[dropcap]W[/dropcap]ell it’s that time of year when the fishing should start to turn around for the better. If we have warm days and no more crazy weather, the spring time patterns should start. The sheepshead (convict fish) should make their annual spawning cycle to the rigs in the bay and gulf. You should be able to catch them on a wide variety of baits live and dead (shrimp, squid cut bait). Try to use 20 #mono or braid and some pretty stout hooks as their mouths are super strong. These fish get big and some of them are definitely in the double digits. They fight hard and are decent table fair. The redfish bite has been pretty good, so look for it to only get better. The trout bite has been fair to good to bad, depending on your location and weather, but that will definitely be changing to awesome very soon. Be safe and screaming drags. Call and book your fishing adventure now before the schedule fills up.
