Reeling in the Inshore Gems: A Thrilling Fishing Expedition

It was an early morning, but the perfect weather and water conditions made it worth getting out on the water with Christopher Irvin for a morning inshore fishing trip at San Marcos de Apalache Historic State Park. February is a great time to target fish like Black Drum, Spotted Seatrout, and Sheepshead in these shallow, protected inshore waters.

We started off with some live bait fishing, targeting the structure and grass beds where we knew the fish would be holding. It didn't take long before the action picked up, and Christopher was into his first fish—a nice Sheepshead that put up a great fight. He kept his cool, and we got it in the boat. That seemed to turn the bite on, and before long, he was hooked up again, this time with a feisty Spotted Seatrout. The fish were really fired up, and we continued picking away, adding a few more Seatrout and even a hefty Black Drum to the cooler.

Overall, it was just a really fun, productive morning on the water. The fish were cooperative, and we had a great time targeting them with light tackle. Between the steady action and the beautiful scenery, it was the perfect way to spend a morning. These inshore trips always have that special blend of great fishing and good company, and this one was no exception.
