It was a well day of only fishing on Sunday. Black Bass, Black Drum and
Spot Tails at the jetties. One Spot Tail was too big, had to release it. Ran into a school of Stripers in the South Satnee - non stop action for about 15-20 minutes, caught about 12, kept 6. We also caught one Trout at the upper end of Grace Island.

After a few weeks hiatus, I fished Estero Bay Friday with Steve Ross and father-in-law, Jack. We caught some live shiners, and used those for bait, along with live shrimp.

I headed out about 65 miles with Gregg Bedell on his boat Monday, to fish the Stoney Point wreck. We used squid, sardines, and shiners, and it was a pretty exciting day out there. We caught a fifteen pound African pompano, a seven pound mutton snapper, and a two foot rainbow runner. We kept a dozen vermillion snapper, and six lane snapper, releasing numerous others. When the mutton snapper hit our

The beginning of the week brought some beautiful weather to east central Florida with sunny skies and light winds. The water temperature in the Mosquito Lagoon is in the mid 60's and the redfish have been tailing aggressively. Each day, I am seeing more and more big trout and it looks like it will be an excellent winter for sight fishing.

One of our usual cool fronts has worked its way across the Treasure Coast the past few days, bringing cooler night temperatures upon us. It looks like the next week should be great weather for anglers in the area. We will continue to have our normal windy days, but there are plenty of areas to fish out of it. Hope you had a chance to fish this week.

The water levels have dropped in the Mosquito Lagoon but the temperatures have remained well above normal with several days in the 80's. The redfish schools have been plentiful and the black drum have been showing up on occasion. It has been more like fishing in April than January but I never complain when I can fish in shorts during the winter.

Wind and rain has been the story of the weather this week on the Treasure Coast. Winds kept many areas out of reach most days. Several days of constant drizzling rain left us waterlogged and wet. We did have a couple of nice days, but the rest were challenging. Looks like we will have similar weather again this week. Keep your rain gear handy!

The best action this week has been at mid morning and at places like Bear Point and the area around Blind Creek to the South and to the North it has been just north of the Moorings Flats.

Winter once again came and went on the Treasure Coast this past week. It went from the 30's to the 80's in just a few days. Water temperatures plummeted over the weekend to shut down fishing for a few days, but the warmth of the sun has sure helped warm things back up again. The past couple of days makes you think spring has arrived......at least for now!

Springtime weather spread throughout the Treasure Coast this week, bringing lots of sunshine and a few less windy days to make for mild fishing on the water. It sure has been a welcome change from the past month on the river. But as March is well known for....we can expect a windy weekend ahead of us and maybe bringing some much needed rain to the area.

A cool front went through over the weekend and cooled the water a little, but it warmed back up quick enough to keep the trout happy most days. We should continue to see nicer weather each week.
