The Spring Bite is in Full Swing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Live bluefish or pogies will do the job for the kings and cobia. Anglers can get in on the spanish action by trolling Clark spoons on #1 and #2 planers. If you’re catching more blues than spanish, speed the boat up to 7 knots to fire up the Spaniards.

Jigging Stingsilvers or Hopkins spoons on the nearshore reefs will produce gray trout, and anglers will catch some red drum and bluefish as well.

 Offshore, bottom fishing has been excellent. Grouper are in  the 90 to 110  depth range, big black sea bass, vermillion snapper, grunts, porgies, and black tip sharks are also all biting well at ledges and wrecks.

The prime baits are live cigar minnows and sardines jigged up from the structure. Don't forget your Butterfly Jigs.

Dolphin will start showing up in the king mackerel holes soon, and they will readily hit a cigar minnow or live bait.

Gulf Stream trolling is improving, with more yellowfin tuna showing up. Dolphin have arrived, but wahoo fishing has slowed down a bit.

Ballyhoo trolled beneath pink/white, blue/white, black/purple, and red/purple skirts are the hottest blue water trolling baits.
