Good Spring Fishing

South Florida waters have remained cool through the onset of this spring. Although we've had a few blustery days, there have been many warm and calm days to choose from. Inside Flamingo waters are seeing tarpon, snook, and bass up the headwaters. Florida Bay has had a great trout bite. Offshore waters have seen a good number of cobia taken up to around 35 pounds. The west coast shorelines have had mixed results, depending on the weather. And some of the inlets have had really strong currents-making them a little tricky to fish. One charter party had great success in Florida Bay waters. The Rounsaville's caught two keeper size cobia, several trout, and many jacks. They spinfished mostly with live shrimp and also used live bait. I have also been fishing for bass and we are just starting to get some results. I am teaching someone to flyfish so we are encountering peacock and largemouth bass, mostly done sightcasting. Some charter captains are starting to get some more business lately, we are in prime time and it should get even better throught spring and the beginning of the summer.
