JUNE 16, 06 FISHING

BRIGHT SUN, 85 TO 90 DEGEES, WATER EVERY WHERE, I LOVE THIS PLACE…………………

LETS ME TAKE YOU FOR A WALK ON THE BEACH AND PLEASE BRING YOUR FISHING ROD. A SEVEN FOOT ROD, A 55OO SERIES SPINNING REEL FILLED WITH 15LB LINE AND WE AREADY TO CATCH NOT JUST FISH. WE CAN START BEFORE SUN UP, THAT’S WHEN THE GREATEST NUMBER OF SPECIES ARE AT THE EDGE. SNOOK, TARPON, JACKS AND BLUES TO NAME A FEW, ALL RIGHT THERE IN CASTING RANGE. WE ARE ONLY CASTING ARTIFICAL LURES FROM FLOATER DIVERS TO SPOONS AND JIGS, WHICH EVER YOU HAVE THE MOST CONFIDENCE IN. THE FISH WILL BE AT YOUR TOES, CAST NORTH AND SOUTH FOR MOST, THE TARPON WILL OUT FRONT. TWO MORNING ON THE BEACH AND YOU WILL BE BACK. IF JUST SITTING IS YOUR THING, CATCHING A FEW RAYS WAIT TILL THE SUN COMES UP AND YOU CAN TAKE HOME PLENTY OF WHITING AND FEW WE FORGOT. LAZY SUMMER DAYS AND THE SURF JUST GO TOGETHER.

RIVER ANGLERS YOU NEED TO BE AT YOUR LOCATION BEFORE SUN UP THE WATER WARMS AND THE FISH MOVE DEEPER. PLENTY OF BIG TROUT JUST BEFORE DAWN CASTING TOP WATER INTO A FOOT OF WATER. SIX POUNDS IS A NICE TROUT AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF THEM. REDS TO THE WEST SIDE FROM COUNTY LINE NORTH AND THEN THE TARPON CATCH ANGLERS EYES AND THERE OFF CHASING THE SILVER KINGS. AFTER SUN UP LOOK TO THE DEEPER WATER USING LIVE OR SOFT RUBBER BAITS, SOME THING THAT YOU CAN SEND TO THE BOTTOM AND WORK SLOW AND SLOWER. NOW ON YOUR WAY BACK TO THE BOAT RAMP DRIFT TO EVERY CHANNEL MARKER AND TRY TO GET A TRIPLE TAIL TO COME TO YOU NOT GO THE OTHER WAY AROUND THE CHANNEL MARKER. PLENTY OF BIG JACKS TO KEEP YOU BUSY NO MATTER WHERE YOU FISH. FROM THE BRIDGES WE HAVE ALL THE USUAL SUSPECTS AND A FEW MORE. THE POMPS ARE STILL AT THE BRIDGE, BLUES AND MAC’S ARE BITTING EVERY THING OFF, NO I DO NOT KNOW WHY THESE GUYS ARE STILL HERE. THEY COME IN WAVES, PASSIN THROUGH QUICKLEY AND SOME TIME MORE THAN OTHERS. FLOUNDER FROM THE JENSEN CAT WALK AND A GOOD BITE OF TROUT AND REDS FROM THE PIER AT RIVER SIDE PARK. THE BRIDGES OFFER THAT SHADE AND DEEPER WATER WE TALKED ABOUT.

OFF SHORE HAS BEEN A MIX OF VERY HOT TO VERY COLD AND NOT MUCH IN THE MIDDLE. DOLPHIN IS THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER AND THE MOST HOT OR COLD. WITH WEED IN SIXTY FEET AND FOUR HUNDRED FEET THERE IS LOTS OF LOOK AT BUTTTTTTT WHERE IS THE FISH. THREE BOATS IN AND ONE IS CLEANING FISH AND THE OTHERS ARE ASKING QUESTIONS. LIVE BAITS OR DEAD ARE NOT AN ISSUE IT IS LOCATION. ONE DAY THE DOLPHIN ARE IN SIXTY FEET SOUTH OF THE INLET THE NEXT 150’ NORTH OF THE INLET YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE WATER TEMPS THAT WILL HELP YOU LOCATE THE DOLPHIN. ME BEING AN ANGLER THAT WANTS ROD PULLERS I START IN 30’ PLAY WITH A BIG SMOKER KING AND AFEW SNAKES THEN MOVE FROM THERE TO THE REEF LINES AND FIND ALL KINDS OF ROD PULLERS, MORE KINGS, SAIL FISH, COBIA AND IT IS BONITA FEST 2006 SO THERE IS ALWAYS PLENTY TO DO. DID YOU NOTICE NO DOLPHIN ON MY LIST, MAYBE NEXT TIME? BOTTOM BITE HAS BEEN A HARD CALL WITH COLD WATER DEEP, MOVING IN AND OUT, YOU MAY CHANGE LOCATIONS SEVERAL TIMES TILL YOU FIND THE WARM ZONE.

TILL NEXT WEEK KEEP ME POSTED ON YOUR DOLPIN CATCH, WOULD BE INTRESTING TO SEE THE TEMPS OF THE WATER THERE ARE IN BUT IT IS SUMMER COME ON DOWN AND LAZE THE DAY AWAY……….H
