Here we are in the middle of winter and the weather is more like springtime this year. As the warm, mild conditions continue, the fishing has continued to be fantastic out on the water. A wide variety of fish are being caught both offshore and inshore by anglers. It's been a wonderful and productive month!
The trout bite continues to be very good in three to five feet of water. DOA CAL jerk baits in Arkansas Glow has been very productive on the trout. We have fished the west shore to the south of Fort Pierce with good success. Redfish are still hanging on the flats and around the mangroves. CAL grub tails are good artificial lures for redfish in winter.
The spanish mackerel have moved back into the turning basin and channel. Shiny lures are the best for those fish. Work them fast to get your results. Pompano have been heavy in the inlet this week. Most are using jigs tipped with clams, but Doc's Goofy Jigs also work great on the pomps.
Sheephead and black drum are around the bridges and structure this time of year and many anglers have been targeting them with live or dead shrimp. It's been a lot of fun out there and you have a good variety of species to fish for....especially when the weather has been so cooperative!
To the angler who loves to fish the beaches, shores, jetties, bridges and piers of Florida.
