Finally the high seas have settled and the white surf is giving way to the blue water. Finally we can go to the surf edge and catch a fish, Blues, Jacks, Whiting and a few Pompano. Not sure where the Pompano went this year but the conditions were not favorable for the species. Even the Blues were not as strong as in the previous season again the water was warm and then when the temps were favorable the seas kept anglers from the edge. Not sure what the plans are for the beach but when the crew starts pumping the sand in Martin County it may be time to check out the access in St Lucie County, turbid water will not be favorable. So the Blues have finally made a good showing, cut baits are best, still not enough for a spoon, cut bait the smell will help them locate the bait, spoons they will have to see. Whiting are back in the trough and a piece of shrimp will locate them quickly, late morning preferred. Now about those Pompano, a few here and there but enough to say a location or time but the two that you put on the beach will be of good size, mother nature taking care of her crew. River settled down quickly and still waiting for the Pompano, looks like we may wait till next season. A few here and a few there with most being dark in color tells me these are our resident fish, no special time, from boat or bridge you just had to be there. Trout bite has been excellent with a lot of fish in the top of the slot, the cool thing is the bite time has been mid morning, suspending baits is the answer. More Reds this week as anglers were able to fish the west side of our river, work those long docks from shallow to deep, shrimp and jigs caught them. Snook bite was so, so nothing special, these fish were still cold from last week. if Snook is the target wait for the sun towarm the shallow water and look there. Yes the dark hour is the hour but these fish like it warm and they will move from deep to shallow to find their comfort zone.
