It seems that we can always find something that impairs our fishing and for days now it has been fog.
Fog is not to be taken lightly as boaters not experienced in operating vessels during such conditions often have serious and even fatal accidents while trying to maneuver their boats back to dock.
Today there is a dense fog advisory until late morning and anglers using good judgment will not head out into the soupy mess.
All it takes is an experience
with fog to make the point. I said experience and that is not limited to
bad experience. Years ago in my early days of boating, I was caught in
Clear Lake when fog set in rendering visibility to near zero. Although
shore was not far away, my fishing companion and I went aground twice
before reaching a point that was over a mile from where we launched.
Memories of events like that will last a lifetime.
Thursday the party boat Capt.
John maneuvered through fog to make it to the Heald Bank Area where
Capt. Jill Williams found fish for her 52 guests. Their catch included
full red snapper limits to 16 pounds with squid being the bait.
Closer to shore, sheepshead,
black drum, whiting and scattered reds are being caught by anglers
fishing the surf and jetties. Trout action continues to be fairly good
in Upper West Bay where some nice-sized specks were caught in the late
afternoon.
Marita Schultz sent a note saying
that Pelican Rest Marina’s fuel dock now is open seven days a week from
8 a.m. until 5 p.m. and that a number of new fishing tournaments will
be operating out of there this year. Along with all those activities,
the marina’s second phase which is complete is filling up quickly.
