April 2011 Fishing Forecast
Not only do the boys of summer throw their first pitch to start the 2011 MLB season, but the fishing in the Clearwater and Dunedin area kicks up another notch. April and May could be the best time to go fishing on the West Coast of Florida.
The perfect scenario would be, temperature in the middle 70’s and bait fish showing up in the bays. Pick your species of fish to chase, net up some white bait and go for it.
Redfish: They will be scattered throughout the mangroves and oyster bar shore lines. You will need a high tide to get up close to the mangroves and search lots of areas. Use your white bait and chum a little, this should get their attention.
Trout: Look for moving water in the bays with a grass and sand bottom. Chose a spot were your flat is next to deeper water, the trout like to set up on the edge and pick off their food. Toss out your baits under a float and keep it next to the shallows.
Snook: The snook will be on their way to the beaches and passes in late April. You may find them at the spoil islands or in the shallows near the passes. Here on the West Coast, the population is a lot less than it was, but still worth your time and effort when one is hooked. Be nice and get them back in the water, we need every snook for spawning.
Other targeted species will be tarpon, kingfish, cobia and plenty of mackerel in the bays.
Mark your calendars, take time off from work, play hooky, or call in sick. But get out there and join in the best time of the year to go fishing.

I feel this is the best way in which one can get to know more about fishing charters and other areas is to look for more and more of such kind of business.
