Big Bend Florida Fishing Report – Spring Bite is On Fire 
Just another day in the Big Bend… and it’s exactly what spring fishing is all about.
As we settle firmly into spring along Florida’s Big Bend, those warm south winds are doing their job—keeping water temps up and fish feeding aggressively across the flats. Conditions right now are setting up perfect for consistent inshore action, and it’s showing every trip.
Today’s trip was a blast with one of my favorite groups of guys. We kicked things off targeting shallow water in the 1–2 foot range over spotted bottom, drifting with the wind and covering water. Throwing 5” Bass Assassin soft plastics, we stayed tight on a steady bite of speckled trout and redfish.
As the tide pushed in and water levels rose over the oyster bars and rocky edges, the bite shifted exactly like it should this time of year. We set up on structure and switched to suspending MirrOdines along with Bass Assassin Lil’ P&V under a popping cork. That change paid off big—putting multiple redfish in the boat along with some quality gator trout.
This is classic Big Bend spring fishing—moving water, aggressive fish, and multiple patterns producing throughout the day.
If you’ve been thinking about booking a trip, now is the time. The spring window is short, and the bite we’re seeing right now is exactly what anglers wait all year for.
