          Lets go catch a fish, one  of the great things about living in our area is our access to the water, from the surf, bridges, causeways and river we can catch a fish. Weeds on the surf, just go to the next access and catch a fish. Tarpon are rolling, Snook are eating and the Jacks will make you crazy. Now if the weeds are at your location go to the next one and the fish will be there I promise.  Every species is there on the glass minnows, small baits, so throw a small bait, match the hatch, it works. The catch list has been long, from big to small, Tarpon, Snook, Jacks and on to Whiting, Pompano, Croakers, the surf edge has been the location for numbers.  Early is best for the big fish and the Whiting and Croaker are there all day, so when you are ready dinner is waiting.
         Tarpon in many locations and so is their menu, match the hatch, what is at this location.  North Fork that little D.O.A TerrorEyz, surf the MirrOdine and Indian River changes by the minute but for sure no matter the location a live Crab will get their attention.  Trout bite has been excellent, but fish at low light in the shallow water, your favorite baits are working.  Triple Tails on the channel markers, crab trap floats, just about any thing floating has been holding fish. Drum from  the bridges, as long as the water is moving that is your key. River water quality is excellent and so is the fishing, amazing what happens when we let mother nature run the show.
         Off-shore the Sail Fish has slowed but still excellent with catches reported from twenty feet to eighty feet of depth. Plenty of bait, spend a little time on the schools that fish you are looking for may be there.  Kings started at the bait School and went out to sixty feet, the King fish numbers is the place for all of the above. Till next week, do not forget the camera.............................................Henry
 

 

June 1, 08 fishing


 
         Lets go catch a fish, June and the wind is down, the river is flat and the ocean is just as polite.  The turbity has settled down, it is full summer mode. Off shore the bait has made a strong show form the House of Refuge all the way north to the old Holiday Inn. No excuses.
         Snook season closed on the first so they are every where, eating any thing you put in the water. If you are going to target these fish take the barbs off and go to circle hooks, prevents gut hook ups and ensures they will be there for another day. This is their spawn time, lots of big fish, use heavy tackle and muscle these fish to the boat for a quick release, this is tomorrows fish you are catching today.  Good Tarpon bite going, weather you are fishing the North Fork or the Indian River the bite is on. These fish are eating small baits, MirrOdine, TerrorEyz, quarter ounce shrimp and small pins are getting the attention.  When you see these fish rolling, cast in front of them and just let the bait fall you will know when they pick it up. Trout, Jacks, Flounder and Triple Tail all made the catch list this week.  From the bridge it has been
Sheephead, Drum, Mackerel, even a few Pompano have been eating live shrimp. Yes there have been Tarpon and Snook to test the warranty on your equipment. It is summer mode, bridges with shallow, deep and most important shade are the perfect environment, remember the comfort zone.
         Surf anglers, Whiting and Croakers for the table with few early morning blue fish on Shrimp and Clam pieces. These fish are up close so just pitch your bait to the trough, if you cast you will be beyond the fish. the Snook and Tarpon are there also, so do not walk to far from your equipment. If that is your target, please step into the surf and release them as quickly as possible, do not crank them up on the sand, it will remove their slim coat leaving them unprotected.
           Off shore the Dolphin bite has been scattered form 80' to 125' not big fish but not peanuts either. Nice King bite starting in that 30' zone and Sails starting from 60' out. Live baits, trolled Bally hoo what ever you prefer. The bottom bite to the south seems to be more productive, but 90' out of the Ft. Pierce inlet has been hot. time for the Muttons to show and the Bonita are every where.
           Till next week patience at the boat ramp and where is the camera.......................HENRY
 

 

Hi my name is Frank,

 Went fishing last night Wed 6/5/08 out of Jupiter Inlet to seek some rod pullers in an evening adventure. I went with a good friend from work, Kurt. Got a call at 5pm and out the door within five. Met up my friend and his son after 5:30 at Seagate marina. We went straight east five miles out and saw close to hundred boats. Pulled up next to the commercial guys and saw three boats closest to use with poles bent and touch the water. The boats were chumming hard! We through in our lines to get’m wet. We chummed as well and within minutes we started pulling up our rods and wet lines.

We had a BLAST!

Little Blake the smallest guy with the smallest rod got the biggest of the night, a 25lb king. Kurt and I were very proud of this young wise man that fought this monster and brought him up from the deepest of the big blue.

 Way to go Blake!

A friend/brother of your dad!

 Frank
