What's Biting at Wine Island
Activity ratings reflect typical feeding seasons — not legal seasons. Regulations, closures, and size/bag limits change; always check current LDWF regulations before keeping any fish.
Redfish
Sciaenops ocellatus
Season: Year-round, best in fall
Baits: Cut mullet, Live shrimp, Gold spoons
Sight-fish tailing reds on shallow flats on a flooding tide. Fall schools push bait against oyster bars and grass edges.
Spotted Seatrout
Cynoscion nebulosus
Season: Year-round, best in cooler months
Baits: Live shrimp under a popping cork, Soft plastics, Topwaters
Drift grass flats in 2–6 feet with a popping cork ahead of the drift. Gator trout hunt alone in skinny water at dawn.
Southern Flounder
Paralichthys lethostigma
Season: Spring and fall; the fall run to the passes is the event
Baits: Live mud minnows, Finger mullet, Gulp! shrimp on a jig head
Drag a bait slowly along the bottom at channel edges, jetty rocks and the down-current side of structure on an outgoing tide. In the fall, flounder stack in passes and inlets on their way to the Gulf or ocean; fish the drop-offs then.
Black Drum
Pogonias cromis
Season: Fall through spring; big drum run the passes in late winter
Baits: Blue crab halves, Dead shrimp, Clams
A bottom fish that feeds by feel, so scent beats action: crab or shrimp on a fish-finder rig, left still on a channel edge, jetty or bridge. The late-winter run of 30-plus pound drum through Gulf and Atlantic passes is a shore-fishable event; keep the small ones, release the big breeders.
Sheepshead
Archosargus probatocephalus
Season: Winter – early spring
Baits: Fiddler crabs, Shrimp, Barnacles
Fish tight to pilings and rocks — the bite is a subtle tick. Set the hook the instant you feel weight; they steal baits for a living.
