Spring has sprung here in Florida….

We have definitely had some cold spells this winter, water was cold and fish were not active, the fishing had been a bit tough. We went out yesterday, weather was beautiful and the water is quickly warming up. Found a nice school of whitebait in the perfect 3” range, quickly got a livewell full with a  few throws of the next. We fished some of our inshore islands and I immediately hooked up with two huge snook that broke me off, time to change from 25# flouro. leader to something a bit heavier as I think our big snook have moved into the area. A little later in the day I lost another big snook, I think I went 0-5 on snook. I did catch a few Reds and a trout. My fishing partner got a nice snook and took home a couple of trout for fish tacos. Weather and fishing is definitely turning on here in the Tampa area.

Nice fish. You gotta love being able to use livies. I'll be down in Naples in May. Used to go every year, not so much anymore.

Sanibel should be on fire in May.
