Well a break in the weather this time of year equals a break out in the fishing. And that is exactly how my two charters went this past week……… {%image_id=4402%} Starting on Thursday April the 10th with Terry Newsome it was perfect weather and the float fishing was great every where I dropped the pick. We were float fishing live shrimp in 8 to 20 foot of water in the river. We came across some solid Trout including a stud 6 pounder and some nice Redfish. {%image_id=4403%} We also had several Sheepshead and black Drum mixed in. All in all it was abut 4 hours of solid fish catching. It was the kind of day I have been waiting for this month. I will have to add that Terry is a very good angler also. Saturday the 12th with Jack Ward was a little different because the wind was blowing and a front was almost on top of us. My game plan to fish the river like I did Thursday was not an option because of the 20 mph wind. We had to move a lot but did find some nice Yellow mouth Trout in a spot where we were out of the wind. {%image_id=4400%} Jack had Redfish on his mind so we started hitting the creeks. The bite was very slow so I told him we should head to a spot that I was sure would be holding fish and just soak some crabs and hope for the best. I don't like to sit in one spot to long but this day it paid off. We stayed there about an hour and a half to catch only four Reds but it was worth it. All the fish were in the 5 to 6 pound range. What a day. Thanks again guys for a great time. {%image_id=4401%} Till next time tight lines. Capt. James Howard (904)651-9557 Jacksonville Florida
