What a week of pristine conditions that we just had in the surf! The Atlantic was looking beautiful — calm, clear water, with pretty favorable conditions — and the fish did not disappoint! Namely, the pompano showed up big time (and the sea turtles cranked their nesting season up a notch, too). I took home more pompano this week than I had in the preceding year combined. Lots of under-sized fish, too. Whiting were heavily in the mix, as well. Otherwise, I had some random days that were croaker and bonnetthead heavy.
This upcoming week is going to feature a wall of E wind. Best beach windows look like the AM from Thursday to Sunday, where we will mostly see wind speed in the single digits with a southern tilt. Ultimately, fishability and success will hinge on the volume of weeds swashing around in the surf — hoping for the best, but planning for the worst (no fishing, yikes!).
Looking forward to getting past this week of strong E winds and back to fishing beautiful, blue waters on the beach!
