When do the spanish start running good. Dont care much for eating them. Just like to bring my boys to the local pier with a gotcha lures and let them have fun catching them.

Last year I got into some in the sound April 5th. They were all small but they were there!

When you say the sound, do you mind me asking what part? I am in Navarre, thanks

The body of water between the mainland and the island. Iam also in Navarre and that is where I got them. They were busting bait at the back of a grass flat. Caught them on a silver spoon.

Last year while prefishing for the GCKFA tourney I saw some of the biggest Spanish I have ever seen jumping ot of the water after bait in the Navarre sound. I have caught them to 5 pounds, at least one of these was bigger - like 7-8 pound range. There were several smaller, but still big one in the area too. Seemed to be chasing large glass minnows.
