Good morning, over the last few days offshore reports were widely scattered. The pleasure vessel Ringleader reported a catch of 4 for 7 sailfish yesterday. Kingfish have been found from near shore to 80'-90' and there have been a few reports of cobia scattered about. The fishing for wahoo and dolphin has been a little off for this time of year, but a few scattered fish have been found in 80'-120' on small bally-hoo and brightly colored lures.
Inshore, there have been bluefish, pompano and whiting in the surf and have been taken on a wide choice of baits and spoons. The south jetty has been producing whiting, spanish mackerel and bluefish as well. Trout fishing back in the lagoon has been normal for January. Anglers have been finding trout scattered all over and there has been a nice mix of trout and redfish north around Harbor Branch. Live shrimp and a variety of soft plastics will produce good results.
Stop by the shop and have a look at some new Yo-Zuri products like the new Crystal Shrimp or 3DS Minnow and some new Exude Dart colors for your inshore fishing. The new and exciting Yo-Zuri Sashimi Squirt. A squid looking lure that changes colors like a real squid and should be a real producer for cobia and dolphin.
Have a great day, Donald.
