With this last month of consistent warm air and water temperatures spring has really brought a hot inshore bite on the southwest coast of Florida. The Spring like the Fall season is a big transition period for most inshore species. As the weather and water temperatures warm up inside bays and along the intercostal Snook, Reds, Tarpon, Trout and Cobia begin to move from their winter holes back onto grass flats, mangrove shorelines, beaches, passes and bridges. These species be

Winter is in full swing in south Florida and these fronts have brought some record temperatures along with snow in parts of north Florida. These freezing temperatures have made fishing somewhat difficult for certain inshore species. Unfortunately, there were small fish kills throughout parts of Florida but thankfully it wasn't anywhere near the devastating freeze we had a few years back. The population of a lot of the inshore species have come back stronger then ever since th

The cool weather has found its way to south Florida and the inshore fishing has been tremendous. This transition period and time of the year is one of my favorite when targeting the backcountry with artificials. Snook, trout, and redfish are all the main targeted species but you can find a lot of Juvenile tarpon as well. By now the fish have moved to there spots and areas where they will stage up for the winter time. These areas are going to be flats, mangroves, residential

We are officially in the Fall season. What this means for inshore anglers is simply the change in weather patterns. Water and air temperatures slowly begin to drop as everything cools off and fish species begin to move backcountry. These backcountry areas like canals, docks, mangroves and grass flats consist of areas with deeper and darker water that holds the heat better. Many fish species such as Tarpon, Snook, Reds, Trout and flounder congregate to these areas and stage u

With Summer slowly coming to an end the targeted inshore species for most anglers begin to change. Tarpon have began to move offshore to spawn and most female snook have left the beaches and passes. With seasons slowly changing this time of the year is all about flats fishing. Snook begin to move back to the grass flats and mangroves to fatten up for the fall and winter conditions. Tarpon, more so juveniles begin to make the same move moving towards residential canals, dock

Most saltwater anglers look forward to the warm summer months to experience some awesome fishing both inshore and offshore. This time of the year is super popular for species such as tarpon and snook as they migrate and begin spawning. However, fishing is great for many species during this season for both inshore and offshore anglers. Redfish and trout are just as abundant in the same areas as some of these snook and tarpon. In the later summer months redfish will even beg
