Whats running on the beach up around IRB, Reds or Snook??
Replies
was down there about 2 weeks ago and not much action of the beaches then. at that time water temps were only 70-71 water was dirty and very few birds and bait pods. We did not see nor catch anything on the beaches , but did limit on trout, some nice flounder and mangos and sheepies. with water temps jumping 10 degrees since then I;m betting on the poons running up the beach by now. I hear macks are here but in the past month I've caught more inshore than off the beaches. have yet to see schools popping bait, nor have I seen cobia or triple tail yet. of course that does not mean they are not there yet.
good luck!
doubt it
Not a lot running on the beaches yet that I've heard. Water is finally 79 so that'll change soon. the incoming weather doesn't look good for the King of the Beach tournament... Bull sharks seen to be running...
Right off the beach you will find nothing for another couple weeks, until the snook start coming. A couple of miles off the beach, on hard bottom you can find kings, grouper, snapper, and sharks this time of year, o and I forgot cobia. Your best bet if your coming down soon would be mangrove shore lines, with flats. Fish the mangroves during high tide, and fish the holes in the flats at low tide, lures work, but my favorite is a live greenback
We caught shark, flouder and lots of whiting.
