FISHING REPORT: |
 |
UPDATE!!!
Fishing from shore? Get ready to clean seaweed off
your line as the summer sargassum is thick in most
areas. It seems there is less inside the pass and
jetties area. There are schools of spanish, ladyfish,
and bluefish moving up and down the beaches. I suggest
bubble rigs to keep above seaweed. Pompano bite will be
slower due to the green gunk in the water but they are
still there if you can spot them. The Pier at Pier Park
(Dan Russell) is being scheduled to be open before or on
July 4th. The new admission prices have been released by
the city. The prices have some in an uproar:
$2 - day pass
$6 - day pass for fishing (includes rod, reel, bait and
license)
$60- 20 visits, or 3 month pass
$180- annual pass (expires Sept. 30)New
Florida Parks/St Andrews Park Pass and Entry
Rates Increase:
Day-use entrance fee for vehicles with up to eight people: average
increase of
$1.00 - $3.00.
Camping fees: average increase of $4.00 per night.
Cabin rental fees: average increase of $10.00 per
night.
Annual Pass: $60.00 for individuals and $120.00 for
families up to eight people.
Tactics: Pompano are biting beach side from near
shore to the drop of the first sandbar. If you are
heading to the beach the bait to use are sand fleas.
Either purchase them or grab sand flea rake and shuffle
some sand to catch them yourself. They burrow down in
the sand an inch or so at the shore line in the wave
break. When you hook the little guys as bait remember
they will want to burrow back down in the sand to hide
so you will need a pompano rig with little floats or
something similar to keep them close to the bottom but
not able to dig back in the sand. If fishing for them
from a pier a light tackle, pompano jig, and a good eye
is preferred. Jigs come in all colors, Pink or white are
good colors to start with.
For Cobia your best bet you will need a cobia jig or a
live eel, a good pair of polarized eyeglasses, a good
eye, and a lot of patience. Most cobia fisherman find
tipping the hook of the cobia jig with a squid increases
chances of a hook up. From the piers or jetties face
east this time of year and look for schools of rays or
sea turtles as the Cobia run usually swim underneath
them. From a boat look for the same but being able to
covering more ground is very helpful.
Spanish, bluefish, ladyfish, Jacks, and bonita are
running up and down the coast out past beyond normal
casting distance from the beach so seek the State Park
Gulf Pier (which is slightly overcrowded due to other
piers being closed), the jetties, or the beaches inside
the State Park pass.
Although there are many methods to fishing for Spanish,
Bluefish, and Ladyfish currently a fast retrieved size 0
clarkspoon or squid spoon weighted with a 2oz weight
seems to be catching the most. A close second is a green
head/white body or yellow head/chrome body gotcha. Over
the next few months the bubble rig with a straw and/or
other various lures will become the tackle of choice.
A tactic I have found useful for catching bonita from a
pier/jetties is using a bubble rig trailing a clarksoon
with the red bead removed. Using a medium to fast
retrieve without popping the bubble.
If you want to catch a shark right now you will need
some strong wire leader, cut bait, big rod and reel, and
some patience. Various setups are available but I
suggest making your own. For casting from pier or beach
I actually find using picture framing hanging wire best
(cheap, strong, easy to store, tangle free, big sharks
down mind it) rigged with the biggest circle hook you
can get your hands on. Use larger weights if the
current is strong. The bigger hook the better.
There are some big sharks out there so you want to use
as long a leader as you can physically cast with your
setup. Every shark fisherman will tell you if your line
touches the shark your line will snap and you lost the
fish. You will need a big beefy rod and reel with high
pound test line...power pro works great. Various cut
baits work. Bonita, Ladyfish, and hard tails are among
these. Fish at night and have some patience!
