Our spring break season spans far beyond the one week that local schools are out. Families from around the country visit our area for an extended time in which I’ve run numerous children-oriented charters. For older teenagers, we’ve been snook fishing in the mangrove backcountry. Free-lining lively scaled sardines has been the ticket to connect. We’ve witnessed an increase in snook activity at the beginning of an incoming tide. For younger elementary-age groups, light duty bottom fishing has kept us from dealing with casting and wayward hooks flying around the boat. The young anglers have enjoyed catching sheepshead, snapper, sea bass and many juvenile grouper that must be released. Spanish mackerel also joined the mix when a flat line was fished off the transom. Recently, a first grader from the Chicago area outfished the rest of her family by putting enough black sea bass in the cooler to feed them all. She was especially tickled at the dolphin we found on our way in that rode with us jumping in our wake.
