June 4 – 15
Our water has recovered from the large amount of rain we had in the first part of May and the redfish have returned to the backcountry creeks that they like to live in. Fishing the back country has been pretty predictable and productive. It has been so productive that I haven’t fished the Intracoastal waterway in a couple of weeks. We have been catching good numbers of redfish in the keeper size slot between 18” – 27” and averaging 2 – 3 fish a day over slot between 28” and 32”.
The black drum have been around in big numbers in the areas I’ve fished, but they have been mostly undersized. Some of the guides I’ve talked with have been having success on the Intracoastal with speckled trout, but for me to go trout fishing when the redfish bite is on is hard for me to do unless the customer insists on catching trout
