Big Bend Fishing Report – Captain Greg DeVault
Folks, if you’ve been waiting on the Big Bend to turn on… it’s here, and it’s not slowing down anytime soon.
The topwater bite has been nothing short of electric. Early mornings have been producing explosive strikes from quality speckled trout and aggressive redfish across the flats. There’s nothing quite like watching a fish blow up on a topwater plug in skinny water, and right now, it’s happening day in and day out. If you enjoy visual, heart-pounding fishing, this is your window.
As we roll deeper into spring, we’re also seeing a strong push of migrating species moving through our waters. Cobia are starting to show up consistently—cruising the flats, following rays, and giving anglers a true sight-fishing opportunity. Tripletail are beginning to stack up on crab trap buoys and floating structure, and they’ve been eager to eat a well-placed bait.
And it wouldn’t be the Big Bend this time of year without the silver kings starting to make their presence known. Tarpon are beginning to trickle in, and over the next few weeks, that bite is only going to get stronger. If tarpon fishing is on your list, now’s the time to start planning.
The bait situation is improving by the day, with schools of baitfish flooding the flats and fueling this aggressive feeding pattern we’re seeing across all species.
Looking ahead, all signs point to this strong bite holding steady straight through May. Water temperatures are climbing into that perfect range, and everything is lining up for some of the best fishing of the year.
If you’ve been thinking about getting on the water, don’t wait—this is what we look forward to all year long here in the Big Bend.
