This week’s near-coastal bite picked back up considerably compared to last weeks for captain Justin and I here at Fineline Fishing Charters. Flounder were the main edible species that we started catching inside of the pier and near structures outside of the Ports basins. Live shrimp rigged on a 1/4 to 1/2 ounce Assassin jig head worked really well for our charter clients. Bluefish, whiting, snook, redfish, and tripletail were other species we landed using this simple rigging method.
In the lagoons, redfish and trout action was really good during the first hour or two of the morning. Rapala Skitterwalk topwater plugs in the bluegill and pinfish color patterns are working best for us right now. Saltwater Assassin 4-5 inch Sea Shad and straight tailed Shad baits picked up the slack when the top waters slowed down. It’s going to be another great week for us this week with the Solunar major periods lining up in the mornings. This should allow us to get out, catch fish, and get back to the dock before the afternoon rains hit.
