Cool mornings but not cold, a little over cast but the sun burned its way through, not bad this week weather man. Wind laid down most of the morning and then picked up as the afternoon wore on and the sun stayed on keeping the temps to my liking. All and all not bad for a December week.
Surf has been a sporty depending on the hour and the day. Fish early for the quiet surf, still waiting for the Pompano and Blues to start. Seas are right, temps are right and I know the baits are correct, so that must mean the fish do not read this column. Any day, any hour they will start and the only way to know is to go, cut bait for the Blues, clams and sand fleas for the Pompano. Put a bait out there and give it sometime, patients. Whiting continue to hold attention, lots of big Whiting, the best table fare, bring the ice.
In the River, Black Drum, Sheep-head, Snapper, Trout, Flounder and the list goes on. Cooler water has moved the Trout to the deeper water, three to four feet with a slow presentation will find plenty. Reds will be in the shallow water they like the cooler water and any where you are targeting Trout the Reds will be there just cast to the shallow. Flounder have been an incidental , just there, one and two for all anglers just not a limit. Pompano have been on the catch list, just spotty the only place I have had good reports has been in the deeper area of Hells Gate on the out going tide. Bridges have been the hot spot, to many Drum, Snapper, Mac’s, Blues and no mater where you are fishing the Lady Fish rule. Fish early, then as the day moves on look to the flat water, afternoon wind will move you around.
