Hello fellow anglers! 2010 has come and gone, and I'm looking forward to what's new on the horizon in the year ahead. I'll be scanning the water in 2011 looking for pushes, tails and birds working bait pods. I can hardly wait; it's going to be a great year.
It seems like spring is pretty far off, but really it's just around the corner. That's the nice thing about living in Florida; winter doesn't hang around long. But winter is here for the time being, so what's biting now?
There's white trout on the bridge along with some slot and out-of-slot reds big and small. If you're near the pass, look on your bottom machine for rocky ledges and drop-offs for sheepshead, black drum, and big and small redfish. If sight fishing for reds and catching trout in the winter is your New Year's resolution, then head up towards Escambia and Blackwater Bay, their brackish water mix holds hundreds of trout and loads of redfish.
I'll keep this report short, but keep checking back from time to time as the season progresses and warms up, and there should be more to talk about.
Till next time, enjoy life and take a little time to enjoy a day of fishing.
Tight Lines.
Capt. John
