The fishing has been pretty off out front on the inshore reefs. We continue to have upwelling thanks to the constant southerly winds. The water temperature is fluctuating constantly from the upper 50s to the low 70s. The fish can't get acclimated and just turn off. So, we have been targeting the smaller fluke and little sea bass in the back bays.
The beaches are providing more consistent action with kingfish, spot, and a variety of other species. There are occasionally larger sharks and rays in the mix.
The back bays at night are loaded with peanut bunker and spearing....

Small blues are constantly harassing them. There are some stripers around here and there. The bite is definitely not what is should be though.
Things would bust wide open if the water would just get stable.

Fishing has been hot and cold, much like the water lately. Southerly winds are causing unwilling and it shuts the fishing down.
When we get northerly or westerly winds, and the water heats up, the fishing turns on.
We have been picking flounder off the reefs, and shorts un the back. There are triggerfish and sea bass on the reef structure as well. Ribbonfish made an appearance on a few of the wrecks too. In the surf we have been getting small weakies and blues, kingfish and spot. Occasional sharks and rays too.
