A mix of weather made for a great week, depending on the day. West
wind, east wind, no wind as I said it was all about the day and where you were
fishing. West wind made for some excellent surf fishing or locating Red fish on
the west side of the Indian River, east wind found many anglers targeting Trout
on the east side and off shore it kept anglers on their toes. Wind has been
mild, excellent fishing and it kept the bugs away.
Surf anglers it has been Pompano from Hobe Sound beach to Fredrick Douglas access in Ft. Pierce, that is a lot of Pompano. Bite times were changing but a little time in the area and it was a sure catch. Strong reports from both locations mean there has to be some in between, so a little patients will find them. Blues are still with us in numbers, fish early, cut baits will find them, 2 to 4 pound fish excellent table fare. Did not hear much about Whiting,sort of got lost in the Pompano and Blue fish but I know they are there, a pitch not a cast will get you in their zone, up close, in the first trough and good size, a good week for surf anglers.
River anglers depending on the day, Red Fish bite was excellent from Midway road south with the west wind, no turbity, fishing the docks found plenty o slot fish on baits that run below the surface. Two hour later you were on the east side catching slot Trout with the same baits the cool part was the Flounder on both sides. Not a lot of Flounder but all were pleased to catch one or two, not being the target it was a nice treat. From the bridges it was Drum and Sheep head on clams, they were chewing the barnacle off the pilings, match the menu. Still Blues and Mac’s with a mix of Snapper and Jacks, Lady fish and more Flounder, it has been a good week of fishing no mater the time.
Now is the time, have you looked at the mess at the bridges, please if you can carry it onto the bridge, carry it off and while you are at it pick up after those who just do not care.................thank you............................HENRY
