Fishing Report by Sue Foster

Water Temperature (WTMP): 46.8 °F

Well, it's going to be a short fish report. I didn't see or hear any surf
reports. Weather has just been too bad. There's been a few stripers at
Indian River Inlet, and stripers offshore where you can't keep them. A very
few inshore were reported.

Didn't hear of any surf reports this week. Water temperatures are still OK
to catch some fish, just haven't had much decent weather for standing on the
beach! Not saying someone didn't catch a fish on the beach, but we didn't
get any reports!

Many anglers ask about reading the beach when surf fishing. "Poppy" a very
good angler has posted another very good description with pictures on
Stripers Online. Check it out:
Reading the Beach He draws it out completely! If you're not catching
fish in the surf, you need to study this!

Anglers fishing the Inlets in boats are still fishing for stripers and
picking up a few when the weather is decent. More anglers are fishing
offshore. Stay within the 3-mile limit! Boaters follow the birds diving up
and down the coast. They jig, troll, or cast. Bucktails, Mann's Stretch
Lures, Swimming Shad Lures, Diamond Jigs.... It all works!
