April 2010

Great month of fishing!! Glad the warm weather finally moved back in and the unusually cold winter we had is gone! Now we just need a break from the wind. April was a great month and we had many great days fishing for redfish and sheepshead. On the few nice (light wind) days we had we were able to fish some of the nearshore reefs and load up on black sea bass, sheepshead and weakfish in the past couple of weeks. Most trips were run inshore because of the wind. Docks produced many redfish with mud minnows producing the best. The trout bite has still been a little hit and miss, some days we get into them good and the next day none....did catch a 4 pounder the last week in April! Still waiting to see the effect the cold winter had on them....reports from DNR don't sound very promising but we have been seeing fish! We have also been catching quite a few flounder fishing around docks and closer to the inlets. Sharks have shown back up inshore. Caught several bonnetheads over the last week. Looking forward to a great summer!!
