Flagler Beach, Look For Clear Water

I was talking with Roy from Roy's Bait House in Flagler Beach this afternoon. He tells me that if you find the clear water, you will find the fish. Inshore, the sheapshead, trout, redfish, and pompano are all biting very well. Live shrimp works great for sheepshead, trout, reds, and pompano. There is a big run of flounder in the area. In a tournament last week, a 7lb flounder was weighed . Live shrimp and smaller bait fish bounced on the bottom will draw strikes from flounder. On the beach and at the pier, Roy's customers are catching bluefish, black drum, flounder, pompano, and whiting. Shrimp, sand flees, pieces of crab, clams, and pompano jigs are all good baits for the beach. One of Roy's customers, Roby Thomas, went offshore yesterday and caught four nice dolphin, several amberjack from 10lb - 15lb, and bonita. On the way in they spotted several cobia swimming toward the beach, but were unable to stop to fish for them. For more information contact;
