Fishing Report for November 2nd
November 2nd, 2011 by Indian River Marina

The past weekend wasn’t good for fishing outside the inlet, but anglers fishing the inlet and Back Bays had some luck.

There are still Rockfish being caught in the inlet and back bays, although not in the numbers they were before the poor weather. Tog fisherman were having less luck due to the silted waters from the storm, but this should pick up once the water has cleared up. There are also reports of Bluefish being caught in the surf and in the Inlet, with some Hickory Shad to round out that fishing.

Anglers fishing in the Back Bays were having good luck on Rockfish in the inlets of some creeks, Bluefish are being caught in the same areas, along with an occassional Weakfish. Crabbers are still getting some fat crabs from the Back Bays and the Indian River.

Black Sea Bass reopened on November 1st and anglers who were fishing the Artificial Reef sites such as Reef Site 11 before the reopening were reporting some nice Sea Bass being caught and released there. Along with the Sea Bass, there should be some good fishing for Tog in those areas now that the conditions are calming down.

Bill Baker on his radio fishing report noted that larger Rockfish are now being weighed in for their Rockfish Tournament which is a good sign that the bigger fish are beginning to show up in the local waters.

There are still Charter Boats available for some Fall fishing at the marina. information for them can be found at www.destateparks.com/marinas/charter.asp . Good Luck and Tight Lines.
