Warmer Water and More Action

Fishing is picking up with the warmer temps or I should say the catching is picking up.. We went out from the Crystal River at Fort Island Park. We fished about 2 miles out from Shell Island on the high tide and caught Spotted Sea trout , Spanish Mackerel, Reds, Catfish, and a few Ladyfish. We worked the edges around the submerged sand bars with Shrimp until we ran out and then we switched to small pieces of cut Mullet. Low tide really put a damper on the action. Most everything was small, the only keepers we got were 3 Spanish Mackerel and one Sea trout, but we had plenty of action. It was a good start to the season.
