FISHING REPORT
So What a little rain won't hurt ya! As long as there isn't any sparkly stuff in the sky.
On and off rain, mixed with sun and some wind can make fishing more difficult. But..that's not a reason to stop fishing. We have been catching everything from Snook to Jacks to Ladies to Mangroves to Spanish to Trout and More, on Fly and Spin.. Of Course, nobody says it's gonna be easy. You just cannot give up.. Plan on doing lots of casting.
Fishing the Jensen area north to the Power Plant area with some rain and wind with Alex Nathanson of Palm City, his Father-in-law and brother-in-law-Chip, who was from Plant City. We ran into lots of Snook around the bridges in the very early AM. Chip got the first Snook to the boat. Others were lost in transit.
They used Surface lures and stick baits as well as DOA's and Gulfstream Jigs. The best producers were the DOA and Gulfstream Redfish jig. After daylight and the bite from Snook and Ladies let go--- we went up onto the grass areas on the east side of the ICW. The best method we found was to simply drift along looking for bait schools getting disturbed, and cast to them,but also to blind cast as we went. We caught Jacks and Trout. Best baits in there were DOA Shrimp and i/8 to 1/4 oz. Gulfstream shrimp tease. Another good surface lure that we have been having great success with is CAPT. MIKES Li'l Dog.. Red/white and Green/white ...See attached picture.
Fly fishing with Dick Stanley from California and his buddy Ralph we were able to get Dick his first Fly Caught Snook! This time, we were fishing kinda early, just around sun up- in the Sewalls Point area. Dick had a reely nice one on a lost it..fly and all. We re-rigged with a similar fly and kept casting-wind and all, and got another.. this one to the boat. Our best successes that day on the fly wee from using a sink tip line and a very small fly.. like those for bone fish with a small epoxy head in a very light color. Be sure to use at least 20# bite tippet.
Remember Releases Today Are Tomorrows Catches!
Bent Rods To All,
Regards And Best Fishes,
