It was a late start considering the time of day. It was an early start considering what time I wake up. I got on the water in the early afternoon. It was a beautiful day today with murky water in some places and clear water in other. After a short trip through the intra-coastal waterway I quickly made it out to 3-rooker. I thought I saw my buddy Tyler in is Pathfinder so I decided to head out to where he might have been going, out to three rooker to enjoy the beautiful beach. Upon arrival and after a short drive down the rows of boats moored along the beach I realized he wasn’t out there. While driving I saw a boater catch a nice trout. I looked into the water in the area, “scouting” as they call it to see whatever I could see. I thought for sure snook were starting to arrive on the beaches for their spawn. After trying to catch them for a while with no luck I still thought they were snook. I was telling everyone who was fishing in the area, hey, there are snook over here. After a short while a couple boys walked over and started fishing with me. We tried for a while to catch them to no avail. It wasn’t until about 5 in the afternoon when the bite started to turn on. Stephen, the boy who got the spot figured out, who also asked if he could use my cast net to catch bait, finally hooked into a nice speckled trout. Thankfully he caught all the pinfish we needed to slay ’em. From there it was one after another. It was a great day of fishing with some really great people.

The snook and redfish red tide harvest ban is officially lifted by midnight tonight according to the state regulatory agency’s website. Redfish will soon be a fish you can take home again, but snook will remain closed due to the regular closure during their summer spawn. I was lucky enough to catch a nice slot redfish today just outside the mouth of Continue reading Schooling Redfish in Early March in Dunedin, Florida
Boating in Dunedin, March 10, 2018
The tide is super high right now. Should be a decent outgoing. Who knows what will happen. The weather is nice; the water is warming, the breeze is cool, the wildlife are already letting me know they’re here. A couple big great blue heron just buzzed my boat feet away in flight. I’m gonna have to find some protection with the stiff breeze on this flat bottom boat. If nothing else this will be to run the motor so I know it works on days that get planned. If nothing else I’ll drop more iphone pics later.
Hooked a big redfish today. The timing was off, but the results were fantastic. Video and info coming soon. Putting away the boat now. Check back to see how it all went down.
