FISHING 1/28/12

How about this nice weather, warmer than usual temperatures are great for me but it makes it hard for the fish. Fish move with the temp changes and if the water is warm they are just not sure what to do. Surf is prime, water is warm well warmer than usual and the Blue fish and Pompano are just not sure. Trout do not have problem but the Reds are not sure and me I love it. So that explains why we have no pattern to their movements, I think, now if the fish will read this they will really be confused.

Surf has been very polite both early and late, fish have no pattern there is no temps driving them, so it is in and out all day. Have had anglers catching Pompano at county line and not a one at Jensen, Blues at Virginia Forest and none at Stuart and yet at differing times they have showed at both locations. So it might pay to look before bringing your equipment down, stay on the dune walk and look for any thing that looks fishy. Color lines, birds, bait and reason for the fish to be there, bring two rods fish one with a cut bait and one a lure, start with that long cast and the second rod a medium cast, take your time, the fish will show. This week on the catch list Blues, Pompano and Whiting, a Cobia that took all the line and quite a few bite offs so you just have to be there.

River Anglers had plenty of slot Trout, then the wind and turbity picked up and we were back to looking for the flat water and the green water. Reds at County Line, Trout from Little Mud north to Bear Point all in the late morning. Plenty of rod pullers, big Lady fish, Jacks, Blues no one complained about action just hard to nail down a species. Fishing from a boat, Pompano a plenty,Inlet, Crossroads,Hells Gate and the wide North Fork all reported limits, it was the timing that made things a little difficult, and yes it was that Jigging Spoon that did the damage.

Off shore has been easy fishing, get on a bait school and stay there. We have had big bait schools from 30’ out, Sardines are on top of the Horn Bellies. Lower your sabiki slowly and at first hit bring it back, may take a while to fill a bait well but you will get the bait. Cobia still top the list but Sails a plenty, put a little heat on these Sails so when you release them they swim away. Cobia swimming up to the boat so have the pitch rods rigged and ready and then you can go out and look for a Dolphin, KIng or a Wahoo, all have been on the catch list.

So I still like it warm......................................................HENRY
