Little bit of an uptick in the warm weather the past week brought warmer water temperatures. Cool fronts have been staggered allowing for calm conditions in morning wind picking up an afternoon. Lots of action this past week for a wide variety of species.
Channels and deep holes, holding a plethora of species for anglers to tango with. Bluefish schools continue to dominate, anglers are enjoying awesome top water action using Rapala skitter walks for these aggressive fish. Spanish mackerel and Pompano have also been in the same vicinity, striking shrimp and Doa C.A.L. 3 inch shad tail. The Pompano have been schooled up both sides of the tide, average size has been 12 to 15 inches
Anglers looking to target linesiders, snook are still abundant along mangrove edges, docks and sea walls. Live bait and rapala x raps, excellent baits to get the strike. Common and fat snook have been the dominant species, snook have been ranging in size 18 to 28 inches.
Rock piles and drop offs great areas to get anglers on a plethora of species, snapper, grouper, jacks, croaker, drum and many other species, all being caught around structures. The outgoing tides are pulling more water due to negative tides, this triggers fish to feed heavily on shrimp and DOA 3” shad tail worked along the bottom.
Well that is the fishing report for the past week, hope you all enjoyed. Remember, you can’t catch them from the couch, so get out there and get hooked up. Tight lines! PhlatsInshoreFishing.com. Visit us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, and YouTube.
