Fishing 5/9/09
It must be summer, Snook on the beach and a few Tarpon are rolling. Big bright sun, wind has finally slowed it is time to go for a walk on the surfs edge. Still plenty of Blues for the early morning angler and that is where the Snook are hanging. Still limits of Pompano are reported using Clams for bait, these fish are up close, anglers are finding them with a seven foot rod, that is real close. Big Whiting with a mix of Croakers, the surf has numbers, if you are looking for rod pullers the surf is the place.
Plenty of slot size Trout and you do not need a boat to get them. Look for the grass edges, the fishing pier at Indian River Side Park is a location that holds Trout, you can see the edges. Put Shrimp on a float, the float will keep that Shrimp from hiding in the grass, cast to an edge and let the float present you bait. Red fish are there for the early angler, after sun up look to the shaded water. Tarpon at Big Mud Creek, start at the power lines and work your way in and the Triple Tail are at the markers. Snook, pick a bridge or a channel that is where they will be in numbers, yes, they are in the flats but that will be a single fish.
Off shore deep was last week this is a new week. Yes, some anglers were in deep and did find the fish but most found them on the way back in, 100'. Bait was a hard find, get your cast net and take some Mullet, plenty of these in the river and they work, why spend all that time looking for bait when you just passed over the best. Kings in thirty feet both north and south, the depth was the key. Big schools of thirty pound Jacks to drag your boat around and yes the Cobia are there you just have to ready when they are.
Do not forget, the hat, the lotion and the sun glasses, you are going to need them.........Henry
