Saltwater Inshore and Nearshore
FISHING REPORT
So, you say its been a bit damp out there... And windy too?!
That's OK ...there are still lots of willing fish to be caught.
I'm going to try to answer some frequently asked questions in this report.
But, as is the case in most of life, you just gotta be in the right place at the right time. Where do I go? you say. Well that is always the most difficult question to answer.. What with probably over Hundreds of places to start. Usually the best thing to do is read reports, listen to friends and ask at your local B & T's. On the down side, as we all know it's called fishing and not catching. Some days , what happened the day before has nothing to do with what goes for the next day... A change in the wind, or the barometer or rain or... lots of other things can change things drastically.. Even though it may seem that everything is the same.
So what's the solution? Just keep casting!!! You always need to be trying new stuff.. But, start with what you know works.. If your not getting hits, or even if you are, go ahead and "change - up"... Try something different.. It could be color, it could be retrieve style or it could be depth or size or... lots of things.. Just keep trying!! Maybe, Next time out try a different starting spot - could just be very effective.
A quick report on the overall fishery...
In the St. Lucie and the Indian Rivers.. There have been lots and lots of Finger Mullet. They are coming into the Palm Beaches as well.
Try cast netting for live bait or try casting artificials around the schools for all kinds of fish. We have been catching Snook on Rootbeer Terror- Eyz from DOA.
And on fly, we have been having Loads of Fun. I fished the other day with another Capt friend of mine who also really enjoys Fly, Marsha Foosaner. We launched in the wee hours of the pre-dawn. Soon we were on a mullet school in the Indian River on the East side near Jensen, and the fish were slamming and popping and banging and eating mullet like a battlefield... Out came our fly rods...7 wt and 6 wt Redington rods..and we proceeded to cast our usual array of productive flies into the "war zone"... After a while we were very disappointed as we weren't getting the action we thought we should... So we Changed to sinking lines and some pretty small dark flies and our luck changed with it.. We were hooking and landing some nice sized Snook. We took pictures and Released the fish we caught.
We then motored away and did some Wade fishing.. not really the right tide flow, so then we went up the Indian River to the Power Line area on the East bank and set a drift with the current. We threw flies the rest of the day .. experimenting with sizes and colors. After catching a few nice fish, I changed up to a reely fun Rod... A Redington .. get this 3 wt. with a sink tip line.. Man o man .. talk about fun!!! Trout, cuda, snapper... OH Yeah!
Around the inlets of Ft. Pierce and Stuart... there are still lots of Snook and an occasional Red.
For Snook in the Palm Beach Inlet Hit the North side of Jetties around the Pump house if the finger mullet are around, use livies or artificials. Around the Munyons in the very very dark there have been some big Snook. Be Careful though.. Some big Sharks too.
Release Today for Tomorrow!!!
Bent Rods To All,

Capt. Jeff
