Florida Fishing Reports Outstanding Springtime Action In Full Swing!

Online, April 19, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Spring time action is in full swing. It's almost like which style of fishing should I do first. Offshore for sails, kings, dolphin, black fins, or inshore for tarpon. Should I fish the Inlets or in the Bay for the tarpon? The easiest decision to cover both is an afternoon/evening trip. The advantages are that you don't have to get up at oh dark thirty to get everything together and get out on the water at first light. You can take your time getting everything in order and still have plenty of fishing time.

Let's start offshore. The sails have been pouring through and are willing to eat most any of the popular baits. They are taking both kite and flat line baits so don't worry if you would rather not fool around with the kite. The kings are ravenous on most days. Some have been on the small size so make sure you measure them if in doubt. The dolphin have started to come through on a more regular basis. Don't forget, it's the spring and you don't have to make those long gas consuming runs offshore to find them.

Inshore, the tarpon are still consuming plenty of shrimp. The shrimp have been running on most nights on both tides. If you find shrimp in the water, the tarpon are not far behind. The action at the Inlets has been best during the dusk period and after dark. In the Bay it's been well after dark and the action has been fast and furious. Every trip that I've done at the Inlets and Bay have produced tarpon with the exception of one trip when despite my best efforts, the tarpon evaded me all evening long. There have also been large jack crevalle, Spanish mackerel, and good size mangrove snapper eating the baits while we wait on the tarpon to turn on.
