Winter is kinda hanging on here in mid March. I hope it is the last of it. The fishing however has been great. Sheephead showed up right on schedule, the Speckled Trout have been plentiful and large and the next few weeks should be real good for the Porgie fish.
As water temps rise Specks will take up residence on the flats. If the cool nights continue I think they’ll stay close creeks and deep water access. Same thing goes for Redfish, except it seems to require a south breeze and sunshine for them to bite.
Fishing the cooler water temps a Saltwater Assassin plastic will do the job very well. Use a light jighead, like 1/16oz Assassin so that you can work it slow. I like anything with pink in it for clear water. In slightly dirty water I put on a Chicken on a Chain and it worked as well. Ms. Lisa Hayes caught the real nice Trout in the photo with it.
Stay in touch, Thanks for checking in
GOD Bless and Good Fishing
