I feel as though I keep repeating myself the last few weeks just the same as our weather. The best fishing has been in our rivers with live shrimp for bait. Most of the keeper fish are sheepshead and black drum. A few red fish are in the slot but most are under size but good fun on like tackle. On the change of tides is the best bite. The near shore rocks are holding sheepshead but wind and weather has kept most anglers inshore.
With a warming trend coming this weekend it may trigger a sea trout bite near the creek mouths and adjacent flats. Glow nose hooked jerk baits are the best choice for a soft plastic lure. The best retrieve is a twitch, twitch pause. Most strikes are during the pause part of the retrieve. Incoming tide will be early morning or late evening this weekend.
