Gradually! Strong cool fronts are spreading their timeline, allowing for southeast winds and warmer weather. Hopefully we get back on track with warm weather patterns and less cool fronts that pack a punch.
Back bays and canals have been excellent locations to target snook. The snook are cruising the mangrove shorelines in search of minnow pods. Rapala X wrap and Doa 3 inch shad tail, excellent baits to entice snook to strike. Common snook and fat snook have been the prevalent species, anglers have been catching. A few swordspine snook have been caught as well.
Anglers, looking for great topwater action the jack crevelle and bluefish have been very active along channel edges. Bluefish up to 10 pounds are aggressive, breaching the surface, striking Rapala skitter walks worked at a medium pace. These fish are schooling, so at times multiple fish are trying to strike the lures or a lure in the fishes mouth coming boat side.
Anglers looking to fish bottom structure. A plethora of species are abundant on rock piles and pilings. Jigs with shrimp and metal jigs have produced snapper, drum, mackerel, grouper, snook, grunts, and many other species. Great action for those looking for nonstop hook ups, a ton of fun for kids and families.
Well, that is the fishing report for the past week. Remember, you can’t catch them from the couch, so get out there and get hooked up. Tight Lines! PhlatsInshoreFishing.com visit us on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, twitter and YouTube.
