JAN. 4, 08 FISHING
YES I KNOW, "WHERE HAVE I BEEN", WITH OUT A NOVEMBER OR DECEMBER WHATS IS DOING. WELL IT JUST SEEMS I HAVE BEEN BUSY DOING OTHER THINGS. BUT I WONDER WHAT DID I DO WITH THE TIME? SO WE ARE GOING TO TRY A NEW THING A LIVE BROADCAST FORM THE NOOK ON OUR WEB SITE EVERY THURSDAY AT 8:30 PM AND THAT I WILL HAVE TO BE HERE, NO WAY OUT. HAVING LEFT THE TELEVISION WORLD, STILL DOING A LOT OF RADIO I HOPE WE CAN MAKE THIS WORK. IF YOU ARE HOME DIAL IN AND SEE HOW MANY MISTAKES I CAN MAKE. LET’S GO CATCH A FISH.
COLD THIS WEEK WITH TEMPS STARTING THE DAY IN THE LOW FORTY’S AND OVERCAST WITH A FEW SHOWERS, YES THE WIND WAS BLOWING. TODAY IS A NEW DAY OVERCAST BUT QUIET WITH NO WIND. THE WATER IS SETTLING, CLEARITY IS COMING BACK AND THING ARE LOOKING REAL GOOD.
THE SURF IS BLUE FISH AND MORE BLUE FISH SO MANY THAT THE WHITING WERE COMING UP ON THE SAND TO GET AWAY FROM THEM. NOW ADD THE COLD SNAP AND YES WE WILL HAVE MORE BLUES. THESE FISH ARE IN THE THREE TO FIVE POUND CLASS AND YES THEY DO MAKE EXCELLENT TABLE FARE. CUT BAITS, SPOONS, TOP WATER PLUGS WILL ALL GET THEIR ATTENTION. THE WHITING, AT YOUR TOES, NOW THE POMPANO, THEY LOVE THE COOLER WATER. POMPS HAVE BEEN OFF AND ON IN THE SURF WITH TEMPS AND CLARITY MOVING THE FISH. WELL THE TEMPS ARE PERFECT THE SEAS ARE POLITE, LOOKING FORWARD TO CATCH IN THE COMING DAYS.
TROUT SEASON IS OPEN AND THEY DO NOT KNOW IT, STILL A LOT OF BIG FISH TO REPORT. TWO FEET OF WATER IS THE DEPTH AND YOU COULD START ON THE SAIL FISH FLATS AND GO NORTH TO VERO, TOP WATER, SOFT RUBBER AND LIVE BAITS HAVE ALL PUT FISH IN THE BOAT. STILL A LOT OF BIG FISH, GREAT FOR PHOTOS, TERRIBLE ON THE TABLE. IF YOU WANT TO KEEP A TROUT IT MUST BE FIFTEEN INCHES, THE BEST FOR THE TABLE, FIVE IS THE BAG, 15 TO 20 INCHES AND ONE OF THOSE FISH CAN BE OVER 20 INCHES. REDS ON THE WEST SIDE FROM SEWALLS POINT TO FT. PIERCE, IT IS A MORNING BITE AND THAT TWO FEET OF WATER IS THE ACTION ZONE. DO NOT SPEND A LOT OF TIME IN ONE SPOT, STAY IN THE CHANNEL AND WATCH THE WEST BANK FOR ACTIVITY THEN DRIFT IN. I PREFER A JIG, SOFT RUBBER, AND ANY BAIT THEY CAN GET ON TOP OF. SOME ANGLERS GET THEM WITH TOP WATER BUT I JUST TAKE IT A WAY, TO FAST ON THE HOOK SET.ONE PER ANGLER PER DAY AND 18 TO 26 INCHES IS THE SLOT. COOLER WATER IT WHAT IT WILL TO GET THE POMPS TO EAT AGAIN AND THAT’S THE REASON ANGLERS ARE NOT SAYING A WORD ABOUT THE FRONT. THEIR WAS A BITE AND THEN THE WATER WARMED AND THE FISH ALL OF SUDDEN HAD LOCK JAW, COLD FRONT IS SOUNDING ANY BETTER? WHEN YOU SEE THE FISH SKIPPING BEHIND THE BOAT IT IS TIME TO MAKE THE CIRCLE AND DRIFT BACK TO THAT LOCATION. PUT THE ANCHOR OUT START CASTING NYLURE JIGS WITH A PIECE OF SHRIMP ON THEM, VERY SLOW KEEP YOUR JIG ON THE BOTTOM. IT IS TO LIKE A CRAB OF SORTS JUST MOVING ACROSS THE BOTTOM. I WOULD EVEN PUT OUT A ROD WITH A SAND FLEA OR TWO TO GET ANOTHER BAIT IN THE WATER. POMPANO TRAVEL IN SCHOOLS AND THEY USUALY HAVE PATTERN THEY TRAVEL IN, LETS HOPE YOU ARE IN THE TRAVEL LANE. ANGLERS HAVE STARTED TO JIG FROM THE BRIDGE WITH HOT AND COLD REPORTS, DOC’S GOFFY JIG IS THE BAIT AND I AM NOT SURE WHY, WHO CARES THE POMPS LOVE THEM. GOOD CATCH OF MAC’S AND BLUES ALSO HANGING AROUND AND THE MACS ARE BIGGER THAN THOSE CAUGHT OUT SIDE THE INLET. PLENTY OF BLACK DRUM IN THE RIVER FROM ALL ACESS POINT EATING SHRIMP AND THEY ARE ALL GOOD SIZE FISH. JACKS, LADY FISH, SHEEP HEAD AND FEW I HAVE FORGOTTEN TO MENTION HAVE KEPT RODS BENT, RIVER IS BUSY SO COME ON DOWN.
OUT TO THE BLUE WATER, NOT SO POLITE THIS WEEK BUT AGAIN WITH COLD FRONT WHAT SAIL FISH WERE NOT HERE ARE HERE NOW.
SAIL FISH ACTION, START LOOKING IN SIXTY FEET AND TROLL FROM THERE, YOU NEED TO TAKE DINNER TO THE FISH. WHILE YOU ARE OUT THERE LOOKING PAY ATTENTION FOR ANY OTHER FLOTSAM THAT MAY HOLD A DOLPHINS ATTENTION. THE DOLPHIN HAVE BEEN IN THE TWENTY POUND CLASS OR PEANUT SIZE, NOTHING IN BETWEEN, RUN AND GUN YOU WILL FIND THEM. BOTTOM FISH, HAD TWO GROUPER BOTH IN THE THIRTY POUND CLASS AND AN ASORTMENT OF SNAPPER MOST FROM SOUTHERN LOCATIONS, SIXTY FEET, AND SARDINES WERE THE FAVORED BAIT.
I KNOW STAY UP TO DATE, LETS HOPE OUR THURSDAY NIGHT REPORTS CAN GO OFF WITH OUT A CATCH. NOW GO CATCH A FISH.
