ALL YEAR LONG!!!!' | | Fishing Report for
March 1st, 2006
"Picking Up"
The last couple of weeks we have spent
several trips sitting right outside the St. Lucie Inlet catching an
assortment of fish including pompano, lane and mangrove
snappers,bluefish, sheephead, jacks, blue runners, black margates, and
mackerel mainly on shrimp and trollrites. We did run south to Peck's
Lake twice recently only spending a short time there. Lot's of netters
around but nobody was catching much. The spanish bite this year has been
weird. I'm sure if you wait them out, eventually they will turn on but
on a four hour trip I need to find fish fast.
Inside the inlet has been decent with ladyfish, pompano, bluefish,
goliath grouper and jacks. Both incoming and outgoing have been producing.
Yes the water turned brown again a few weeks ago but not quite as bad as it
was in December. We are still recieving a nice flushout on incoming tide
which to me is important.
The bridges have been hot for snook mainly in the evening and early
morning. The catwalks on the Jensen Causeway are open. Live shrimp or DOA
terrorize on the bottom have been working well. Some trout around the docks
in between the causeways but it seems the best bite is north of the power
lines where the bait is more concentrated.
We did catch 5 more tripletail since the last report. All the fish have
been between 6 and 10 pounds. Look for the larger ones over 20 pounds to
show around May. We have been mixing it up with shrimp and soft rubber baits
for the tripletail. The trout bite up to the power lines has been slow,
however when the water gets rough on the flats, try throwing a redtail hawk
and crank it fast.
All in all the fishing has been decent the past few months. We are not
quite back to "pre hurricane" numbers but the water has been cleaner (except
for the inlet the past few weeks) and baitfish are slowly returning. It's
good to see birds diving
Tight Lines,
