6/3/09 Florida Bay- Summer Bite

Flamingo - Saltwater Fishing Report
Summer is here and its hot. Slick calm mornings, fish pushing wakes, tailing, blowing up bait on a mangrove shoreline and of course those horseflies flying around the cockpit of the boat biting at your ankles and toes when you least expect them to. The fishing has been great this week in Florida bay. Snook, Tarpon, Redfish and Trout have been on the flats, island motes and channel runoffs. This time of year getting out early at first light is always a good plan. When the night passes after a hot day the temps go down and the fish feel comfortable again at first light to jump on the flats and get there feed on. A stealthy approach and a natural presentation of your artificial/fly has been the ticket. We caught fish on jerk baits rigged weed less, Gulp shrimp/live shrimp on a 1/4 ounce jig head and DOA Shrimp. Using something you have confidence that you will catch something on it usually works out well too.
Summer is here and the fish are following that summertime pattern. Lets get out there and get in that pattern and catch some fish!
