The hot bite continues with snook and redfish leading the charge. While things haven’t changed much over the past week, the onset of rainy season will likely bring shifts in fishing patterns soon.
This week’s focus was on snook fishing at night, and the pre-spawn bite is HOT right now. Whether fishing day or night, snook are targeting areas with abundant bait, looking to bulk up before heading out to spawn.
This week’s fishing trips focused on evening excursions in both shallow and deeper waters, but Saturday’s trip stood out as particularly productive. As the waters continue to warm, I’ve noticed an increase in tarpon activity in the river, and it’s been a great time to target a variety of species.
It’s been a productive week of night fishing, with numerous catches across multiple species. Snook, redfish, trout, jacks, ladyfish, and even a black drum have all fallen victim to my presentation.
Another windy week has come and gone, but relief is on the horizon. With slightly calmer winds expected this week, we’ll be able to get back on the water and wear the fish out.
Fishing has been absolutely phenomenal lately, with the only obstacle being the wind! When we’ve been able to get out, I’ve been targeting a variety of structures, including flats, mangrove shorelines, and docks.
Despite the relentless winds keeping many anglers off the water, fishing has been exceptional when conditions allow. On my recent outings, I’ve found the usual suspects – snook, trout, and redfish – feeding actively around schools of bait.
This past week presented some challenging conditions with several windy days, but when I was able to get on the water, the fishing was excellent for the most part.
This past week was extremely productive, and I expect the strong bite to continue this week. Early in the week, I found larger schools of mullet, which is typically what I look for when fishing for snook.
Although I only managed to get out on the water twice this week, both trips were productive, yielding a good number of snook and trout, as well as a few jacks and smaller reds.
