Spring has sprung
The inshore fishing has been improving by leaps and bounds the last few weeks. Early and brisk cold fronts in October completely squashed some of the best Snook and redfish action of the year. The water temperatures of Gasparilla sound and Charlotte harbor have been steadily increasing since mid- December, and this has moved the fish to exhibit spring time patterns.
Instead of taking refuge from the cold in the creek and canal systems, the saltwater gamefish have moved to the barrier islands and spoil islands on the western edges of the inshore waters. The presence of forage baitfish has given them a food source while they enjoy spring break.
