"Early Trout"
The trout bite
early has been hot, with 2-4 lb. fish inhaling topwater lures close to
shore on the Indian River. The west side has been most productive. Some
mullet and lots of glass minnows around steps up the action. The past few
weeks aboard Catch 22, we have mainly fished deep around bridges, channel
markers and cuts, with some nice catches. Our tripletail total for the
year is at 43, with most fish under 12 lbs. Last week produced 9 flounder
to 6 lbs., also caught in deeper water.
Black drum have suddenly reappeared near the bridges. No monsters, but
several to 10 lbs. were taken on shrimp and trollrites along with DOA
C.A.L.s and rootbeer shrimp. These fish are holding near the bottom. There
are tons of small mangrove snapper and some jacks to 10 lbs., while the
snook remain close to the pilings.
We have been staying away from the St. Lucie Inlet area. Since the
algae bloom began about six weeks ago, the inlet has been a dessert. Each
week I give it a quick try, but really haven't seen or marked much at all.
The snook should start showing up for the pre-spawn. Only a few days left
to keep any linesiders. Remember, June 1, snook season closes until
September 1. Try not to hammer these fish during the spawn and allow them
to reproduce which will benefit us all in the near future!
