As the wind slammed the door on March, April began with warmer temperatures and positive hints of the quickly coming Spring season. Inshore the roosters, jacks, African pompano and pargo are all biting well along with the still thick sierra, even on the windy days, providing spring-like action for those choosing to remain in sight of land.

Who am I kidding? Even the billfish including sails and stripers are all only a few miles farther outside.
What's missing are the yellowfin tuna, skipjack and dorado that should be part of any self respecting Spring thaw.
