Where to begin... Well, the past week and half or so has been slow for many of the typical winter species at the inlet to say the least. However, despite the relatively slow action for our local jetty jockies, the fishing on both catwalks and all along the rocks of the inside shores of the inlet has been pretty darn good. The trout, sheepshead and margate's have been quite cooperative for anglers throughout the inner portions of the inlet with large sand fleas and fiddler crabs producing the best for sheepshead and live shrimp or small pinfish providing the bulk of the trout action. If you prefer tossing artificial's then it would be hard to beat a DOA shrimp in gold for the numbers bite on the trout or a Bomber Long A in pink for the gators. Top water has been producing a fair amount of gator trout for people fishing the night bite at high tide in the tide pool. Best bet for right now, at least in my opinion, is to head to the north side rocks behind the north catwalk on the evening outgoing tide and free line hand picked shrimp for the trout. If you're a morning person then I recommend fishing either catwalk on the early out going tide with a fish finder rig consisting of a one to two ounce egg sinker and eighteen inches of twenty pound flourocarbon terminating with a 1/0 hook for sheepshead. Bait with either fidllers or fleas for best results. My photo's this time are of some of the quality sheepshead I've been catching. Until next time, good fishing.
