Spent a couple days at icast seeing new products and meeting business partners. Rapala has come out with some new saltwater soft plastics that I’m looking forward to put to the test. Only bad thing is that most of the new products aren’t available till December or January.

The rest of the week of fishing was hit or miss. The beach was a little slow as the bait has spread out and the fish are on the move as well. The water has been extremely clean and clear with top to bottom visibility. There’s been schools to big jacks as well as some schools of tarpon on the beach. The jacks are spawning and can be tough to get to eat a live bait or artificial. The tarpon and kingfish have been tough as well as the winds picked up late week and made the beach a little rough. This week, the tides will be good and should offer some good fishing off the beach as the winds are slowing down and the beach bite should be good again.
