Other than the
extreme afternoon heat, Saturday’s conditions were near ideal for
fishing. The surf gave up good numbers of trout along with Spanish
mackerel, jack crevalle, sheepshead, stingrays, sharks and a few reds.
The calm conditions in the surf should ignite tarpon action anytime now.

Jetty fishermen were continuing
to find fishing to be on the tough side during the morning, as tidal
movement did not get into motion until later in the day. Still, some
nice trout, reds, Spanish mackerel and a few flounder were taken by
anglers with patience.
John Harding and Buff Howell
were among the anglers anchored close to the end of the North Jetty on
Saturday, and while the action was not nonstop, they did manage a
respectable haul.
Using live croaker and shrimp for
bait, the anglers from the Caplan area landed several blacktip and bull
sharks, with the largest estimated to be 5 feet long. Other fish caught
included a bluefish, stingray, Spanish mackerel and a variety of pan
fish.
We have said many times recently that offshore fishing is in its prime, and Saturday was a good example of it.
For starters, the party boat Capt. John did not have to travel far offshore to get into some good action.
Capt. Johnny Williams
found the fish approximately 18 miles out where his 55 guests picked up
228 spade fish, 37 sharks, a ling, two kings, Spanish mackerel and a
variety of other fish.
Roland Mathews
fished farther out to get into some Dorado and other pelagic fish.
Matthews, along with two guests, fished wells and platforms in the
vicinity of the V.A. Fogg where they landed numerous kings and three
sharks along with a bonanza catch around a floating pallet. Six Dorado
to 23 inches were caught along with a large tripletail. Only the Dorado
and tripletail were retained.
Monday begins one of the best all-around fishing months of the year.
