The river is ALIVE with our Fall bait run at this time of year. There was so much bait on our first spot this past week we couldn’t get a bite on our artificial lures. Once the large pods moved on we started to get bit. Actually, the later part of our morning was better than at first light. We were fishing in an area with a depth of 15-20 inches throwing my favorite little Wakebait and it didn’t take long for the fish to eat it.
I hooked one of the biggest sheepsheads ever for me on this little crank bait. What a surprise, sorry for no picture as it had only a single hook in its mouth from the small rear treble and when it went crazy at the boat it came unhooked. Within 5 minutes from this another amazing hookup of a 15-20 pound tarpon gave me several great jumps before throwing my little lure.
At about the noon hour I changed over to a Yo Zuri 3DR-X Suspending Jerk bait and worked it alongside a little deeper mangrove area where my 29” snook ate it. All in all a great one day out on the water.
