Capt. Dave Pecci5-Day Outlook as of 3/18/24
Turning the corner into warmer spring conditions now. The first of the migrating tarp have arrived.
Techniques & Tips as of 3/18/24
Warming water and longer days mean the snook and reds will be out on the flats and along the mangrove points. Blind cast to edges and potholes when the visibility is low. Tarpon usually show up first on the deeper sand flats of the Harbor's East wall. Drift or slowly cruise looking for them layed up in 6-10' of water.
Current Conditions as of 3/18/24
Water clarity and levels will good. Moderate to light winds and mostly dry conditions will make for very good fishing.Local Species Available January - May
