These areas continue to hold what I call “colder water than normal.” However, as I am writing the temperature is rising and as this happens a lot is going to change in regards to our fishing catching possibilities! The first thing that we need to happen is for the water temperature to reach a solid 60 degrees. My favorite water temperature is 65 degrees. It seems after the water reaches this number I seem to forget the whole “wanting a warming trend thing!” We are not there yet. So here are a few right now catching possibilities:
Sheepshead and black drum can be caught with fiddlers as bait while fishing over the wrecks offering any sort of vertical feeding. It’s best to anchor directly on the wreck and fish the edges with fiddlers. This is where you will find your strongest sheepshead and black drum bite. A few fishermen have been catching some nice black sea, which seemed to be mixed in and feeding with the sheepshead.
While anchored I suggest taking advantage of everything that is offering in the “hook up department!” If possible bring along some live mud minnows or finger mullet. These bait work great when rigged on jigs type lures with assist hooks attached. The secret is to lip hook your bait, place assist hook near the middle of the bait, cast place to the out skirts of the wreck that you are fishing over, let it sit right on the bottom, and then put your rod in the holder.
