My apologies for the time lapse since my last report. I had a little problem with the cord which downloads the pictures to the cameras. All is good now.

The weather is the big story. When is it going to turn nice and stay nice? The fish are here, but the changes in the pressure with each front makes it tough to stay on top of them. For those of you who like to chase Redfish, the most consistent fishing is in coves and basins where the weather changes do not effect them that much. Usually this time of year our water temperature is 5 to 7 degrees warmer and you can have great sight fishing on the open flats, but with the fronts this year it has really sent the fish to find stable water. I do feel like we are only a week or two away from some warm weather.
The Trout fishing has been hit or miss over the last week depending on the weather. On the coldest days the Trout are holding better in 5-7 feet of water on a hard edge.
The Sheephead fishing is really good, though I had a couple of kids out last week and had trouble with catching them a whole bunch of Sheephead. I did go out the next day and really got into them good with a half dozen over 4lbs and a total of two dozen fish in a hour. We have caught a couple of Black Drum while Sheephead fishing which helps mix it up.

The weather forecast is for it to be warmer with less wind, so my next report should be a little better. Tight Lines.
