With saltwater fishing, the transition from Winter to Spring signifies a gradual warming of water, causing marine life to become more active, with fish moving closer to shorelines to feed, and increased breeding activity as the days become longer and sunlight penetration increases; essentially, the ecosystem “wakes up” after a period of relative dormancy during the colder winter months.
fish movement
As the water warms, fish that retreated to deeper waters during the winter will begin to migrate towards shallow flats, bays, and estuaries to access food sources.
feeding behaviors
During this transition, fish often become more active feeders which leads to better fishing opportunities as they replenish energy for spawning.
water temperature change
The most significant factor triggering this shift is the gradual increase in water temperature which will vary on location and weather patterns.
seasonal variations
The exact timing of the transition will vary on the specific region, but generally occurs around the time of spring equinox when daylight hours become longer.
location changes
Focus on areas like flats, grass beds, and shoreline structures where fish will congregate to feed and spawn.
