Vehicle Details
The inshore bite in Suwannee is heating up as we move deeper into spring. Warmer water temps in the low to mid-70s have brought steady action across the flats, creeks, and grassy shorelines. Redfish have been cruising the edges of oyster bars and pushing into shallow pockets during higher tides. Live shrimp under popping corks and soft plastics on jig heads are both producing solid results. Spotted Sea Trout are showing up in good numbers along the grass flats and drop-offs, especially during the early morning and late afternoon. Anglers drifting with live bait or slow-twitching artificial lures are finding success. Slot-sized trout are common right now, with a few larger fish mixed in. Sheepshead are still around structure like docks and rock piles, especially in slightly deeper channels. Fiddler crabs and small shrimp are your best bet. Black Drum and Flounder are also making appearances in the backwater areas, offering added variety. Expect Spanish Mackerel and Pompano to become more active near the river mouth and coastal edges as bait schools move through. Tripletail sightings are increasing around floating debris and channel markers, so keep a rod ready. Overall, May is shaping up to be a strong month for inshore fishing in Suwannee. Whether you're casting from a skiff or poling the flats, conditions are right for a productive day on the water.
Didn't fish long Sunday but too nice a day to not go. Didn't find much either in the creeks nor on the flats but we got some nice quality ones that we did get in the two hours we fished. Water is warming up and the fish are on the move out of the creeks. It's confused times once again.
