Spring has sprung and we are finally into our summer weather patterns. Hot summer days and afternoon thunderstorms and our summer patterns are taking shape. The bait has started to show up and the big Jacks, kingfish, bonito, sharks tarpon and permit are beginning to make their presence known as well along the beaches. Bait and gamefish have been scattered, but should be making a consistent presence in the coming weeks.

Inshore is still very good with plenty of snook, slot sized redfish and trout along with some big jacks. Live bait has been beat but DOA soft plastics have worked well, also.
