Hope everyone has stayed warm this past week because it’s been pretty chilly some mornings. The fish have been feeling it too, as they’ve been biting off and on over the past week. This time of year, it’s always hit or miss. We’ve seen lots of baby sharks, bluefish, and whiting, with the occasional pompano joining the party if they decide to show up.
The surf has been relatively calm with no seaweed in sight. Those north winds have been keeping it at bay. The week ahead looks to warm up a bit, and the winds will stay somewhat calm, with a couple of days of stronger winds. It does look like Wednesday and Thursday will bring bigger waves, but things should calm down for the weekend. The fish are out there for everyone; it’s just been about picking the right location lately—finding the semi-clean waters and the right washouts and troughs. If you’re looking to catch a lot of fish, it’s better to move along the coast, following pressure lines daily and weather patterns. It takes some work to get that great shot showing a limit of pompano and whiting!
To wrap up this week’s report, chartreuse, orange and pink floats have been flying off our shelves lately, along with 3-5 oz pyramid leads and sputniks. Frozen shrimp pieces, fresh sand fleas, and clams are your go-to baits. We have live sand fleas daily, and plenty of frozen shrimp and clams for you. Have a great week, stay warm, and tight lines, as always!
