Inshore- The weather has been a roller coaster recently with high and low pressures bouncing around our area, but the Sheepshead and Black Drum didn’t seem to mind. We saw a nice Redfish and heard a handful of whiting were caught from the jetty. Other than that, it was a little slow this past week inshore and along the pass. Sheepshead still loving pieces of live shrimp, fiddler crabs or cut up oysters. When waters are muddy, stinkier bait helps and the slower you retrieve your lures the better.
Near shore- Some nice hogfish, mangrove snapper and even some big Sheepshead plus tons of Grey Snapper is the reward for braving rough weather on a deep sea trip this time of year..
Offshore –Flying HUB 2 took a 44-hour full moon trip out and the catch was simply EPIC. They had a HUGE pile of fish for just two dozen anglers and nearly a full boat limit of Mangrove Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper and Vermillion Snapper! Some nice Scamp Grouper came in and a handful of fat Red Grouper too. We saw African Pompano, Yellowmouth Grouper, Mutton Snapper, Blackfin Tuna and Kingfish too. It’s a prime example of how great fishing ahead of a front can be!
