Man, it has been hot, hot, hot outside, and the bite has been very hit or miss because of the heat. There are some whiting, black drum, and lots of palometas running around. The snook have also been chewing on live mullet and croakers around the jetties and beaches. It’s not the season for them, but it sure is a fun fight!

The weather this week is going to stay hot, but the rain looks like it will hold off according to the weather forecasts. The waves on the beach should stay around knee height all week, and the wind looks to be a light breeze around 10 knots.

The whiting and black drum have been chewing on peeled pieces of shrimp and clam strips rigged on orange or white float pompano rigs. There’s no need for a sputnik weight right now just grab a 3 or 4 ounce pyramid lead and head to the beach. Early mornings and evenings have been the best, with bonus points if you can catch a switching tide. Honestly, I haven’t heard much about the midday bite because it’s just been so hot, haha.
