Weekly Fishing Report week of 3/5/2018

Seatrout is the fish of the week. A new cold front just moved in and dropped the water temperature a good 10 degrees from 77 to 67 degrees. The Red Fish and Snook bite was on fire just before this last front, but for now they do not want to eat but you will see plenty of them.  We tried everything from Greenback, Shrimp and pinfish and nothing.  These fish really do not like dramatic temperature change, but I am sure they will be in the mood in the next few days. The good news is the Seatrout & Mangrove Snapper are in the mood to eat and plenty of them all over the place, look for Seatrout in shallow grass beds 2 to 3 feet of water and the Mangrove Snapper near shallow water rock piles and oyster beds. The other good news is we have seen our third Cobia, so just give it a couple more weeks and with one more warm front we are good to go. We are still running into Sheepshead about 4 to 5 miles offshore on shallow rock piles in about 10 feet of water.  The wind has been picking up and if last March was any indication we will be fishing more in the backwaters then offshore for the next couple of weeks.  We are not worried, plenty of fish, if you know where to look. On a side note we are gearing up for Cobia & Shark trips so if you are interested please book ASAP you can just go to www.jimmysfishingcharters.com or just give us a call at (813) 803-2085,  Also we are very excited about this July,  Pasco County is going to be allowed to Scallop for 10 days and we are gearing up and taking reservation from now so book ASAP because it’s only 10 days long. Unit next week stay safe and be careful on the water.
