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.

The cooler months in West Central Florida bring some opportunities for light tackle action for species not seen in bigger numbers the rest of the year. A member of the drum family just kind of arrives like a plague and if you know the areas to search for them, they will give you plenty of action when other fish may be in a “wintertime funk.” They’re also great for the dinner table. This fish is the whiting. Another easy target is the silver trout: One of the best fighters for their size class. Typically in the eleven to thirteen-inch length, a silver trout will pull out a little line from a spool before they’re cranked up. Fishing for whiting and silvers is a fun way to get into some nonstop action, especially if you’re taking kids fishing with you. Light tackle really adds to the fun.

BackCountry Fly Championship 2010
My cousin and I teamed up for the event and like always what a great tournament with the best of the best competition around without a doubt. The weather was tough and so was the fishing. Out of 2 days of fishing and 31 teams only 25 fish were scored. Both days were windy and Saturday afternoon was crazy windy. We toughed it out and fished hard and caught fish both days. The fish were being a little skittish but we had plenty of shots and capitalized on the redfish both days.

I love Southeast North Carolina for the seasons, but I’m really starting to get over this winter FAST! Man; up and down but mostly down as far as water and air temps go! The good news is we are in to March and hopefully it will start warming up soon. Just like the weather the fishing has been up and down lately; we have good days and slower days, for the most part we are catching a few fish. Let’s take a look at that in this weeks fishing report.

With all the cold rainy weather we have had this winter it is so nice to finally see some warm and sunny days in the forecast. I had some very good clients scheduled to go fishing this weekend and was very excited to get out on the water and see what the warmer weather would bring us. I had them meet me at the dock at 7:30 and I got there about a half hour early to enjoy the sunrise and actually feel the warmth in the morning air that was finally not below 40 degrees.
