08-02-11 TUESDAY: SNOOK, REDS, MANGROVE SNAPPER, FLOUNDER AND MARGATE

This morning winds are blowing out of the Southwest at 7 mph and there is a nice little chop on the water.

There has been a pretty good mullet run since the weekend and it's still going on. Snook have been thick; they are spawning and can be persnickety and only interested in taking care of business or may grab just about anything dangled in front of them. Please handle these fish with extreme care. See the top right corner of this page to learn more about catch and release species. Reds have been very active on the tide changes but most have been oversized and returned to the water. Mangrove Snapper have been the best bet for table fare lately with a few Margate, Permit, Flounder and Sheepshead thrown into the mix.

Our angler of the day is inlet regular Chuck Fischer of Satellite Beach with a couple of Permit he landed Friday using live shrimp. Nice catches Chuck!

08-01-11 MONDAY: MANGROVE SNAPPER, MARGATE, REDS AND SNOOK

It looks like we have a beautiful day ahead of us. There is little chance of rain and the temperature today is only supposed reach into the high 70s; it looks like a great day to get out and wet a line!

Fishing was just fair over the weekend. Of course we had the big catch and release Snook and oversized Reds but as far as filling the cooler, there wasn't much of that going on. Mangrove Snapper, a few Black Margate and a few Spanish Mackerel were landed but we understand there have been some Barracuda trolling around the jetties and they could be keeping away the fish, well....at least the smart ones.

Our first photo today is of Scott Beyer with a real nice 38" catch and release Snook he landed off the north jetty on Saturday evening using live mullet. Scott released this Snook unharmed after the photo. Great catch Scott!
