Big Bend Inshore Fishing Report – Post Cold Front
The recent cold front cooled things off, but the rebound bite has been strong across the Big Bend. As water temps climbed back into the 60s, redfish and trout fired right back up.
Redfish have been stacked in creeks on low tides and pushing onto the flats as water rises. Cut bait, shrimp, and gold spoons have all been producing.
Trout started the week deep but are now feeding over grass in 2–4 feet. Twitch baits and soft plastics under a cork are getting it done, especially midday.
We’re seeing solid action around Steinhatchee, Keaton Beach, Perry, and Dekle Beach, with fish staging in creeks and adjacent flats.
Outlook: With warming temps and stronger tides, the bite is only getting better. Spring fishing in the Big Bend is just getting started—and now’s the time to be here.
