Indian River Lagoon - Saltwater Fishing Report
Capt. Ron Bielefeld's Indian River Lagoon trout, redfish, and snook fishing report-Sebastian Area
The early morning top-water bite has been fairly consistent lately, but with the full moon an early start (before light) has been required. The good bite has been ending by about 9:30. We are definitely in the summer pattern! If you have been trying top-water and not having much luck, here is a hint, go big! We have been having our best luck on the Yo-Zuri Hydro Popper and the Yo-Zuri Hydro Pencils. These are relatively big lures with tons of pop, rattle, and action. The big trout and snook are feeding on large mullet in the areas I have been fishing and it seems you need to imitate these large bait fish and get the predators attention away from the mullet to get these fish to hit. The large lures are the way to do just that. As usual I have been focusing my attention on points and the edges of flats near deeper water. I have been fishing areas with good current, good grass, and a good amount of bait activity. Some times it has taken awhile to get a hit, but I know the fish are there and once they get turned on to what I am doing, the action has been fairly steady. Once the sun is up I have been switching to the Yo-Zuri Jerk O, again a larger lure, which dives to about 2 feet and fishing the deeper water just off the shallow areas I was fishing early. This pattern should continue through the summer and on into early fall. So, get out early if you want some good action!
Sincererly,
Capt. Ron
