ALL YEAR LONG!!!!' | | Fishing Report for
December 1st, 2005
"Cooling
Down"
Fishing is picking
up inshore with snook at area bridges banging broken back bomber lures
and rattle traps. Not much baitfish around so stick with swift moving
water at your favorite hole and work them hard. The St. Lucie inlet has
been quite productive on incoming tide when the water is green. We had a
trip last week spending over an hour drifting the inlet and the water
never did clean up. This was about the forth hour of incoming and
fishing was slow so we vacated. Other days when the water was cleaner,
redfish, ladyfish, jacks, sheephead and flounder topped the list.
In the sailfish flats area, fishing has been pretty good regardless of
water clarity. Lot's of ladyfish with a few jacks, bluefish and pompano
around. Have been seeing a few boats in this area fishing with sand fleas on
the bottom targeting pompano. I prefer drifting this area and a strong wind
is even better. This allows us to cover a larger area in less time. Docks
near the house of refuge are holding some large sheephead and some decent
mangrove snappers.
Bottom fishing at the area bridges has been hit or miss. Last week we
released several nice black drum along with a 9 pound redfish. Sheephead are
nice size running about 18" and small grovers mixed in. Have not fished any
channel markers lately for my favorite tripletail. Water temps in the Indian
River have been as low as 63 degrees in the morning and tripletail don't
like the cold. Sure there are still a few around but I'll wait till March to
play with them again.
Outside, the mac's have been hitting pretty good and decent size too. We
have been trolling and casting Capt. Joe's jigging spoons with good results.
The water at Pecks Lake has been brown most days so silver or chartruce have
been working best. Seems like a strong south current nearshore has pushed
the brown water south. Good news, I have only seen 1 commerical boat in that
area.
Finally, we should have the 28' Pacemaker back at AA Marina by December
10th. Really looking forward to offshore fishing again.
