The month was filled with good action on seatrout, snook, redfish and assorted species.Jeremy Spencer and son Cody had a “Bent rod Day” as they were hooked up for 4Hours straight catching Seatrout, Ladyfish, Puffers, Lizard fish and Jack Crevalle. Cody learned the Topwater walking the dog technique with artificial surface lures and caught his first seatrout on topwater….Jeremy was busy fishing DOA soft plastics and caught 30 seatrout plus puffers and ladyfish.Jeremy also landed his first Redfish…Cody’s seatrout were over 20”.
Natalie and Lindsay from Utah had a great day catching Seatrout and Ladyfish on fly. Both are accomplished casters and get the fly to the correct area We had shots at a good number of snook, but they were extremely spooky and even with terrific casting we didn’t hook up. Natalie is the woman standing on my poling platform…These two women have drift boats and fish the Green River lower section and are used to casting in less than desirable conditions. Mike and Jack Sheffar fishing in a 20mph wind ,with fly rods caught seatrout, ladyfish and snook ..Mike will hook his firstTarpon in May which is his quest……
Just about every dock in the area is loaded with Sheepshead and the Placida trestle is fishing well. There are a few Tarpon in Boca Grande pass and smaller tarpon out in Charlotte Harbor. I will be running flyfishing this year in my 1720 Action Craft for backcountry Tarpon and light offshore. I also will be running Boca Grande Pass tarpon trips for up to 4 people. and some offshore Reef and wreck fishing….in my 21ft cuddy walkaround boat….
HOpe to see you soon,
