The water has started to warm slightly which has brought the sea bass a little closer to shore. Instead of having to travel 20 miles minimum, some fish can be caught around the 13 to 15-mile range. Some other fish on the new shore reefs such as ringtail porgies are plentiful also. Bottom fishing for vermilion snapper, triggerfish, red porgy, and Almaco jacks is good outside 40 miles. For those who like the big game fishing, there is some wahoo around, but fishing should only improve between now and March.
