I was just talking with Pat at the Dunedin Fishing Center in Dunedin. He tells me that the fishing is great on the Dunedin Causeway right now and he expects this weekend will be off the charts! There are tons of spanish mackerel around. Pats customers are catching them using Gator Spoons and Gotcha Plugs. Spanish mackerel will be most active where there is a good tidal flow and schools of bait fish. A fast moving lure will produce hard hitting strikes and short, reel screaming runs on medium to light tackle. Redfish can be caught from the causeway or around area oyster bars and mangrove lined spoil islands. These are the smaller rat red, as the bigger fish have moved on. Live shrimp are hard to come by, so cast net white bait or use Berkly Gulp . The pet beach on Honeymoon Island is producing pompano. Sand flees and pompano jigs are the best baits. Silver trout and speckled trout are on fire! Wade the north side of Dunedin Causeway starting at the first bridge. Berkley Gulp baits or jigs tipped with a small piece of frozen shrimp will produce lots of trout if you can not find live shrimp. For more information contact;
