SEPT. 12, 06 FISHING

I AM BACK, SERVER, I-NET PROVIDER, AND A FEW MORE THAT I DO NOT OR CARE TO UNDERSTAND. I WILL JUST STAY WITH THE FISH, THEY ARE HUNGRY OR THEY ARE NOT HUNGRY IT IS JUST THAT SIMPLE AND THAT IS MY SPEED. NOW LETS GO CATCH A FISH.
THE SURF HAS BEEN UP AND DOWN WITH STORMS THAT MISSED US, BUT THE SNOOK FISHING HAS BEEN EXCELLENT. ANGLERS WALKING THE BEACH AS THE SUN RAISES CASTING A WIDE VARITY OF BAITS HAVE FOUND PLENTY OF FISH. MY FAVORITE LOCATIONS ARE THE HOUSE OF REFUGE AND THE JETTY AT THE INLET. I KNOW THE JETTY IS A WALK FROM BATH TUB ACCESS BUT YOU PROBABLY WILL HAVE YOUR FISH BEFORE YOU GET THERE. STILL TO SEE THE FISH PUSH THE BAITS IN TO THAT POCKET IS STILL WORTH THE WALK. THE HOUSE OF REFUGE WITH ITS ROCKS AND LEDGES IS GREAT JUST REMEMBER TO USE A FLOAT/ DIVING PLUG OR YOU WILL GET SNAGGED. BUT WE HAVE HAD GOOD REPORTS FROM MOST BEACH ACCESS POINTS; IT IS THE TIME THAT IS IMPORTANT, SUN UP. LOTS OF WHITING AND CROAKERS, THE SURPRISE IS THE BLUE FISH AND SPANISH MAC’S. NOT SURE WHY THEY HAVE MADE THE SHOW BUT THE SCHOOLS SEEM TO RUN THROUGH. FEW POMP'S BUT NOT ENOUGH TO TARGET. THE COOL THING IS THAT ANY TIME YOU GO THERE IS SOME SPECIES TO CATCH AND THE SURPRISE.
OFF SHORE LETS JUST SAY THERE IS A LOT MORE FISHING AND A LOT LESS CATCHING. SEA CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN EVERY THING FORM COLD TO CLOUDY WATER. STORMS MAY PASS BUT IT TAKES A WHILE FOR THE SEA TO CALM AND RETURN TO NORMAL. THE COLD WATER WAS IN AND OUT, THE CLOUDY WATER IS WITH US IN PLACES AND THE BAIT HAS BEEN JUST AS HARD TO FIND. THE CATCH LIST IS THERE WITH ALL ON THE BOARD BUT THE NUMBERS HAVE BEEN LESS FOR THE AMOUNT OF FISHING TIME. AT THE MOMENT THE KING FISH NUMBERS HAVE BEEN A GOOD PLACE TO LOOK OR RUNNING SOUTH HAS ALSO BEEN A GOOD BET. BOTTOM FISHING HAS BEEN REAL HARD HIT WITH THE COLD, MOST ANGLERS ARE SOUTH OF THE TOWER REEF. TODAY WE ARE HAVING BIG SWELLS, LEFT FROM A STORM THAT WENT NORTH, GREAT FOR THE SURF CROWD, A LITTLE TOO MUCH ROCKING FOR MY WELL BEING. THE OTHER SIDE IS TOMORROW IT CAN BE CALM AND WARM AND BAIT EVERY WHERE, HARD CALL. DOLPHIN HAS BECOME HARDER TO FIND BUT THE WAHOO HAVE MADE A STRONG SHOW STARTING IN THE SIXTY FOOT OF WATER ZONE. STILL A FEW COBIAS, STRONG KING FISH BITE TO THE SOUTH, SNAPPER AND GROUPER????????
TARPON ARE EVERY WHERE, WIDE NORTH FORK, CROSS ROADS, CAUSEWAYS AND THE POWER PLANT TO NAME A FEW. SNOOK, PICK A BRIDGE IN DARK HOURS OR CATCH THE OUT GOING TIDE IN THE INLETS AND YOU HAVE A FISH. PLENTY OF SLOT SIZE TROUT IN THE INDIAN RIVER, LOOK IN THE DEEPER WATER, THREE TO FOUR FEET AND IT IS LIMIT TIME. THAT’S WHAT I LIKE ABOUT FISHING, IT’S SIMPLE, HUNGRY OR NOT. TRIPLE TAIL DID NOT MAKE THE LIST BUT THE MAC’S FROM THE JENSEN BRIDGE HAVE BEEN OUT OF CONTROL. BLUES ARE CRUISING AND I MIGHT ADD TAKING A FEW MIROLURES HOME WITH THEM. THE BIG DRUM FROM THE ROOSEVELT HAS SLOWED WITH THE FRESH WATER RUN OFF BUT MOST OF THE OTHER SUSPECTS HAVE STAYED.
TILL NEXT WEEK, RAIN, RAIN GO A WAY COME BACK AGAIN ANOTHER DAY……………………………
