    I think that it depends on what you like to fish for. My favorite week is the first week of April because that CAN BE peak time for sheepshead . Pompano (my favorite fish to eat), Spanish mackerel, slot reds, speckled trout and cobia are usually around then.

    If you're big into king mackerel fishing, May is hard to beat.

    Weather is always hit/miss when it comes to spring storms.

    I would flip a coin to choose between the last week in April or the first week in May.
