Fishing on the new moon this past week was nothing short of exceptional.
Last week the fishing on the new moon week was exceptional. We fished a combination of live bait in the passes and the nearby grass flats that produced excellent results.
With water temperatures increasing, the tides play a major factor when and how the fish respond. On several days we caught and released over 20 snook, some up to 35 inches, with many under slot fish, mangrove snapper, and trout. It seems the flounder are making a comeback as well.
The key during this current heatwave is pick your days, and get out there early.
