Fishing in our area has been incredibly productive over the past week, with many species starting to move out of their winter hiding spots.

This past week has been an exciting one on the water! As a new fish finder owner, I’ve been learning a lot about the underwater landscape and behavior of our local fish species.

This week’s fishing report is a promising one! Despite the larger snook being somewhat finicky, the overall bite was productive. The trout bite, in particular, was strong, with fish hitting in both shallow and deeper waters.

A week of nasty weather, with cold, wind, and rain, made it difficult to get out on the water. However, the weekend brought nicer conditions, and I was able to fish on Saturday and Sunday evenings.

This week’s nighttime snook fishing was on fire! Targeting mangrove shorelines with active bait was the key to landing some impressive snook. Small 3-3.5″ paddle tails, retrieved slowly, proved to be the winning combination.

This week’s fishing report is sizzling, despite the chilly weather! As the full moon approaches, night fishing in the river has only gotten hotter. My target species has been snook, and I’ve been having success using artificial lures.

The fishing has been absolutely on fire lately! The sheepshead bite has been particularly hot, with several catches exceeding 20 inches. As we progress deeper into the season, I expect the action to only intensify.

The sheepshead bite has been absolutely on fire lately! Over the past week, I made a couple of successful trips targeting these convicts, using mangrove tree crabs along the mangrove lines. The results were impressive, with a high catch rate and quality fish.

This week’s focus was on early evening trips targeting snook in the Indian River. With windy conditions, I turned to sheltered waters along mangrove shorelines for refuge.
