I spoke with Byron at Fishin Cove Bait & Tackle in New Smyrna today. He was telling me that fishing is good in the Halifax River, Ponce Inlet, and the Atlantic. Redfish, speckled trout, and tarpon are all biting well in the river. The fish are most active early morning and late in the day. The reds will be around docks, mangrove shoreline, and creeks. Finger mullet, shrimp, and gold spoons are all good baits for redfish. Trout will be around lit docks at night, and on grass flats and in deeper water during the day. Black drum, flounder, and sheepshead can be caught in the inlet. Pieces of crab will catch the drum, mud minnows and finger mullet bounced on the bottom will catch flounder, shrimp will catch sheepshead. Offshore, dolphin, sailfish, and wahoo can all be caught 25 miles - 30 miles out. Troll ballyhoo and lures around weed lines and color breaks. Tuna fishing is good 100 miles offshore for the few that can get out that far. For more information contact;
