A beautiful week of sunshine and temperatures that are easy to live with, along with that came the sea breezes keeping most happy. Problem, breeze, wind would be a better decryption, from the east at 17mph has made the seas less than polite, put chop on the river and made the surf a hard scene. But what can I say other than it has made some beautiful days just hard on anglers.
Surf has been real hard scene and the Snook fishing has been red hot. This species likes a strong current and they have been eating any thing that swims, best part is they have been slot fish. Yes, you are going to get wet, you will be casting north and south these fish are in the trough just waiting for the surf to over power little fish and you need to be there, Bombers, Krystal minnow, DOA Baitbuster will get their eye, if your bait stops set the hook. Still some Blues on cut baits, Pompano in and out all day eating clams and sand fleas, lots of fish at the beach guys, come on down.
East wind means east bank of the Indian River, look for the flat water that is where the bait is and that is where the action is. Fish shallow the fish are in there hiding from the bottle nose Dolphin, shallow is their safety. Lots of Trout, most at the top of the slot or over with a mix of Blues, Jacks, Lady fish to keep you busy,noisy top water baits have taken their toll. Plenty of Snook, pick a bridge and wait for the sun to go down, Flair Hawks will get you to the zone in this strong water. Roosevelt Bridge for the big Snook, bring your camera these fish will all be over slot. Has any body tried fishing those monster Jacks on the west side closer to the marina ? One of the great thing about the North Fork is , “what wind”.
Till next week, please get the weather man to turn off the wind weapon.......so wimps like me can fish............................HENRY
