The Bite is On!


Took a friend of mine fishing.  Had heard from another friend that the bite was hot at Nassau Sound last week.  Things change in a week.  Lots of rain to change the salinity in the river and cooler temps add up to a non-existent bite at the Crady bridge.  Didn't want to get skunked so packed up and headed up the road to American Beach.  It was much more windy than the day before but the water was still clean.  Lots of foam and crashing waves, very "drummy" loooking.  Used day old shrimp, frozen clam and cut mullet for bait.  Started catching almost immediately.  Blues, Whiting, even a lady fish.  Another friend reported catching a small Pomp in South Ponte Vedre.    Most of the whiting are just under keeper with a few keepers mixed in.  No bulls or northern king fish yet.  I expect the bite to remain hot for the next 4-8 weeks with more catches of Black and Red Drum, Bull Whiting, and Pompano later in the week!
