Fishing has been pretty productive lately, and it looks like we can expect the same this upcoming week! As a kayak fisherman, the wind kept me off the water quite a bit last week, but I was able to pick up on a couple of trends.
Firstly, it seems many of the larger fish are starting to favor areas with a hard sandy bottom as opposed to soft mud. The second trend has been structure. I’ve been finding snook deep in mangrove pockets as well as on the outer edge of the root system, all day long. Trout can be found in deeper water close to the mangroves. I’ve been using Z-Man 4″ paddle tails rigged on 3/16 oz jigs and Mirrorlure 4″ jerk shad rigged on a 1/8 oz weedless hook.
Thanks for the great report John!
