Summer Bite is Hot

The water out of the beach was cold for a month or longer and finally creeped up to 80 degrees. There’s been huge schools of pogies all up and down the beach. I’ve been tarpon fishing around these bait pods and doing awesome! Not to mention there’s been plenty of bait. I’ve been free lining these pogies outside of the bait pods. Quite a few times I have brought some of these pogies back to the inlet and targeted tarpon, redfish, and snook. There has been some big reds and snook in the 30-40” range. Outgoing tide has been producing the most action. I’ve been fishing the river getting a good variety from Ormond to Ponce Inlet. Redfish, snook, flounder, seatrout, tarpon, jacks, and mangrove snapper have all been chewing. Especially up in Ormond I have been seeing tons of bait. Big schools of pogies have been around the channel and deeper docks. Up there they’ve been a little smaller than the ones off the beach and perfect size to use in the river, 3-4”. There has been finger mullet and shrimp all over the shorelines and around docks and fish have been busting them like crazy in the morning. Doing best fishing areas with a good current. Awesome fishing going on as always during the summer!
