Water tempatures are rising on the southern gulf coast.
With the water temps rising to around 70 degrees fishing has started to improve in our area. Anglers fishing with me out of CB’s have had some decent action fishing with live bait. Sheepshead, snapper, have provided most of the action as well as some large jacks. We also caught and released a few snook as well.
Hopefully this year we will not see a repeat of last years red tide and our fisheries will be able to recover. I’d really like to stress the importance of releasing most of our gamefish as they are the future of fishing in our area.
