Because I spend so much of my time fishing small soft plastics and finesse hard baits in pressured waters… I have found a real need for a reliable, light-weight, and sturdy saltwater spinning reel. I finally discovered this need last fall when Daiwa sent me the new TD Fuego3000A spinning reel to be field tested.
This winter has served up some really harsh weather conditions… but the fish have still been biting! March is a whole new month and it could be a totally different game weather wise… (or at least we can hope so). Reds should continue to stay schooled up, at least until water temps significantly start to rise and that most likely won’t be until April. Continue to look for reds in shallow areas that have a darker mud or oyster laden bottom. On clear days the sun will warm the water a few degrees in those areas making a great spot for the reds to hang out and warm up a bit. Bait (mullet, minnows, shrimp) will also hold in these “hot” spots and it’s common knowledge that the reds will be in the same areas the bait is. [Read Full Article]
New Port Richey Fishing Charter
As I sat at the dock last Monday waiting on my charter clients to get ready, I could feel the warm rays from the sun starting to heat up my jacket. It took me by surprise as it had been a long time since I have not needed a jacket while I was on the water. As we started out the channel of the Cottee river in New Port Richey the day was looking very promising. I had I long time client with me today and for the first time his girlfriend had agreed to come with us. With the low tide we had we decided to fish out of my Ranger Banshee so we could access some schools of redfish that had moved up on the flats the last few days to enjoy the warm sun also.
