Anglers, don’t let the lack of live shrimp stop you from fishing.
Bait camp operators are reporting slower business than usual as a result of the shortage; however, live mullet has turned out to be an excellent substitute.
Artificial baits are also doing their job on big trout with She Dogs, Corkies, Mirrolures and a variety of soft plastics taking some nice sows.
Saturday night, Evan Ture was fishing off the dock of his the Sea Isle home of his aunt and uncle (Nick and Linda Endres) and landed a trout that measured longer than 24 inches. Live mullet was the bait.
Last week, Sean Hill fished for reds and flounder in East Bay using live fingerling mullet and had the surprise of his young life when a 27-inch trout took the bait.
Hill thought he had a slot red on the line and almost lost the fish at the boat. An 18-inch flounder was his only other catch.
Late Friday afternoon, Greg Valenti of Pirates Cove was wade fishing the cove next to Lake Como and landed a 22-inch trout while tossing Texas Trout Killers.
Valenti asked that we warn waders of the large number of small stingrays in the marshes.
Offshore conditions have been marginal at best lately; however, that did not stop Capt. Paul Stanton, Aqua Safari Charters, from making successful fishing trips into the Gulf of Mexico.
Saturday, both of Stanton’s boats fished offshore.
The Island Girl, the flagship of his fleet, carried the Michael Carroll party of eight to fishing grounds 12 to 30 miles out where the highlights of the trip were a 40-pound king and a nice keeper ling.
The Sea Trek hosted the Gregory Fischer party of six, who fished the same area, and their big fish was a 62-pound ling.
Other fish landed by both boats were red snapper to 12 pounds, redfish, sharks and triggerfish and all were released.
Spanish sardines was the bait of choice.
