"Lookin for Snookin"
Well it's the dog days of
summer with temps in the 90's and thunder boomers in the afternoon. It's
also the spawning months for snook along the Treasure Coast. Along the
beaches and inlets look for these linesiders with live baits such as
mullet, sardines and greenies. It's important to use those circle hooks
for a safe catch and release. Artificial baits like DOA's terrorize and
baitbusters and Berkley's gulp will also do the trick. The St. Lucie
Inlet has been holding snook along the south side near all those
dredging pipes and of course at the detached jetty. Remember come
September the new snook regulations start with 1 fish per person and a 4
inch slot from 28 to 32 inches. They are really making it tough for us
!!!!!
Plenty of boats are still targeting those tarpon in the crossroads area.
Pretty simple, anchor up and toss a few live baits off the stern and let
them swim. It's a waiting game but sooner or later someone will enhale them.
Besides tarpon in this area, expect some large jacks, snook or sailcats. The
inlet has been super clean the past few months and the baitfish seem to be
around.
Some tripletail are around the dime bridge and docks in the St. Lucie
River. The black drum bite has slowed down along with the croaker bite. Up
north in the Indian River, the trout bite has been good in 3-4 feet till
about 9am. Some days the east side is hot and the next day the west is best.
The main thing is get out early if fishing the shallow water. Channel
markers in the Indian River have been slower than normal for tripletail but
holding tons of small lane and mangrove snapper along with a few flounder.
Last week we even caught 3 bonnet head sharks on the markers. Arond the
Jensen Bridge a mix of flounder, snook and snappers. I know there is a
golaith grouper down there over 100 pounds because I got my clock cleaned
twice. Think I need to beef it up a bit !!!!!
