Fishing report week of July 26th, 2018
It seems to be raining every day, but the fishing has been
great. You can move away from the
thunderstorms. You can find the Reds
& Snooks inshore but the best time to catch them is early in the morning or
late in the afternoon with an outgoing tide. Bait of choice has been Greenbacks
and there is plenty around first thing in the morning. After that, the sun forces them to hide in
the grass beds. You will need to use
chum to try to get them out of the grass. There are plenty of Snook and Reds in
the deeper pockets just look for the darker spots when you are in only a few
feet of water. That is where they will
hang out. Free line a Greenback and give
it time. Do not rush to reel it in. Offshore the Grouper bite has been great! You can catch great shallow rock grouper in
state waters. Here are some tips to
catching them 1. Use a weight to bring bait to the bottom. Do not let the current bring your bait to the
surface. 2. Setup your bait to look and swim as naturally as possible. 3.
Always have your rod in your hand and keep your finger touching the line. With the heavier the rod it will be harder to
feel the fish. 4. Use the correct equipment for Grouper fishing. 5. Once you feel
the Gag, set the hook and start reeling fast.
This is important. They will swim
to safety and you will get snagged and
the bite will be over. 6. Position your boat a few feet from a wreck,
a reef, etc. Make sure the current is heading
towards your target. 7. Last cutup a few
bait and chum up the water to get them into eating mood.
