As The Water Cools, The Fishing Heats Up

I spoke with Pat at Dunedin Fishing Center this afternoon. He was telling me that the water has cooled a few degrees and it has caused the fish to become more active. The beaches of Honeymoon Island, Caladesi Island, and Three Rooker Bar are holding good numbers of pompano and hitting. The pompano are biting best on sand flees and Silly Willy jigs, the whiting will hit shrimp fished on the bottom. The back sides of Honeymoon Island and Caladesi Island are holding schools of big redfish. Look for them on the shalow flats during the higher parts of the tide, and in the deeper holes and channels at low tide. Shrimp, cut mullet or ladyfish, white bait, and gold spoons are all good baits for these big reds. Snook fishing is very good at night around dock lights. A frisky greenback is the best bait along with various hard baits. For more information contact;
