The bait is here, the fish are feeding, and the predators are happy!

The week started out great and ended even better. Live bait produced extremely well for me this week. I leaned more heavily on live pinfish instead of mullet, and it paid off with quite a few big snook and even a good sized tarpon thrown into the mix.

I’ve been seeing plenty of mullet schools along mangrove shorelines and around spoil islands, especially near the sandbars. Finding bait is always a good starting point because predators usually aren’t far behind. That doesn’t mean every school of bait is holding hungry fish, though. Some days you’ll still have to move around and cover some water before finding fish willing to eat.

All in all, fishing is very good right now, and I expect it to stay that way for at least the next couple of weeks. If you’d like to get out on the water and do some kayak fishing, give me a call at JP Kayak Fishing and Tours!
