APR. 18, 07 FISHING
I KNOW,,,,,,,NO EXCUSE, STARTED THE COLUMN SEVERAL TIMES AND JUST NEVER FINISHED.
LET’S START ON THE BEACH, BLUE FISH AND MORE CASTING SMALLER SPOONS. SEEMS THE BLUES ARE EATING THE SMALLER SPOONS, THESE FISH ARE THERE ALL DAY, MUST BE THE PROFILE. THE BIGGER BLUES THE TEN POUND PLUS ARE THERE FOR THE LONG CAST BUT THE THREE TO FIVE POUND BLUES ARE AT YOUR TOES, HARD NOT GO FOR THE NUMBERS, FORGET THE SIZE. CUT BAIT AND CHROME TOP WATER ALSO ARE ON THE LIST. THIS IS THE TIME WHEN THE BIGGER BLUES SHOW, SHOULD BE WITH US ANOTHER TEN DAYS OR SO. IF THESE COOL MORNINGS STAY WITH US THEY MAY HANG OUT LONGER. SOME WHITING BUT WITH THE BLUES SO CLOSE THEY HAVE SCATTERED. FEW MAC’S, PLENTY OF JACKS AND THE POMPANO NEVER DID SHOW IN OUR USUAL NUMBERS.
THE RIVER WENT FROM SHALLOW WINTER FISHING TO THE SUMMER MODE OVER NIGHT. TROUT ANGLERS THAT WERE LOOKING IN TWO FEET AND LESS JUST WENT TO THREE TO FOUR FEET AND THAT’S WHERE THE TROUT ARE; NOW THE REDS ARE STILL SHALLOW. MORNING ANGLERS START LOOKING FOR THE RED FISH IN THE TWO FEET OF WATER TIGHT TO THE MANGROVES OR SHORE LINE THEN WORK OUT TO OTHER SPECIES AS THE MORNING GETS SHORTER. REDS HAVE BEEN SLOT SIZE BUT HUNGRY EATING SPOONS, SHRIMP AND SOFT RUBBER BAITS. BEAR POINT TO MIDWAY AND ON TO WALTON ROAD WITH A BITE JUST NORTH OF LITTLE MUD, TO THE SOUTH IT HAS BEEN THE SPOILS IN THE SAIL FISH FLATS. SNOOK PICK A BRIDGE; THE BITE HAS GONE FROM OUT OF CONTROL TO A SLOWER PATTERN, FROM ALL BIG FISH TO SLOT SIZE FISH, FISH ACROSS THE BOTTOM, IF YOU CAN NOT FEEL THE BOTTOM YOU NEED MORE WEIGHT. PLENTY OF POMPANO SKIPPING, NOT EATING AND JACKS, BLUES AND MAC’S THAT WILL BITE OFF ANY THING YOU CAST.
OFF SHORE TO DAY THE MAGIC NUMBER IS 150’ FOR THE DOLPHIN. WE HAVE BEEN IN FOR THE LAST THREE DAYS BECAUSE OF LESS THAN POLITE SEAS BUT THIS IS A NEW DAY. THE COBIA BITE HAS BEEN OUT OF CONTROL FROM THIRTY FEET TO THREE HUNDRED, THE COBIA HAVE BEEN EVERY WHERE, NOT MONSTERS BUT LEGAL. THE BITE STARTED YESTERDAY IN SEVENTY FIVE FEET WITH ONE BOAT REPORTING 4DOLPHIN, 5 SAILS, 2 COBIA AND 2KINGS OVER FORTY POUNDS AND I STAYED IN. CRAZY PART IS THE AFTERNOON BITE SEEMS TO BE THE TIME. TODAY THE MORNING IS LOOKING REAL GOOD WITH CATCHES REPORTED, NEVER CAUGHT A FISH WITH A DAY PLANER OR A WATCH ON, GO WHEN YOU CAN I GUESS IS THE KEY. HAD TO LOOK FOR LIVE BAITS THIS MORNING THAT IS A FIRST, BUT THEY WERE LOCATED AT THE SAND PILE SO LET’S GO CATCH A FISH, ENOUGH READING.
