FEB 12, 07 FISHING
SOME BADLY NEEDED RAIN TODAY, CLOUDED SKY,
SOUTH EAST WIND BUT NICE TEMPS AND FISHING IS LOOKING
REAL GOOD.
FOR THE OFF SHORE ANGLER LIVE BAIT SO THICK YOU
WALK ON IT. BIRDS WORKING NORTH AND SOUTH, NOT HARD TO LOCATE THE ACTION ZONE. FIFTY FIVE FEET OF WATER, SO
CLOSE WE HAD CALLS FROM THE BEACH, "WHAT ARE THOSE FISH
JUMPING", YES IT WAS A SAIL FISH. WEED PATCHS, SCHOOLS OF
BAIT AND PLENTY OF FISH. SAILS, KINGS, DOLPHIN, COBIA AND
TARPON ALL MADE THE LIST. WHEN WAS THE LAST IME YOU CAUGHT A TARPON LIVE BAITING FROM FORTY FOOT SPORT FISHNG YATCH???? FROM THERE OUT TO 150 CATCHS WERE REPORTED BUT THE CALL OF THE CATCH IN 55 WAS MORE THAN
MOST COULD RESIST. DEEP RUNNING BALLY HOO PUT WAHOO ON THE CATCH LIST AND THESE FISH WERE CAUGHT IN 80, ALL THE ACTION WAS CLOSE AND THERE WAS PLENTY OF IT. FOR THE BOTTOM ANGLER IT IS SNAPPERS OF ALL TYPE AND SIZE THE GROUPER WERE FEW ALL IN THE TWENTY POUND CLASS BUT IT WAS SNAPPER THE ANGLERS WERE LOOKING FOR AND FOUND IN GOOD NUMBERS. SPANISH MACS IN THE KING FISH HOLE, ONE CAST ONE FISH. TAKE A FEW THAN TAKE THE BARBS OFF THE HOOKS AND HAVE FUN. PLEASE DO NOT ABUSE THE RESOURSE.
SURF ANGLERS ARE STILL CASTING TO THE BLUES AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF THEM. SPOONS, BIG CHUG BUGS, SUPER SPOOKS, AND CUT MULLET WILL FIND PLENTY. KEEP IN MIND IT IS EASIER CATCH BREAKFAST IN THREE FEET OF WATER THAN THIRTY. GOOD MIX OF MACS AND JACKS, WHITING SEEM TO SHOW MIDDAY. POMPANO TO SCATTERED TO CALL BUT IF YOU ARE GOING TO FIND THEM SAND FLEAS IS THE BAIT, BE PREPARED FOR A LONGER CAST.
RIVER ANGLERS GOOD CATCHS OF SLOT TROUT IN THREE FEET OF WATER, SOFT RUBBER BAITS AND SHRIMP ON A POPPING FLOAT WILL FIND THEM ALL. A FEW BIGGER TOUT EARLY IN THE MORNING BUT THAT IS RED FISH TIME. REDS HAVE MADE A GOOD SHOW. THERE IS A THREE HOUR WINDOW FOR SCHOOLING FISH. THEY ARE SLOT SIZE, PAY ATTENTION YOU WILL GET TWO FROM THE SCHOOL BEFORE THEY SCATTER; YOU NEED TO WHERE THEY ARE MOVING TO. LIVE SHRIMP, SOFT RUBBER BAITS AND THE BEST, A GOLD SPOON. LOTS OF BIG DRUM IN THE AREA, DRUM IN THE FORTY POUND CLASS, BIG UGLY BLACK DRUM. PLENTY OF SIX POUND, WITH SHEEPHEAD ON ANY THING STICKING OUT OF THE WATER, SHRIMP IS THE PREFERED BAIT FOR THEM. POMPANO ARE STILL SKIPPING A FEW HAVE STOPPED BUT NOT AS MANY AS WE ARE WATCHING. IF YOU ARE GOING TO CATCH THEM YOU HAVE TO DRAG YOU JIG ON THE BOTTOM, TWO FEET OR FIFTEEN YOU HAVE TO SLIDE THAT JIG ON THE BOTTOM. SAIL FISH FLATS, HELLS GATE AND THE NORTH FORK HAVE BEEN THE BUSY ZONES, SLOW DOWN AND GET TO THE BOTTOM. SNOOK AT AREA BRIDGES MOST ARE OVER SLOT SO HANDLE CARFULLY.
TAKE WHAT YOU NEED AND RETURN THE REST FOR THE NEXT OUTING ..HENRY
