Welcome to TheFishingReport.com Forum

May has been a great month for redfish. Despite a week of frustrating southeast winds, my clients had a blast catching upper slot redfish in the backwaters around Jacksonville and St Augustine. There is a ton of bait in the creeks which have the redfish stuffing themselves with small shrimp, minnows, crabs and mullet. I've been keeping it simple with mud minnows on a ¼ oz jig. Cast along the oyster beds, wait a couple seconds for a "thump", set the hook and have fun.
I was fortunate to fish with a few of my favorite clients on Mothers day. Todd, Kelly and Cindy Stacy spent a perfect morning catching and releasing several nice upper slot redfish. Cindy was treated for Mothers day with 2 reds in the 26" inch range on light tackle. Good times!

Trout have been showing up both in numbers and size.
