March 2023 – Saltwater

When FWC announced last month extended closures of speckled trout, redfish, and snook, I was really excited. Here at Martin Family Charters, our main goal is to have fun and catch fish. In March, we did just that! We mixed it up, as we would fish for speckled trout, ladyfish, and Spanish mackerel in the morning, followed by targeting those tasty mangrove snappers in the afternoon. Most of our success came one of two ways. First, we’d use live shrimp under a popping cork on the flats. Then, we’d lower any bait whatsoever on wrecks, reefs, or under bridges. If the tides, weather, moonrise, or moonset were right it seemed like fishing was a piece of cake. However, like fishing goes sometimes we had to move from spot to spot trying desperately to do anything possible to catch fish. It wasn’t preferable, but even on one charter we ended up on a school of huge gaftop sail catfish! Anyway, hopefully those redfish and snook come to play in April, and we look forward to seeing you on the water. Thank you for reading!
