Five-year-old Max Simmons, visiting from Ohio with his family, looks mighty happy wouldn’t you say.
Wow… this November weather has been perfect for fishing. The water has cooled down very quickly form the much warmer water temps of October and the fish are on the move and biting.
This week saw anglers catching quiet the variety of fish including snook, redfish, speckled trout, ladyfish, pompano, whiting, jack crevalle, black drum and grouper. Other fun fish caught that are unique in their own right were a large sea robin and a puffer fish. Highlights of the week included Doug Simmons and his five year old grandson Max, both from of Ohio, hooked and landed bay slams (trout, redfish and snook).
And on a second trip Doug’s three-year-old granddaughter caught a bay slam as well (with a little help from mom Amy). Mom Amy also landed a big speckled trout and a nice pompano. Most of the fish caught were on a variety of baits from live shrimp, CAL jigs and bucktailed jigs as well as mirror-dines and skitter walks for great top water action.
Remember, the best time to go fishing is when you can and be sure to save some for seed!
