ALL YEAR LONG!!!!' | | Fishing Report for
December 3rd, 2004
"Cleaner Water "
Cannot believe it's
December already. The inland waters have really cleaned up mainly due to
the stopping of water releases just west of us at the spillways. The
Indian River actually has a green tint to her and you can tell by the
increase in both baitfish and fish being caught. The trout bite remains
very strong on both sides of the Indian River. I have heard reports of
over 100 fish in 3 hours. Best time seems to be morning but fish can be
caught in the afternoon with the temps dropping. Remember trout season
is closed now and will reopen January 1st.
The pompano are slowly starting to show up in a few locations. The other
day we spent an hour or so in the Sailfish Flats and did see a few skipping
around and did manage to catch a few around 2 pounds. Tons of jacks in this
area with scattered ladyfish action. I have noticed several boats anchored
in the St. Lucie inlet on the outgoing tide waiting for the pomp bite but
really didn't see much happening. The inlet lately has been quite
interesting with a variety of fish. Snook, redfish, flounder, jacks, and
sheephead to name a few.
Outside the mackerel bite will remain strong into March or April of next
year. Just have to get mother nature to cooperate. Capt. Joe's jigging
spoons remain my bait of choice. The larger macs have been on the bottom
lately.
We have been doing some structure fishing at area bridges and some
pilings with mixed results. Some days are great with snook, grouper,
flounder, goliaths, drum and sheephead. Other days you really have to work
at it. Guess that's why they call it fishing!!!
Looks like I will be returning to my home marina on Indian River Drive
February 1st. Right now they are pouring a new seawall and still have the
new docks to go in. I would like to thank Dean over at Pelican's Nest on 707
in Rio for offering dock space till my marina is finished.
