Early in the week with the low winds fishing was pretty darn good in the lagoon. Plenty of trout, jacks and snook on the menu. Artificial baits worked very well as I didn’t get into the routine of getting live bait since hurricane Milton. Water is still dirty but the fish are chewing well. Once the winds picked up out of the north Wednesday the bite got tough. We still managed some trout and a few pompano along with jacks and a bunch of ladyfish. Flounder bite should get better with the cold fronts even though the season is closed till the end of November.

Looks like the winds will be up most of this week and the forecast is also calling for strong winds most of next week as well so the plan will be to get into the lagoon and fish the mangroves with DOA paddle tails and jerk baits and some Rapala twitchin mullets to see if we can keep up the trout and snook bite. If the forecasts change we will be getting into the inlet and off the beach to get back on some redfish, tarpon and sharks.
