Feb 10 – 16
This week the fishing has been great! Monday brought light winds, bright skies and temps in the 70’s! The fish were turned on and we had a really good day with redfish between 4 – 6 lbs. The black drum were 2 – 8 lbs and sheepshead from 2 – 8 lbs.
Tuesday brought a little cold front on the way. When we left the dock it looked like it was going to be a really nice day. By the time we started back it was overcast, foggy and cold with a 20 knot wind. Evidently the fish knew the cold front was coming in, because the bite was going OFF. We finished the day with around a dozen redfish, plenty of back drum and sheepshead between 2 – 10 lbs.
All these fish have come off hard bottom drop-offs in 6 –10 feet of water. This is the only time of year that we have sheepshead in the back country in these numbers. The place to find them is on these hard bottom drop-offs, which just so happens to be holding the redfish and black drum as well. When I got back on the water on the weekend I went back to fishing the same pattern as the first of the week with the same results – good numbers of really nice fish.
Next week the weather forecast is for an extended warm up and I expect a week of some really awesome fishing. From now through April is my favorite time of year. The fishing is GREAT, my customers happy and my job easy!
