Spring into the Action

 Spring is upon us and its started out with a bang . Moderate temps in the evenings have kept our water temperatures in the 60's , which is right at norm for us .Current outside temps are going into the low 80's plus some.. These great water temps have the fish fired up. Reds are piled up in creeks to the big rocks at the Mayport inlet. Trout have schooled up in similar fashion in both the shallows of the creeks to down the edges of the St. John's River.Alot of really nice speckled trout are being caught on the deep edges of the St. John's River.Lots of bait starting to pile up at the Inlet at Mayport and the fish are beginning to zone in on the feed bag.Great numbers of bait mean lots of opportunties. Look for the reds,trout, black drum, sheepshead and the rest of the predators to hit the protein.The spanish mackeral are here in numbers and cobia are around. The kings and cudas should be here soon along with little Tuny's, Big Jacks and the rest of the striking fish! Its a great time to fish and the action has been hot and heavy! With the lack of small pesky bait stealers it makes for alot of action on good quality fish. Get up and get out!! Call me and lets go fishing!! The cobia fishing is about to get cooking. Don't wait to book before its too late.
