It’s all about the mullet! The summer pattern is in full swing so get on the water early for your best chance at a good day of fishing. This is the time of year when it’s possible to get the inshore slam: redfish, seatrout, snook and/or tarpon. All of these species are going to be hanging around the big black mullet pods. Find the large black mullet in the 1.5′ to 2′ depths and the fish will be hot on their tail!
For the artificial guys, the Rapala Skitter Walk topwater plugs and sub surface plugs like the Mirrolure Mirrodine and Catch 2000 have been the best bet the first thing in the morning. As the sun starts to rise, I like to switch to either a weedless Gulp Jerk Shad in pearl white or camo, or a Gulp Shrimp pearl white on an 1/8 oz. Mission Fishn jig head. Work these baits slow around the mullet and you never know what you’ll come up with. If casting a lot isn’t really your style, then a handpick shrimp or cut baits such as mullet, ladyfish and pinfish will do the trick as well.
With the rising number of fisherman and water quality issues, I highly recommend catch and release. Let’s all do our part to help out the future generation! Yeah!
