Fishing Report Week Of April 5th, 2018




Fishing is back, water temperature is up, bait is everywhere life is back to normal. The fishing has been hit or miss for a while, but I think the ups & downs are over and we are going into the best months of fishing. The Red fishing and Snook are eating again, and they came out of the back waters. Seatrout are on the open flats in about 6 feet of water over grass. Mangrove snapper over rock plies with nice size Sheepsheads and we are starting to see a lot of Spanish Mackerel in the same spots. Cobia seem to be starting also they are still offshore about 8 miles out but have not seen any good size ones yet at least in Pasco county. The one thing I would say, fishing has been better in an outgoing tide and does shut off during the slack tide (No moving water between High & Low Tides). Catching bait is better at first light as the day goes on bait is harder to find.  Conclusion fishing has been good so go have fun and be safe. On a side note please keep only legal size fish I have seen people keeping undersize fish this is not legal and we had to talk to people about it, we need to protect our fishing waters for the next generation of people who want to enjoy the water & fishing like we do, Also keep what your going to eat so we can keep the fishing stock healthy. Thank You
