The backcountry fishing  in Florida bay has been very consistent this year and more fish starting to show in the past weeks.

Fishing in the creek mouths this week we found snook,redfish,big trout and small tarpon. Shoreline casting has produced redfish,shark,snapper and jacks. Casting with 10 lb spin and baiting with Berkley gulps, shrimp and some top water...

Also the water temps are staying on the high side for this time of year. Shoreline casting has bee...

Florida Bay Fishing Report 02.10.12

Anglers Paul and Barb hooked up on the first casts and the action was quite steady all day. Fished sea trout first and found average keeper fish 18"up to and over 22"with some big lady fish mixed in. We had our limit of trout in a few drifts over the grass beds. Moving along w...
