I hope everyone is doing well and had a good week of fishing. The beachside has been dirty due to the southeast winds, but this week, the winds are expected to shift to north-west most days. Fishing has been pretty slow, with not much consistent action. There have been lots of whiting, a few black drum, palometas and the occasional pompano around. The water has been warming up quickly—now up to 74 degrees.

Pompano rigs with chartreuse, orange and pink floats have been producing the best bites, especially when rigged with a small piece of peeled shrimp or sand flea. If you’ve been fishing this past week, you know how strong that undercurrent has been—using a 4 oz sputnik has been the only thing holding bottom most days. Fishbites have also been working well when paired with shrimp to help keep the bait on the hook.

Have a great week, and I’ll talk to y’all next time. Tight lines!
