A little help on the gulf side of FL

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Umm, the stingrays are SUPER easy. Any cut bait on the bottom in the gulf or bay would most certainly catch you a ray.

Look for bonnetheads on the grass flats in the spring. I see them all of the time wading, theyll come right up to you. They too will eat pretty much anything but toss em a little crab or large shrimp on a circle hook with a little trace of wire and youre golden.
 
I know, Im not too far to the west of you. Hell, last Friday, Santa Rosa Sound was a stupid cold 46 degrees!! Most everything is well offshore right now. Another month and a half or so and it should be on. By late March when Im on the flats is when I really see the bonnetheads.

Then what do you fish for? Redfish? Never went out on flats before, mainly have been pier fishing.

Redfish and trout. Occasionally will see black drum, spanish mackerel and pompano. I mainly kayak fish offshore now and run charters from Pensacola to Destin.

St Pete is a hell of a drive from PCB!

If you're looking for bonnets, just find the blue crabs and the bonnets will be there.

Well there are tons and tons of blue crabs so that can be a little vague.
