FISHING 11/21/2011
Surf anglers had a few days that were fishable and a few day that were not, but plenty of fish. The Blues have arrived along with the Mac’s and have made for some good fishing. Anglers casting spoons had plenty of takers. Anglers casting cut bait had plenty of takers also; you just had to find their zone. Casting a spoon you cover the area, cut bait you have to pay attention. Cast out your bait and give it some time then move it in, once you get the strike you have to cast back to that area that is the zone. Plenty of Jacks and yes there were some pompano, but for them you needed to spend a lot of time finding their zone. Pompano have been there early and late but not for very long, they have been on the move. Anglers pay attention to the way they are moving and you move the same direction, north or south just get ahead of them. Favored bait has been sand fleas, anything else the Blues and Mac’s will eat so stick with the fleas. Now if we just can get a few days in with out the big surf of weed mats we can have a fish fry.
Wind has kept most anglers on the east side of the river, great Trout bite they know the season is closed but the Red Fish bite has been as strong. From Nettles Island north to Round island lots of Red Fish.
The Spoils north of North Bridge provide shelter from the wind and some excellent conditions for the Reds.
From Bear Point south to Nettles, lots of Reds, best part is they are chewing, live baits soft rubber and spoons all are getting attention. Problem, Blues, Mac’s, Jacks and Lady fish are all there and just as hungry so bring some extra baits you will use them. Pompano in the Sail Fish Flat and at the bridges, not a lot but still enough to keep your attention, no special time you just have to be there. Snook anglers do not mind the wind and busy water, Flair Hawks all week in the low light, plenty of fish, just a few in the slot.
Till next week will some body please turn off the wind weapon……………………………Henry
