Hello Everybody!
May is here already! I cannot believe how fast these years are flying by. I hope you are spending time with your family and friends out on the water. May is, and always has been, my busiest month out of the year, and I surely am glad to see everyone out, spending time making memories. With this time of the year, there will always be an extra idiot or two also out on the water. I can call them idiots because I am 99.9% positive these fools can’t read. Anyway, please watch out for them and give each other plenty of space.
Let’s talk fishing. I am writing this forecast in the middle of April, and every minute that goes by, more and more targeted fish species are swimming into our keys. Tons of bait everywhere, so make sure you have an arsenal with you. If you can pick up some fresh mullet, I highly recommend this for you redfish hunters. A nice bite-size chunk, sitting on the bottom around the grasses and oysters, should put up a good fight. If you are working the more open waters for trout and mackerel, those live big minnows are to die for. Fish those under your favorite color Cajun Thunder. Last and my favorite, the Tripletail. If you are spot and stalking these beasts, all you need is a 2/0 or 3/0 hook through the bottom and upper lips of your live minnow. Get a little meat on the hook so it doesn’t rip off easily, but not too much where you kill it. If you toss this close by, it’s all but over unless you are that friend who can’t NET THE FISH ALREADY! We know who that friend is; we all have one. Well that about wraps it up. I hope what I wrote helps your day in some way.
Take a kid fishing!
