The inshore sharks are here early and are being caught on live shrimp, crab or cut baits. The trout fishing has been better this year already due to the mild winter water temps. Redfiush are being caught using a varitey of baits and the shrimp are almost big enough to catch in the cast net. Sheepshead are being caught around docks using fiddler crabs. The nearshore reef trips have been real productive with many species being caught. Black Sea Bass and weakfish are the most common but we are landing many large redfish, black drum , sheepshead and should be seeing spadefish at any time now. Gulp shrimp patterns have been outfishing live shrimp on most trips, while the sheepshead are being caught on fiddlers. bsb511 elred511 jacob511 mandyweak511 dbl413 DSCI0696 DSCI0744 mkred bdrum DSCI0703

We have been seeing lots of fish on the docks as the waters clear from the colder temperatures. They have been picky on eating though. Fiddler crabs are usually the bait of choice for sheepshead. Some docks, they eat the fiddlers. Other docks, live shrimp worked and in some areas, fresh oysters were all they would eat. We have caught fish on every trip so far but some trips have been much more productive. The bait stealers have moved out from the creeks now so at least when you get a bite, its a good fish. Thankfully, this year, the water temps have not dropped so low as to completely turn off the bite like last year.

There are some big redfish, lots of black sea bass, sheepshead, weakfish, and other bottom dwellers. The spiney dogfish sharks are already starting to show as well. We have been using fiddlers, shrimp, minnows and gulp baits for fishing. The sheepshead bite has been really good and the bsb are always around. We are picking the days that the winds are not blowing to make for a fun, safe trip. Just remember to wear layers to keep warm on these colder days. jshp1712-1 mshp17 22red1230 weak1230 spshe1230

We are catching them on live shirmp at the jetties, on docks and in the creeks. We are starting to catch some decent trout as well. The Sheepshead bite has not been great so far this month. The fish are nice sized but just not many of them. Fiddler crabs has been the most productive bait but we have caught some on live shrimp. cred917 cred921 shj929 mfdr913 tamred924 mikesheep9211

We have been catching redfish, sheepshead, weakfish, black drum, black sea bass, ladyfish, and other bottom dwellers using crabs, shrimp or artificials such as Zman shrimp or gulps. mfdr913 mred913 shweak913 weak8111

We are catching Bonnethead sharks on shrimp or crab in the rivers and still catching Sheepshead on the docks using fiddler crabs. The Trout fishing has been terrible but the reef fishing is really doing well with catches of Sheepshead, Black Sea Bass, Blask Drum and Weakfish.

The Sheepshead are eating fiddler crabs or live shrimp fishing around docks and pilings.

In 3 hours Saturday, we landed over 80 fish. The biggest was a 35 pound red. It was non-stop action. You have to time it for the right tide, but if you do, it is a blast.
