Nearshore Reef Fishing in April

As the weather warms up in April, sheepshead, black sea bass, and black drum become more active on nearshore reefs. Using live fiddler crabs on a Carolina rig can be an effective way to catch these species. When the ocean is rough, fishing in the creeks for trout and redfish can be a good alternative. Topwater plugs are a great way to target redfish in low-light conditions, such as early mornings or late evenings.
