It’s springtime and most of the fish are thinking about reproducing.  And like most people, fish think it’s fun to eat before during and after the act.  With that said, the largemouth bass are bedding or protecting their kids.  Plastic worms, creature baits and bluegill imitation lures are great artificial baits.  The crappie are hitting on minnows, maribou jigs and road runners.  the blue gill and bream are hitting on crickets, worms and beetle spins.  The Catfish are eating everything from cut bait to chicken livers.

Salt water fishing is a little slow except for offshore fishing.  Some redfish are being caught inshore, plus stripers and sea mullet.

Remember to take a kid fishing and pick up your trash.  It’s ok to call in sick and go fishing.
