March 17 - 19

Inshore

Here’s the rundown for mid-March. Things seem to be popping off early this year, or rather on time— the past few years everything has seemed to run behind a few weeks.

The redfish bite around the pass has been consistent, but the flats around Destin left much to be desired this past week. Flounder are still around sporadically in the pass and harbor. Surprisingly, there’s been several large tarpon rolling in the harbor. I’ve personally seen several in the 80-100lb range.

The Spanish mackerel are here and thick! The morning bite has been better than the afternoon. They can be found everywhere from Crab Island to Henderson Beach and everywhere in between.
