08-19-11 RE: MANGROVE SNAPPER, LADYFISH, SPANISH MACKEREL, REDS AND SNOOK 

Winds are blowing out of the South at 1 - 2 mph and the water has a little chop.

Fishing remains the same. We have a good Mangrove Snapper bite going on, greenies, mojarra and shrimp are working well for anglers using those baits. Spanish Mackerel disappeared yesterday morning  but the Snapper bite was still good. Hope those Macks show up today; the water is right for them. Catch and release Snook and oversized Reds are still exhausting our inlet anglers and Ladyfish have gotten thick in the evening hours. Decent sized Jacks are darting around making a big fuss as they break up schools of bait fish. 

We have our typical summer weather pattern going on so if you hear thunder, it's time to get off the jetty or the beach. Do not stay on the jetty or beach during a thunderstorm. Always check the coastal forecast prior to going offshore and be sure to be in compliance with all regulations.
