Hubbard’s Marina Fishing Reports

Inshore Fishing Report Sheepshead remain one of the most dependable targets right now. Work docks, bridges, jetties, and rock piles with small pieces of shrimp, fiddler crabs, or oyster/clam, using minimal weight and keeping your bait tight to the structure. Trout are still producing well, especially around edges, potholes, and deeper flats during the day, […]

Inshore Fishing Report Inshore has been a mixed bag in the best way possible — and the front should actually help many of our wintertime targets.

Inshore Fishing Report This past week we finally had a decent weather window to fish around this past mid work week. During that short window, the hogfish cooperated well, and we also saw a nice push of sea bass, plus steady lane snapper. Expect lanes to improve most when you slide a bit deeper too. […]

Inshore Fishing Report Due to the strong front this weekend, Sheepshead should be the target right now because you don’t have to get out in the boat to target them.

During the day, target edges, potholes, and transition zones on flats, mangrove shorelines, and oyster bars. Live shrimp, […]
