NOV.19, 2007 FISHING…
WELL STARTED THIS REPORT MANY TIMES BUT TO TELL ABOUT THE WIND AND RAIN, TURBID WATER AND JUST PLAIN BAD WEATHER IS NOT MY CUP OF TEA. BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE WEATHER IS ABOUT TO CHANGE, SOME LIGHT RAIN BUT THE SUN IS SHINING AND THE WIND IS NOT 30KNT. TEMPS DROPPED TO THE SIXTIES A COUPLE NIGHTS AND FISHING IS LOOKING PRETTY GOOD.
SURF ANGLERS LIKE THE COOLER WEATHER AND SO THE DO THE BLUE FISH AND SPANISH MAC’S. WALKING THE SURF EDGE CASTING SPOONS AND TOP WATER IN THE EARLY HOURS HAS KEPT ANGLERS BUSY, SO BUSY PLEASE GO TO A SINGLE HOOK, SCRAP THE TREBLES. FISH WITH TEETH WILL NOT STOP; IF THEY MISS THE BAIT THEY WILL JUST HIT IT AGAIN. TRYING USING SMALLER BAIT, THE SMALLER HOOK WILL CATCH THE MAC’S, THEIR MOUTH IS NOT AS BIG AS THE BLUES. THE WHITING HAVE MOVED THE WARMER WATER AND THE CROAKERS HAVE MOVED IN, BIG CROAKERS TO TAKE HOME FOR THE TABLE. COOL FOR THE SNOOK, I WOULD WAIT TILL LATER IN THE DAY WHEN THAT EDGE WARMS; THEY LIKE ME ARE NOT FANS OF COOLER TEMPS. PLENTY OF BIG JACKS AND THE SPINNER SHARKS ARE THERE TO SEE HOW FAST YOU CAN PUT YOUR CATCH ON THE BEACH. YES TOA FEW POMPANO BUT NOT ENOUGH TO SAY COME ON DOWN.
TROUT IS CLOSED NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER, SO THEY ARE EATING ANY THING YOU CAST, THEY KNOW THEIR SEASON IS CLOSED. COOLER WATER MEANS THE REDS WILL STAY UP IN THE FLATS LATER AND THE CATCH LIST PROVES ME RIGHT. LOTS OF SLOT SIZE AND OVER THROUGH OUT THE AREA AND THE COOL PART IS MOST ARE IN THE TWO FOOT AND LESS OF WATER. SOFT RUBBER BAITS, SHRIMP ON A JIG HEAD EVEN TOP WATER WILL WORK THE FISH HAVE BEEN HUNGRY. COOL PART IS FROM ROUND ISLAND IN NORTHERN ST. LUCIE COUNTY ALL THE WAY SOUTH TO THE SAILFISH FLATS HAVE HAD RED FISH IN THEM. INLETS, INCOMING TIDES, AGAINST THE JETTY AND A THREE ONCE SPOON WILL FIND THE BIG REDS, TWENTY POUND PLUS. YES, REPORTS OF POMPANO SKIPPING BEHIND THE BOATS HAS STARTED, SKIPPING NOT CATCHING. GOOD MIX OF BLUES, MAC’S AND A FEW MORE KEEP MOST BOATERS BUSY. BRIDGES HAVE BEEN REALLY BUSY FISHING, SNOOK, BLUES, MAC’S, JACKS, POMPANO, AND FLOUNDER THE LIST GOES ON AND ON. THE JENSEN BRIDGE HAS BEEN EXTRA HOT WITH POMPANO AND SPANISH AT ONE END AND SNOOK AND FLOUNDER AT THE OTHER. IN THE MIDDLE THE DRUM AND SHEEPHEAD, WITH A MIX OF ABOVE. TARGETING SNOOK, USE A BIG BAIT, BIG PIN OR PIG FISH SOMETHING THE OTHER FISH WILL NOT GO AFTER, BIG BAIT, BIG FISH ONLY.
OFF-SHORE 150’ TO 250’, RUN TILL YOU GET THE COLOR LINE. IF IT IS CLOSER START THERE AND WORK THAT LINE, BOTH SIDES. IT HAS BEEN DOLPHIN AND SAIL FISH AND MORE OF THE SAME. SOME BOATS COME IN WITH UP TO FIVE FLAGS FLYING; DOLPHIN IN THE TWENTY POUND CLASS AND THE COOL PART IS LIVE OR DEAD TAKE YOUR PICK BECAUSE THE FISH ARE CHEWING. COOLER TEMP IS MOVING A LOT FISH INTO THE AREA. THE SPANISH MAC’S HAVE NOT YET MADE IT TO THE KING FISH HOLE BUT THERE IS ABOUT AS MANY AS YOU CAN IMAGINE AT THE BOILS OFF THE POWER PLANT JUST EIGHT MILES NORTH OF OUR INLET.
ALL IN ALL THE WEATHER HAS STABILIZED AND THINGS ARE LOOKING REAL GOOD FOR THE ANGLERS AND NOT SO GOOD FOR THE FISH. TO ALL HAPPY "THANKSGIVING"………………………..HENRY
