March 2026 Fishing Report

As Spring is here and the 80 degree days are more common our waters are heating up.

When we have good weather days to fish the inshore bite for sheepshead and mangrove snapper is pretty good.

On the reefs and ledge it is a great time for cobia on the schools of bull sharks if you can find the right piece of the ledge. I am hoping that the 2 years of new cobia regulations make for some huge keepers over the next few years if you can pull them past the tax man in the grey suits.

Here at Nauti Girl Sportfishing we are working hard for the proposed Federal Red Snapper season starting ~ the end of May as we are switching to Piscifun Alijoz 300 and 400 reels on some very limber slow pitch rods. These setups should give my anglers more sensitivity but great drag to fight the big sow red snappers.

For the 2026 Season we have installed (2) new Simrad NSS Evo 3 MFD units and a Sionyx Nightwave low light camera system. This will make coming and going in the dark much more safer.

We also bought a ACR 406 MHz Epirb for safety and peace of mind on those long Gulf Stream days.

We do have some fun upcoming social media events- we are filming some drone boat footage on a few fun trips in April. We also taking Local Country recording artist Tom Jackson on a jetties snook trip and a possible Hot Babes fishing influencer offshore trip is upcoming.

So all in all we have a busy spring ahead but plenty of available dates for your upcoming Red Snapper trip or try a Big Shark-cobia trip.
