With the first cold front of the year upon us, fishing is likely going to change over the next few days. Sailfish activity has been increasing lately in 120′ to 150′ of water, and that is likely to jumpstart with the cooler temps. Dolphin have been active a bit further out in about 300′ of water as well. Pompano fishing has been hit or miss. but cooler temps usually generate better catches, so things should improve as soon as the surf calms a bit. Snook fishing in the inlets has been productive, mostly on live Croakers. Inshore, Snook have been pretty active along shorelines, and plenty of Jack Crevalle in canals blasting bait. Redfish activity is on the rise, and the cooler weather should lead to some clearer water, leading to better sight fishing conditions. Seatrout have also been pretty active, taking soft plastics along drop offs with current flow. Good luck out there.
