08-18-11 THURSDAY: MANGROVE SNAPPER, SPANISH MACKEREL, REDS, SNOOK, JACKS AND LADYFISH
The wind is barely moving out of the Southeast at 1 -2 mph and there is a light chop on the water. It's already heating up due to lack of wind.
The catches remain consistent and the same species have been showing up. We received an update from inlet regular Mike of Vero Bech who fished the north jetty yesterday morning. Mike reported about 20 Mangrove Snapper, a dozen or so Spanish Mackerel and two oversized Reds. Some of the Snapper were caught on live greenies and the Reds were landed on shrimp and greenies. Snook were visible cruising through the clear water and an occasional school of 2 -3 lb Jacks would come by and bust through the schools of greenies and hook up with whatever bait was in the water at the time. Thanks for the update Mike, good to have you back on the jetty!Last night Ladyfish were thick according to Walton at the Bait and Tackle Shop.
To the angler who loves to fish the beaches, shores, jetties, bridges and piers of Florida.
