Mother Nature has pulled the curtain back uncloaking concentrations of Trout over big water open bay structure and the fishing couldn't get much better. Solid Redfish have been holding to the same structure in tight on shell reefs with scattered "tournament class" fish preferring sand/mud of late.
This week we'll pick our new 2017 20 x 8 Air Ranger from American Airboats in Orange. Our 2015 20 x 8 will be out there for sale if anyone is interested. Motor is still in warranty through the end of the year.
For us there was lots of action on the flats and back marsh environs heading for the big Holiday! Capt. Kolten Braun started things off right with Trout and Black Drum limits working deep shell on PCS.
Heading for the big transitions in April and we're expecting a great Summer. Bay waters have greened up bigtime in the last few days on pumping South winds and water levels have come up big time toward a more seasonal Spring pattern.
Combine the challenges of a full moon with a big water fall out and then put a 30 mph wind on top of that and I promise you'll have your hands full figuring that out. When that happens you better hope you're lucky and good!
Tides dropped out a bit overnight which will rearrange a few things but not bad. We've been enjoying lots of family groups over Spring Break and they've been having a ball. Weather is making a turn for the better and that's setting the stage for a really enjoyable rest of the break.
While some stretches of the coast may not fish as well in these conditions, our environs set up nicely with numerous protected back lakes and shallow bays.
