Tripletail were running strong this past week.
The fishing this past week was excellent, with the water clearing up and temps are slowly getting cooler.
Inshore the snook bite remains strong as we had 2 days of catching and releasing over 20 snook on several trips as well as a few large jacks and mangrove snapper.
Friday morning Walt Plasson from CB’s joined me and we fished offshore. The seas were calm and the action was on fire.
Large schools of bait were being crashed by little funny and Spanish mackerel. We ended up catching and releasing 4 little tunnies on plugs and Castmaster spoons. Walt had brought his fly rod along so we decided to run the crab traps looking for tripletail. We ended up catching and releasing 15 tripletail and Walt caught his 1st on his fly rod.
It was my best day ever for tripletail as we caught a total of 4 off 1 buoy. We ended the day with a couple more tunnies and called it a day.
Thankfully it looks like it looks like things are really improving in our area finally.
