Trout season opened on the 1st of January and it's starting out to be a fantastic one at that. We are catching a lot of trout and some nice big ones. The cold fronts are swinging down just about every week. That means we have a couple days of cold weather and then 4 or 5 days of very nice weather. Today is a cold day with temp in the mid 40 in the mornings and upper 60 in the afternoon. Tomorrow will be back up to the low to mid 70's....very nice with a bright sunny day.
We are back to the time of the year that we catch a mix bag of everything. This is fun cause you never know what might hit your line. Maybe something as small as a mangrove snapper or how about something as big as a 50lb blackdrum....even better than that what about a tarpon that comes skyrocketing out of the water. It can be pretty exciting sometimes.
What we are catching now and what we expect to catch in the next couple months.....Trout-season is open....snook-season is closed (catch/release only)......redfish-season is open....pompano-open....mackerel-open....bluefish-open...blackdrum-open.....sheepshead-open....tarpon-catch/release only....mangrove snapper-open....ladyfish, jacks, sharks etc.
Looks like it is going to be a great season.
Don't forget the Seafood Festival the first weekend in Feb. This is a great time to come to Everglades City for lots of fun and a great time to fish also. So make your plans now to join in on the fun at the Everglades City Seafood Festival
