Indian River Lagoon - Saltwater Fishing Report
Capt. Ron Bielefeld's Indian River Lagoon trout, redfish, and snook fishing report-Sebastian Area
As those of you who have read at least some of my past reports know, I usually do not mention names in my fishing reports. I just get right to the point about what has been happening on the Lagoon. However, in this report I am going to break with tradition. Yesterday I had the great privilege of having Mr. Paul Michele, National Sale and Marketing Manager for Yo-Zuri Lures on my boat. Again, if you have been reading my reports over the years you know I use a lot of Yo-Zuri lures and now their new HD Carbon disappearing pink Fluorocarbon. Consequently, having a chance to fish with Paul was particularly exciting for me. I now had a chance to learn how to really use Yo-Zuri Lures to their utmost effectiveness. Plus Paul is a great guy and blast to fish with, so I knew the day would be fun no matter how many fish we caught.
We started the day early with our first cast being made at about 5 am. It did not take long for Paul to show his prowess at using Yo-Zuri lures, for within the first 45 minutes or so he had fooled several trout into thinking his Yo-Zuri Banana Boat was a tasty mullet. One of these fish tipped the scale at 6 pounds and another was 7 pounds. Those are nice trout! Throughout the morning we boated numerous other trout and snook using Banana Boats and 3D Fingerlings. Once the sun was up the 3D Fingerlings really started to shine, and at one point for about 45 minutes we caught trout on just about every cast. The weather was perfect and overall the trip was just plain fun. What makes all this even better is that we had a camera man on board, so all of the action and informative conversation was captured on video tape to be broadcast on Adventures in Saltwater TV on a not to far in the future Sunday morning. So, if you want to see what really happened and possibly learn something from Paul, the master of the Yo-Zuri lures, (I know I learned a lot), check your local TV listings and watch the show. If you have Comcast Cable the show is on channel 20 otherwise it varys a bit if you have Direct TV or another provider.
Anyway, lets discuss a bit more about where we fished given you already know what we used as lures. As usual for me, we concentrated on shallow grass that was holding a lot of bait. Believe me, it is not hard to find bait right now. Specifically, we fished three areas on shallow grass flats that were the shallowest of all. Right now the water is pretty low and at low tide it is easy to pick out the shallowest areas on what otherwise may seem like a rather uniformly shallow flat. These spots on the spot as I like to call them many times are concentration points for the largest of the foraging fish using the area. So, look for these types of areas when you are out on the water, they consistently produce large fish like they did yesterday and have for the past couple of weeks. We worked our lures with varying pace to make sure we catered to the fish’s individual tastes. I believe fish are like people in at least one way. Some like it fast and some like it slow. So why fish for just some of the fish, speed it up and slow it down and you will give many more fish on the flat exactly what they are looking for. These day, given that we are coming into summer and water temps are in the low 80s, I recommend fishing early and late in the day if you want to catch the big fish off the flats.
Until Next Time, Tight-Lines to all.
Sincerely,
Capt. Ron Bielefeld
