Cocoa Beach Fishing Report by
Doug Blanton
(2007-02-28 12:05:42)
[Cocoa Beach] I can't say the bulls are charging but I can say the Gator Trout are. We have been catching a few nice reds up to 31 lbs and have seen a few of the 40+ pound fish but as of this report we haven't boated one yet. As for the big trout, they have been moving on the flats in good numbers. Our biggest to date was a 8 pounder we boated on top water.

[Savannah] Suggestions for inshore and offshore. How to get a big fish to your hook! In last week's report we talked about small creek minnows being the best bait, but when targeting a larger fish, we suggested going with larger bait such as shiners.

[Port St. Lucie] Redfish warming up to the weather on the flats! We have found a number of redfish sunning on the flats and most days they were easily scared. Mark Amorello boated a nice slot size redfish, while we missed several others this week. Soft baits worked best for us...

Big Snook Inshore Ft. Pierce by
Joe Ward
(2007-02-23 05:14:08)
[Fort Pierce] Big snook inshore and offshore is getting better. The snook bite around the local bridges and in the Ft. Pierce Inlet has been steady. The one problem has been that the fish were either over the slot or under the slot. I only got a few reports of keepers. A Red Tail Hawk has been hard to beat this week with pinfish and select shrimp a close second.

[Savannah] Crappy Happy, inshore suggestions for fishing cold water and offshore bottom fishing. In last week's report we talked about small creek minnows being the best bait and float rig types doing the best job of delivering it. I also suggested fishing at night, because especially during this time frame these fish are “night owls” for sure.

Big Snook In The Turning Basin by

(2007-02-15 20:50:39)
[Fort Pierce] Wind has made fishing tricky. Big snook in the Turning Basin. Once again, sea conditions haven't been that great but they have been fishable. I got good reports of sea bass, triggerfish, snapper and grouper coming from the party boats that were fishing in 60 to 90 feet of water.

[Lake Ontario] Ice fisherman finally have safe ice and now the heavy snow is keeping them from getting to the some of the better spots. Please use caution when taveling on the ice as the heavy snow can create weak spots. On Sandy Pond Northern pike are taking large minnows, and walleyes and pan fish are taking spikes and jigs with small minnows Chaumont Bay Sandy Pond and Black Lake continues to produce perch.

Mid Winter Fishing Inshore Wrightsville Beach by
Rick Bennett

[Wrightsville Beach] It's mid-winter and spring is just around the corner. As to be expected, fishing is a bit slow right now. Some stripers are being caught in the Cape Fear River. Dogfish and black sea bass are biting on the nearshore reefs. Grouper are biting in the 20-40 mile range.

Slowing The Fast Snook Action by

[Sarasota] Winter is still in the air but I can't complain too much, it feels like its going to make it into the 70's today. I guess it's a little better than sub-zero like they are having up north. It's no wonder the birds migrate south for the winter and I have to say I have been seeing a lot of ducks out on the water lately, enjoying the Florida sun.

[Lake Ontario] I know it's been awhile since I posted a report but with over 100 inches of snow on the ground there isn't a lot to talk about. I spend about all my time shoveling and snow blowing just waiting for the front end loader to show up and push it all back. Here is what our yard looks like.

[Hopedale] Finally the sun was shinning and the fish were in the mood. The temps were still cool and the water around 50 degree's perfect for doing the BUMP in the deep passes for speckled trout. Headed straight to the area I caught in a few days ago and Lady Luck was smiling and Paul had one in the boat first cast.

Snook season opens on the Treasure Coast! by
Charlie Conner
(2007-02-04 17:15:08)
[Port St. Lucie] Snook season opened this week on the Treasure Coast. Some anglers enjoyed catching their first slots of the season, while others were still out there at daylight in search of theirs. I only spotted about six boats around the inlet at 6 am on Thursday morning. Others showed up around the area as the tide peaked on the river. Most anglers were targeting the seawalls, docks and bridges on the first day of snook season.

[Clearwater] Feb. cold fronts makes all the difference. Now is the time to book Tarpon Charters. With the recent cold fronts, the water has chilled to the perfect temperature. With the water in the low 60's, the fishing has exploded. Redfish are in good number on the flats ranging from 25 to 35 inches. The best time to fish in on the extreme low tides.

[Bear Lake] Well we are just about at the peak of the Cisco Run. Plan on them running for at least another couple of weeks but if you plan on dip netting them I would be here for the weekend. Even though they will continue running the numbers won't be as great. Your best bet for catching them would be the weekend.
