or evening timeframe. In the mornings, they have preferred spots or croaker’s most of this week.

If you’re on the water during some of the calmer days, these fish have been firing off pretty good. So come on, book a charter with us and let’s go catch your next memory.
