A Tough Week on the Gulf Florida's Gulf Coast - Windy weather has made for tough fishing conditions in the inshore Gulf, where tarpon normally can be targeted at this time of year. Snook also have been off their feed, and redfish have been scarce and spooky, but there are a few bright spots. Or specks, as it were. In the north, sheepshead are spawning in the surf and are sight-fishable, and glass minnows have attracted schools of Spanish mackerel to the jetties at the inlets. Along the Space coast, gator trout are spawning inshore, and large tripletail make for great action offshore.
