Spring Break is over; and reflecting back on the past 5 weeks I have to say it was totally awesome! I had some great clients and lots of fun fishing each day with almost perfect weather on each trip. My biggest sheepshead on the boat this year was 23 inches with an estimated weight around 7 lbs; our biggest redfish was 42" and close to 30 lbs. We even got into the jacks on the beach a few times and I plan to go after more the first chance I get. April and May are two great months for Jack Crevalle. I always enjoy watching my clients go to battle with the jacks, and they can't believe the fight these fish give. I tell them that pound for pound, Jacks are the strongest inshore species, hands down.

Not only will I be fishing for jacks on the beach in April, but also I'll be hitting the flats for trout and redfish.

Spring 2012 has started off great. Stay tuned for more action-packed fishing from Mega-Bite Inshore Charters.
