Fishing Report 4/10/18 - 4/18/2018
Cobia are here! We
have been doing a great deal of Cobia fishing within the last week. It felt like within a day they all came back! Last week we went out and didn’t see any. This
week we caught 7 in two hours. One was
33 inches long. The bait has been hard to find, but there is plenty just south
of Tarpon. I think that will change soon
and they will be showing up further north within the next few days. Snook and Reds are around, but Reds are biting
better on live bait. Seatrout are now in,
you can find them on the open flats. They
seem to be still hooked on eating shrimp more so than Greenbacks. We have also landed a few flounder. We were not targeting them, but while drift
fishing and bouncing a jig off the sand pockets we’ve been hitting them. Mangrove snappers have been in 10 feet of
water over rocks and in the backwaters.
They seem to like just shrimp. We
landed one Sheepshead in the past 7 days. Plenty of lady fish and jacks around.
Conclusion, fishing has been very good
when the wind isn’t blowing and the Gulf waters are calmer. When using bait, try to use Greenbacks, your
second choice should be shrimp, 3rd would be Pin Fish (just make
sure to cut them up). Good luck out
there and stay safe. Please call us at (813) 803-2085 or email us at jimmysfishingcharters@gmail.com
