"Green
Grass of Home"
Finally back in action after spending ten
days preparing my yard for a sprinkler system and sod. Yard looks great
and now I can focus my attention on the really important things in my life
"FISHING". We did managed to get out a few times last week . Two
trips I ran south to the St. Lucie Inlet to catch the incoming tide which
worked great with 10-15 mph SE winds. A mixed bag of mangrove snapper,
blue runners, sheephead and jacks. No big numbers in the inlet last week.
Tides have been running super low the past week which may be affecting the
bite. In the Sailfish flats, ladyfish have been hot and cold. One trip we
released a dozen in an hour with the next day being slow.
Further north in the grass on the west side near Walton Road, trout
are everywhere till 9:00 am. We are coming into the summer pattern so you
need to get out there as early as possible. After 10:00 am I like to
target tripletail and flounder on the channel markers up and down the
Indian River. We did catch our eighth tripletail of the year weighing just
under 10 pounds. Snook are around area bridges at night with the ten cent
bridge holding some nice fish. Have not seen any snook in the inlet area
yet but we are approaching their annual spawn so they should show up in
the surf and inlets shortly.
I have taken the pontoon out trolling for dolphin a few times, only
catching one in 57 feet. Last year at this time they made a strong showing
so it's just a matter of time. This Wednesday I have a full day charter
for snook. We will cover lot's of ground in 8 hours so sideliners beware.
Short report this week.
Tight lines,
Capt. Bob
