We have had some very productive days in the past few weeks targeting a wide veriety of species. This time of year you can always catch a mess of sheephead with a mixed bag of various species. We have been doing well with nice slot sized redfish and some 20+ inch seatrout way up in the Manatee river using live shrimp. This is one of my favorite times of the year because on the nice warm days you get a glimpse of things to come. It is also the time of year when my calendar starts filling up with charters for the upcomming months. Call now and book your chater for Snook and Tarpon season...April and May are going to be awesome !!!
