| 09-16-11 FRIDAY: BLACK DRUM, RED DRUM, SNOOK, LADYFISH, MANGROVE SNAPPER, JACKS AND ATLANTIC SPADE We have another gorgeous, hot day ahead of us today. Winds are blowing out of the Southwest at 4 mph and there is a light ripple on the water. The Doctors, Lawyers, Weekend Warriors Surf Contest has been moved to Cocoa Beach today due to lack of waves. The contest may be held at the inlet tomorrow depending on the surf. Beware of the jellyfish that are still pretty thick in the water if you head to the inlet today. We got a nice update from Mike on the activity on the north jetty. Mike reported that the Black Drum bite was coming on strong and are actually hitting better than the Red Drum now. Both are taking live and dead shrimp and biting on incoming and outgoing tides. Some of the better anglers are limiting out on Black Drum at 5 per day. The slot for Black Drum is 14" - 24" but an angler may possess one that is larger than 24". A couple of keeper Snook came over the rails in the morning hours and Chuck Fischer of Satellite Beach landed his second keeper of the season while free lining live shrimp on the incoming tide. Jacks, Ladyfish and Atlantic Spadefish were coming over the rails as well. Thanks for the update Mike! |  |
