As we roll through January, the cool fronts and wind still prevail. Fishing conditions have been stable, but the winds have changed direction every day throughout the week, affecting water quality and conditions. The key is finding the clean water, where fish are located, leading anglers to successful hook ups.
Bays and channels still continue to hold migratory fish. Bluefish, mackerel, pompano , croaker , drum, snapper and many other species are striking, jigs and shrimp worked along the bottom. The big schools of bluefish are a blast, as one angler hooks up the whole school tends to follow. Top water bite is excellent when conditions allow.
Mangrove shorelines and muddy bottom areas are holding snook on both sides of the tides. Live bait and Rapala X raps in pearl color, great baits to get the strike. Fishing the mangrove areas, anglers have the opportunity to catch all four species of snook, this makes it fun for those that did not know that many species of snook exist.
Well, that is the fishingreport for the past week, hope you all enjoyed. Remembered you can’t catch them from the couch, so get out there and get hooked up. Tight lines! PhlatsInshoreFishing.com visit us facebook, instagram, X, Pinterest and YouTube.
