Blair with a Big Black Drum
We’ve had a windy spring so far and this last week was no exception with 15-25 mph winds all week. The only positive was that the winds were out of the south and east and the water temps were good. Spring bait is starting to show up and the snook action is getting to where it should be with some trout and a few redfish in the mix. There’s a few schools of black drum around as well. We’ve been getting plenty of snook on most trips with mostly slot and a few under slot fish. We’ve also been getting a few over slot fish but not as many big fish in the 40+ inch range. I am seeing a few bigger trout around but not too as many as I would expect this time of year.
Frank with a slot snook!
The beach fishing isn’t happening with the winds and rough seas and the inlet has been silty from all of the beach renourishment and the dredging in the inlet. If you’re fishing the inlet, be wary of the dredging operation and the pipes are crossing the inlet and are submerged most of the time but they also can be floating at the surface. There is a sign on the dredge barge on which side to pass if you can’t see the pipe.
