The surf is alive with Tarpon, glass minnows from inlet to inlet and Tarpon to go with them. There is a mix of others but it is the Tarpon that are putting on the show, twenty feet from the sand. Early is best but these fish are there all day,
breakfast time is the time. In the mix is Snook, Lady Fish, big Jacks, all feeding on glass minnows, so throw something that has the profile of a minnow and a Kast Master match's that profile. This lure is a flat spoon made for throwing in the wind
and with out the wind it casts real easy, 3/4 oz is the one, take the treble off and put on a single for a quick release. Yes the Snook, Jacks, lady fish will all eat them so it a bait for all. Early is the bite time for most, Tarpon have their own clock, so you
just have to spend the time, you will not be disappointed. Now about the Whiting and Croaker eating a small piece of shrimp, up close in the wash, pay attention because so does every body else and a Tarpon, Snook or Jack on a whiting rig will take
that rod with them. Now is the time, come on down and make a few casts because you just don’t know who is feeding when but one thing is for sure some one is eating now. Lots of big fish and miles of small baits can make for a great morning,
afternoon or evening,did I mention the Spanish Mac’s?
River fishing, starting before sun up, the area around Little Mud east or west side fishing the shallows it has been plenty of slot Trout some Reds and still Flounder. This holds true for most of the area from the Sail Fish Flats north till about 8:30 AM
then the fish head off to deeper water. Time to look at the bridges, deep, shaded, moving water a perfect comfort zone. Plenty of Drum, big Sheephead, some Mac’s, Jacks, and a list of others to bend a rod and yes the Tarpon like the bridge also.
All that being said fishing is pretty good it is the timing that is important this time of the year, no matter what “no catch Carl” says, plan you day and go catch a fish........................................Henry
