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

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

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

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

Tarpon are one of the hardest fish to not only set the hook to but they are also extremely difficult to land. This is due to there hard mouths, acrobatic jumps and the will power they have to stay away from boat side. When targeting this species yo
