Lets start in the river, you have to fish early, big bright sun, high temps mean warm water. Fish are smarter than I, they know to get out of the sun and I look to get to the sun. They will be in the skinny water looking for breakfast and you need to be there to serve, start with top water then to a sub surface as the sun rises. From the Nettles Island north, pay attention to the treed shore line and the bait they will tell you where the fish are moving. Lots of Trout, Lady fish and Snook and yes you could go south to the Stuart causeway. Lots of Snook and just maybe one will be in the slot.
Tarpon are hanging around the deeper water, Bridges and intersecting channels, yes you need to see what has their eye and match the profile. The prime hour is early but it depends on the bait we have had then feeding at the change of the tide all week, forty pound class fish. Jacks, big Jacks are taking up any slack, feeding on any thing that moves from small to big so hang on.
Few Reds reported this week, top of the slot fish on live shrimp from County Line north, lots of trees and long docks provide the shade for their comfort zone on the west side. Lots of big Lady Fish to keep busy with on both sides.
Lots of fish at the bridges, Snook, Tarpon, Jacks, Mangroves, Blues and Mac’s to name a few feeding on Mullet of all sizes.
Glass Minnows you will see the cloud coming and plenty of small Pins are keeping all fat and happy. Yes shrimp will catch them.
Surf is the same as last week with Tarpon (80lbs plus). Snook (way over slot), and Jack’s that will pull a boat all folowing the bait schools. As always match the hatch and that could be tough with big Mullet, small Mullet and plenty of Croakers not to mention the Glass Minnows. Time is a hard call because the bait is in and out all day, best bet watch for a high tide, two hour before should find plenty of fish, do not forget the hat, glass’s ,long sleeves and water. Now to take dinner home lots of big Croaker and plenty of Whiting, bring ice.
