Dec. 15, 06 FISHING

FINALLY THE WIND STOPED BLOWING, THE RAIN GAVE UP AND THE SUN IS SHINING, I LOVE THIS PLACE. NOVEMBER WAS JUST WIND AND MORE WIND AND THEN WE STARTED WITH DECEMBER AND THE RAIN. BEEN AWHILE FOR ANY RAIN AND WE DID NEED IT DESPRATELY, NOW I WILL NOT HAVE TO ADD WATER TO THE POOL. THINGS ARE GOOD, DID I TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LIKE THIS PLACE.

AS ALWAYS AFTER WEEKS OF EAST WIND THAT SPARKLING BLUE WATER IS TIGHT ON THE BEACH AND THE BLUE WATER FISHING IS HOT. MOST ACTION STARTS AT THE 80FT MARK AND GETS BETTER AS YOU GO OUT. TROLLED BALLY HOO IS THE BAIT, LIVE BAITS HAVE NOT SCHOOLED AS OF YET, BUT SOON THEY WILL. SAIL FISH SEEM TO BE AT ALL DEPTHS, HUNGRY AND MULTIPLE HOOKS UP THE NORM. FIND ONE AND THERE IS ALWAYS ANOTHER CLOSE BUY. THESE ARE NOT THE BIG BOYS, OUR RESIDENT SAILS BUT MIGRATING FISH TRAVELING IN NUMBERS, LOTS OF SHOW, AND LOTS OF FUN. BIG KINGS, THIRTY POUND CLASS FISH, THROW IN A TWENTY FIVE POUND TUNA AND A WAHOO OR TWO AND IT MAKES FOR A GREAT DAY. DID I MENTION THE DOLPHIN, TWENTY POUND CLASS REAL NICE FISH. THE OFF SHORE LIST WAS LONG THE ONLY THING MISSING WAS A COBIA OR TWO BUT EXCELLENT OFF SHORE, BRING THE MAT TACLE DO NOT TAKE A KNIFE TOA GUN FISHT. YES, THE MAC’S ARE IN THE PECKS LAKE AREA.

SNOOK IS CLOSED, TROUT OPENS ON THE FIRST SO YOU KNOW THAT MEANS, THEY WILL EAT ANY THING YOU PUT IN THE WATER. BRING THE CAMERA THE BIG SNOOK SEEM TO BE EVERY WHERE WITH MONSTER TROUT ACROSS ANY OF THE LOCAL FLATS. REDS HAVE MADE A STRONG SHOW FROM THE POWER PLANT SOUTH TO THE INLET, THE BITE HAS GONE INTO LATE MORNING AND YOU JUST CAN NOT BEAT A GOLD SPOON. THE POMPANO MOVED IN WITH MANY LOCATIONS FOR THE BOATERS BUT STILL WAITING AT THE BRIDGES. THE BRIDGES HAVE BEEN LATE TO START FOR THE POMPS. NOT SURE WHY ALL IS PERFECT FOR THEM BUT IT IS TWO HERE AND TWO THERE NOT THE USUAL BITE. BUT THIS IS A NEW WEEK. LOTS OF BLACK DRUM AT THE BRIDGES, FISH TO FIFTEEN POUNDS. KNOW YOUR LIMITS, MUST BE NOT LESS THAN 14" OR MORE THAN 24" AND YOU MAY POSSESS ONE OVER 24", 5 IS THE BAG LIMIT. KEEP COUNT OF YOUR FISH OR THE MAN IN GREEN WILL. THE REALLY BIG DRUM CAN BE A SERIOUS FIGHT SO BRING YOU CAMERA, GREAT FIGHT, AND POOR TABLE FARE. BLUE FISH AND MAC’S IN STRONG SCHOOLS, SO BE READY WITH YOUR RIGGING AND THESE ARE REALY NICE SIZE FISH, BE READY.

THE SURF HAS FINALLY SETTLED, SURFERS HAVE HAD A GREAT MONTH, NOW IT IS THE ANGLERS TURN. GOOD BITE OF BLUES THROUGH OUT THE DAY ON SPOONS AND CUT BAITS. SNOOK ARE ON TOUR EATING WHAT EVER YOU THROW, THE JACKS WILL KEEP ALL BUSY. WHITING IN THE TROUGH AND MORE BLUES, SNOOK AND JACKS, THE ACTION HAS BEEN AT YOUR TOES. SEVEN FOOT ROD, FIFTEEN POUND TEST, FORTY POUND LEADER AND A CHROME SPOON WILL KEEP YOU BUSY. POMPS ARE A HARD CALL WITH A FEW HERE AND THERE, STILL KNOW PATTERN. THE FLEAS ON THE BEACH ARE THICK THE POMPS CAN NOT BE FAR BEHIND.
