We had a little bit of wind last week which has been the continuing story this spring. Wind and cold fronts that are making the fishing harder than it should be this time of year.

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.

Another week of inconsistent weather with heavy winds a couple days. Typical spring where the bite changes daily with the weather and the full moon didn’t help the bite much either.

Good week of fishing inshore and nearshore. Nearshore bite was good with plenty of bluefish, mackerel, jacks and sharks. Plenty of action on artificial baits as well as live bait for the sharks and mackerel.

After a couple weeks of warmer temps and good fishing inshore and nearshore the winds increased and the temperatures dropped last week making it tougher inshore and too rough to fish off the beach.

Early in the week we had some pretty good weather that allowed us to get off the beach and chase the tarpon and play with some Blacktip sharks. =

Had a great week of fishing inshore and off the beach. The warm temps have increased the water temperature to the low-mid 70s and the snook and trout became more active.

The water temps increased 17 degrees in one week which improved the bite inside the lagoon. Water temps increased to 67 degrees this weekend. School trout, plenty of jacks and bluefish on artificial as well as few snook for opening weekend of snook season.

Coldest water temps we’ve seen since 2010 at 50 degrees. Haven’t seen any fish kills thank goodness but temps got dangerously close. The bite went cold too.

The cold weather and higher winds have slowed down the inshore bite for snook, trout and redfish. However, the sheephead, mangrove snapper and pompano have been pretty active in the river and along the beaches.

Easter Bunny brought Noah some Mangrove Snapper!

Steve with a over slot snook this week!

Noah with a Jack which is one of his favorites cause they are feisty as he says!

Capt. Jesse Austin is not saving any for the rest of us this year, apparently!

Capt. Jesse Austin swears by Native Salt Clams “Salty Tongue” baits when it comes to catching red snapper.

Capt. Jesse Austin of Going Coastal Charters crushed the red snapper during the first weekend of the 2018 Red Snapper Season.

This huge snook was caught with Capt. Glyn Austin out of Sebastian Inlet.
