Inshore water temperatures are rising and so is the fishing action. Snook are everywhere you look and the bigger females are starting to show them selves, as they prepare for the upcoming snook spawn. Live baits and lures provoke the snook to strike. The average size of the snook has been 5 to 20 pounds.
Tarpon action turning on in the deeper channels, look for rolling fish as keys to your success. Live baits drifted with the tide and jigs worked on the bottom produce great results. Tarpon have been ranging in size from 5 to 30 pounds. The bigger tarpon are going to start passing through our local areas, as they begin to migrate south to the keys. These bigger fish are a blast and provide for fantastic jumps and drag screaming runs.
Docks have been providing a plethora of species for anglers, redfish, sheepshead, snapper, snook, and jacks all provided rod bending action for anglers, using live baits near the bottom. The key is to keep the bait in the strike zone as long as you can.
Well that is the fishing report for the past week, hope everybody enjoyed. Remember you cant catch them from the couch, so get out there and get hooked up Tight Lines! Capt. Craig Korczynski, PhlatsInshoreFishing.com, 561-644-4371
