Hey Panhandle fishing friends! April is here and the fish are chompin! Hopefully the weather is nice because everything starts to show up this month! A typical rule to fish by is when the dogwoods start blooming the king mackerel are not far behind! I will target them by bump trolling live baits around the nearshore wrecks and buoys! If you are bottom fishing make sure to always have a freeline bait out the back, it is a necessity! If you decide you want to troll for them, stretch baits and yo zuris work excellent! Triggerfish is open and can be caught on mostly any wreck you decide to fish or any live bottom. They literally eat anything so keep dropping baits and you will catch them! Typically April is a big month for Cobia. They can be caught by sight fishing, live baiting, or pitching jigs. Always keep a pitch bait ready in case a curious Cobia comes wandering up to the boat looking for food! Vermillion Snapper will be biting on live bottom and wrecks as well. April is a great month for lots of different species! Time to start spending hours on the water woth tight lines! Lets go get em yall!
