April Brown blast

[Nailer]

Next year if all goes well, we may try the Brown Blast in St Joe.

I have never fish that early in the year.

My understanding is, to fish in tight with stick baits.

Whats your favorite set up for early spring?

Thanks.

The Brown Blast is fun, I think that it is going to be the second weekend of april this year.

We normaly run orange j-11 and stinger scorpions, malibu barbie, killer tangerine, gin and tonic has been productive.

Same as in the summer works for me ,2.5 to 2.7 on the gps.

This is a great tournament. We've been lucky enough to finish 2nd the last 2 years. We like Thin Fins, orange flashers w/peant flies, and Hot n tots for the coho. Stick baits mostly for the browns, but the coho stuff works for them also. Fish anywhere as long as its south in 5 to 20fow. Last year only 1 brown was even caught, but I think the year before it was 27. We weighed 4 coho and a 16# king last year for big fish that just beat out a 15#er so be prepared for anything. 2 years ago a 12# steelhead was caught that jumped back out of the cooler by some freinds.

In spring in tight I like 2.2-2.7mph on GPS. I like using pearl and green, or pearl and blue thundersticks. I like fishing 25 FOW top ten feet.

From The st Joe north pier I head south to the chalets, and turn inside and run back north repeat as necessary
