SEPTEMBER 2004 Fishing reports affected by Hurricane Frances but there was one!
SEPT. 18, 04 FISHING
LETS GO TO THE SURF EDGE, THAT IS WHERE THE FISH ARE AND THE BEST
PART IS THEY ARE HUNGRY. THE MULLET RUN IS ON, LOTS OF BAIT ALL IN CASTING RANGE
MEANS LOTS OF FISH. THE STORM HAS MIXED IT UP, WATER STILL A LITTLE CLOUDY BUT
THE ACTION IS THERE.
TARPON, SNOOK, BLUES, MAC’S AND I KNOW I LEFT A FEW OUT. THE BEST IS SOMETHING
IS GOING ALL DAY, ANY TIME IS THE RIGHT TIME TO BE THERE. THE MULLET ROLL IN THE
WATER WITH A FLASH AND THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT, FLASH. CAST A SPOON, LURE, FLY I
DON’T CARE AS LONG HAS IT HAS A FLASH TO IT. THE SNOOK BITE IS ON, YOUR FAVORITE
ACCESS MIGHT STILL BE CLOSED, SO PARK AT THE ROAD AND WALK OVER. IN MANY CASES
YOU WILL FIND YOUR FAVORITE LOCATION HAS CHANGED, MOTHER NATURE MOVED A LOT OF
SAND, LOOK FOR ACTIVITY IN THE WATER. LIVE BAIT FANS HOOK YOUR BAITS ON THE
BOTTOM NEAR THE TAIL AND THE FISH WILL SWIM AWAY FROM YOU WITH HIS HEAD DOWN AND
NOT LOOKING VERY FAST , EASY DINNER FOR THE PREDATORS. WATCH YOUR EQUIPMENT
SCHOOLS OF TWENTY POUND JACKS ARE CRUISING THE EDGE AND THEY WILL TEST YOUR
ABILITY AND YOUR EQUIPMENT. SNOOK ALL DAY, BIG JACKS WITH THEM. THE BLUES AND
MAC’S ARE THERE EARLY AS IS THE TARPON BUT IT IS THE MULLET RUN TIME AND THEY
ARE THERE ALL DAY, EACH CAST WILL BE SURPRISE.
THE INDIAN RIVER SNOOK BITE IS ON AGAIN WITH ALL THE MULLET,
TARPON ROLLING IN THE CROSSROADS, SNAPPER BITE STILL STRONG AND A GOOD SHOW OF
FLOUNDER. BOATERS CALL THE SHOPS IN THE AREA AND CHECK ON THE BOAT RAMPS. THE
STUART RAMP IS WASHED OUT, JENSEN IS CLOSED, SAND SPRIT IS OPEN AND ON THE
ISLAND JC PARK IS OPEN. TO USE JC PARK YOU WILL HAVE TO GO OVER SOUTH BRIDGE IN
FT. PIERCE AND THEN SOUTH ON THE ISLAND. BOATER BE CAREFUL, LOTS OF STUFF IN THE
RIVER, NEW SAND BARS ARE EVERY WHERE, THE WATER TURBID IT WILL BE AWEEK BEFORE
IT CLEARS AND WE CAN SEE IT ALL. SNOOK AT THE BRIDGES, BIG SNOOK SO HAVE THE
MEASURING TAPE HANDY AND THE CAMERA MOST FISH IN THESE AREAS ARE WELL OVER THE
SLOT.
OFF SHORE THE STORM BROUGHT IN THE EVERY THING WE NEED FOR
DOLPHIN AND TO THE SOUTH THEY ARE ON THE CATCH LIST. THIS IS WEEK END THE SEAS
ARE TO SETTLE BUT EXTRA CAREFUL YOU MUST BE. LOTS OF STUFF FLOATING FROM TREES
TO BOATS SOME JUST BELOW THE SURFACE, KEEP THE RADIO ON AND LISTEN AND REPORT
WHAT YOU MIGHT SEE. WELL THEY ARE DRAINING THE BIG “O” SO GET AWAY FROM THE DARK
PLUME, THAT WOULD BE THE EDGE TO START. ALL THIS SOUTH EAST WIND WILL BRING THE
DOLPHIN, LIVE BAITS OR BALLY HOO WILL BE VERY PRODUCTIVE. THE KINGS NEVER
STOPPED, WAHOO WILL STILL CRUISING DEEP WITH THE COBIA GATHERING ON THE FLOTSAM.
DIVERS TELL ME THE REEFS ARE HOT WITH SNAPPER AND GROUPER NOW IF WE CAN JUST GET
THE SEAS TO SETTLE. A LITTLE NORTH EAST WIND WOULD PICK UP THE SAILFISH AND A
MARLIN OR TWO. ALL IN ALL IT COULD BE A GREAT WEEK END IF MOTHER NATURE SETTLES
DOWN.
WELL GANG I HOPE YOU AND YOUR BOAT MADE IT THROUGH THE STORM,
THE SNOOK NOOK TO A HIT SHOULD BE UP IN RUNNING IN THREE WEEKS. WELL I WANTED
SOME TIME TO FISH THIS NOT QUITE WHAT I HAD IN MIND. FOR YOU FOLKS SENDING “E”
MAIL THE STORE COMPUTER IS WET, REAL WET, PHONES ARE DOWN BUT YOU COULD REACH ME
ON THE CELL 772-530-1114.………BRING YOUR CAMERA , YOU WILL NEED IT……………………….
