Cold fronts continue to keep inshore water cold. The fish have adjusted to the cold water and are schooled up in areas where the water is slightly warmer during the middle of the day. Trout fishing is still red hot if you know where to find them. They are hitting live shrimp and soft plastics rigged on jig heads. We are also picking up some redfish each day while targeting trout. Most of the reds have been in the 18-27 inch slot. When using shrimp, I'm also picking up a few sheephead and flounder also. Snook are still very scarce and it is still to early to tell what the snook migration will be like this spring.

Tight Lines,
