redfish

This report is essentially the same as the last three or four weeks, and I could copy and paste a report from then. Most canals on all portions of the lagoon continue to produce very high quantities of 12-20 inch black drum. Fishing super light tackle for these drum is as good as it gets right now. Trout, redfish, and sheepshead are also in the mix. Snook and baby tarpon may eat on the warmer days between the cold fronts. Live shrimp is by far the easiest way to fish the canals, but artificial works as long as you retrieve it as slow as possible.

Like almost everyone else, I do not have anything to report nearshore or offshore because of relentless wind and dirty water. One week of calm weather is all it will take for epic fishing. Even with the wind, get out and enjoy clear water in all the lagoon system while we have it!
