FISHING 11/08/08
Finally a week end of perfect weather, moderate temp, no wind, and fish, could it be any better?
Off shore the action started at 100', straight out of the inlet, weed lines, pretty water, bait and fish, the most important. Trolling was the method and Dolphin were the targets.Really nice fish, 15 to 25 pounds with some bigger but perfect fish. Those pesky Sail Fish were there chewing, most anglers reported from 2 to 5 releases and more Dolphin. There were Wahoo and Kings for the anglers that pulled down baits and more Dolphin and those Pesky Sail fish. Big Spanish Mac's were there for the pitch rods with quite a few Cobia to keep you busy and yes more pesky Sail fish. Down to the King Fish hole the Spanish have made a strong show for anglers using Glass Minnow chum, It just could not get better. That strong show of Sails should make for big tournament numbers, yes it is about that time.
Surf anglers the water has settled and weeds have broken up, Blues, Mac's and Pompano were waiting for you. Spoons top the bait list for the early angler, big top water lures took their share. Late morning anglers caught the Whiting , Croakers and Snook, just had to wait for the water to warm. Pompano were in and out all day, most were small but enough numbers that you were sure to take a few home and yes there were fleas on the edge.
The river water was absent the turbidity and the fish were every where, east side or west, happy fish. It was those pesky Trout, they know the season is closed and anglers reported slot size fish in shallow and deep water. East side and west it was hard to get a bait to the Red fish because the Trout were on it. Good catches of Red Fish in the Power Plant area, lots of slot fish on both live and artificial baits, cool part is they have been in all day. Good numbers of small Snook, plenty of Jacks, Lady fish, two pound Flounder ,a few Blues and Mac's just enough to keep that rod bent. The bridges, lots of Black Drum and yes they do have limits. Not less than 14"or more than 24", five is the bag with one over 24". Still looking for the slot Snook, the bridges is their location taking deep baits. Bring your camera most fish are over the slot and the older the picture the heavier the fish. Finally the Pompano at the east end of the causeways, this is where the bigger fish have been taken. The fish have been there all day, not always chewing but there, you will just have to put in your time, even if that guy that just walked out catches the first one. Doc's and Nylure jigs top the list, green was the color this week end. Plenty of Mac's also reported from those locations, and yes the big Jacks would come through to test your equipment.
Till next week, patience at the boat ramps please...........................................Henry
