March Offshore Fishing
March is here and I finally have my first fishing report worth doing in 2024. The last 2 months have just been plagued with rough seas, cold dirty water and mostly very poor fishing.
Things Are Warming Up!
This warmer weather we've been having has sure woken the river up! The mornings have been very productive along the mangroves. Target zones where fish are visibly chasing prey. Small paddle tails on lightweight jigs continue to be effective.
Good Numbers, Empty Beds
It was a busy week for me last week getting out on the water. Tuesday I was out on Headwaters. We did pretty good for numbers but big fish have still eluded us. We finally had some fun topwater action. With the calm winds the hydrilla gnats were out in force. We found lots of empty beds as well.
Find Your Spot and the Fish Will Come
March is here, and it's like the sea and the sky are finally waking up after a long nap, showing off their true colors. The weather's been pretty sweet, a bit of a mix, but overall, it's making the waters inviting for our finned friends. And guess what? The fish seem to agree!
Great Weather, but Mixed Results Fishing
Good morning, Sebastian Inlet fishing family; I hope everyone had a great weekend. The weather was absolutely impressive, but not so much the fishing at the inlet. It was decent, but nowhere near what it could be.
Pelican Holding Fish
What a great few days we had. Kings showed up and they showed up hungry! Pelican seems to be holding the fish nicely. Not just kings on the troll, but the bottom dwellers, too. Triggers and snapper variations are also going strong. Cut bait chicken rigging is the trick.
Benefitting from Warmer Temps & Calm Winds
The warmer temps and calm winds has really helped the inshore fishing. Water temps in the lagoon have warmed up to close to 80 degrees and there has been more bait around and the snook and Trout have been more active on artificial baits as well as live bait. Still plenty of bluefish, jacks and ladyfish to target as well.
Fort Pierce Inshore
WOW, what a windy winter season here on the Treasure Coast! I’m fairly certain we didn’t have more than two consecutive days of “nice” weather in the past many months. Though the temperatures were relatively mild with no freezes or even frost, the wind and rain kept me at home for far too long.
Great Fishing for Lane and Mangs
This week the lane snapper and mangrove snapper bite has been incredible! Black drum are starting to break up a little bit, but the upcoming cold front should bring the schools back together.
Good Bite Since Front
Since the frontal passage, the bite has gotten really good for us here at Fineline Fishing Charters. In the rivers, black drum, small snook, and baby tarpon are the top three species that are pulling drag.
Warmer Temps Turning Up the Bite
The weather has definitely made a turn for the better this past week and looks to be sticking around through this week as well. With the warmer temperatures hitting us here in the Central Florida area it has really turned the fish on.
Kayak Fishing: Pine Island Basin & Sam’s Creek
I don’t know about you all, but I am loving this early spring trend of weather we are on! The warmer weather has brought a very hot inshore bite for me the last two weeks. Last weekend brought an increase in numbers, and this week brought even more in terms of quantity, and some quality fish in the mix as well - let’s dive in!
