March 29th Fishing Report
Snook, Snook, Snook and more snook! Although it was a very windy week, with winds from 20-30 MPH just about all week, the fishing was on fire! The tides were very good due to the New Moon, especially in the afternoons with a very strong outgoing tide. The snook fishing this week was some of the best I have seen in some time! Clients were averaging anywhere from 30-65 fish on half day trips! We were able to catch several keepers this week between the 28-33 In. slot limit. Even though we did catch several keeper size and a few over size snook this week, The catch of the week had to be a 27 In. 8 LB trout caught by a client from Maine. It was a beautiful fish that was released alive! The redfish were scattered out this week, but did manage to catch a couple. Hopefully with all this rain we have got today, many snook, redfish and trout should get pushed out of the rivers/creeks and produce some more excellent fishing this coming week!
