The big females seem to have separated from the males in preparation for the spawn.

Redfish are scattered about the flats and mixed in with the snook of similar size. Cut thredfin herring are top baits for the live bait crowd you cant beat a sardine and a small pinfish is a close second. Gold or bronze spoons are perfect for tossing in and around the mullet schools.

Cobia have finally made a good push into the bay. Look on the backs of sting rays and manatee’s. Some of the places they are found you can fish form trout or mackerel with a chum bag out, this draws in the rays and the cobia follow waiting for the rays ton spook up an unsuspecting pinfsh or crab.
