No wind, I have spent so much time fishing in the wind, now what do I do? Finally the wind has laid down, the river is flat and the ocean looks more like the river and it is ninety degrees, it must be summer. On the surfs edge still plenty of Blues, not sure why but the Snook catches have been reported, Tarpon are rolling and the Permit have made a showing. The Blues have been from just before sun up to about mid morning then the Whiting and Croakers move in and with them comes all the rest, little piece of Shrimp for the Whiting and Croaker and for all the rest a Whiting or a Croaker will do the job. The Permit prefer small Crabs but they will eat Shrimp and Sand Fleas, ninety degrees, the water is flat it is summer.

         Off shore form 60' to 100' feet of water has been the zone. Run your baits below the surface, yes you can leave one up but the other three I would run at different depths. Big bright sun, the fish don't where sun glasses, they will be in their comfort zone. Had a young lady using a Rapala CD 18 Dorado put three Dolphin in the boat from 15 to 25 pounds, the next person also kept three in the same class on Bally Hoo, all weighted to run down. Yes, have the pitch rod ready, Cobia love the shade your boat offers.
         Fishing the rivers, the turbity  is gone, fish shallow early and fish deeper or shaded water after the sun has been up for a couple hours.Have had good reports of Trout and Reds on top water early with a mix of Jacks, Lady Fish and Snook then switch over to a bait that you can work across the bottom. Great Snook action from the bridges during the dark hours, using live pin fish and Flair Hawks. From the causeways it has been Drum,
Sheephead, Jacks and still Blue Fish through out the day. Finally summer is here, did I tell you how much I love this place?
         Fishing been pretty good this week, don't forget your camera.
