Catch 365
"Hold Em Horizontal...or Vertical"
Nope, not talking about taking care of big female snook by holding them horizontal; today we are talking about your fishing rods. While fishing reel care and maintenance gets a lot of attention, often times rods are overlooked.
To help extend the life of a fishing rod always try to do the following:
1. Rinse, wash, and dry entire rod after use in saltwater.
2. Store out of direct sunlight, and if possible in a cool dry room.
3. Avoid storing rods in a hot car for extended periods of time.
4. Try to keep the rods in some type of rack. Leaning rods against a wall, especially for long periods of time, can actually warp or cause a "set" in the blank.
Inshore- Not a lot to write about this week. Snook action slowed way down with the cooler weather. The Hobe Sound flats are still holding a mixed bag of jacks, ladyfish, and a stray pompano or two. Munyon Island has a few spotted seatrout hanging around.
Surf/Pier- Cooler weather this week did help push some fish down the beach. Bluefish made a nice showing, and have been ready to strike a silver spoon or noisy topwater. Spinner sharks are following the bluefish in decent numbers. The Spanish Mackerel have filled into Peck's Lake good. Clark spoons, Gotcha lures, and Gulfstream flash minnow jigs are all catching the Macs. Bring some glass minnows or ground chum
