January was a mixed bag of fishing adventures, with cold fronts, low water temps and high winds to make things interesting. Fishing was fair inshore with spotty catches of Redfish and seatrout and some snook. Best fishing was sightfishing with good shots a both reds and snook…We also had some good Tarpon action fly fishing when the winds layed down and air temps rose…unfortunately, it didn’t last but 2 hours and it was over….with no hookups . Laid up fish are extremely finicky and presentation has to be on the money… even at that, they were close jawed………….
Low tides and North winds hampered getting into the backcountry but we still had some good days with nice catches of redfish and seatrout.
The beach, or the Gulf, was windy with wrong wind direction and was difficult at b est…February has already started off with good shots at reds, and big, big, big snook to 50 inches.
The air temps are rising and we are coming off a full moon and fishing is on the rise. Had good catches of reds and snook in the backcountry….
Time to come to Florida and live the dream!!
Tight lines and loops,
