The winter is upon us but not really cold. We are having a mild winter so far, this is keeping the water temperature in the high 60 to low 70. The fishing in the 10,000 islands area is what I call “Pot Luck fishing”. What I mean buy that is we never know what different types of fish we will catch that day.
The bait of choice is a live shrimp or a scented rubber tail on a jig head. We usually fish this under a float witch suspends the bait to give it a natural presentation. This technique can be used by the most accomplished angler or the novice. Everybody catching fish!! The fish we are catching using this method are Redfish, Snook, BlackDrum, Seatrout, Jacks, Ladyfish, Pompano, Bluefish, Sheephead, Mangrove Snapper, and more often than not most all these fish we are catching every day we fish. Fishing is really good and will continue to be good while we are having a mild warm winter.
