It was a typical week on the water, with plenty of average-sized catches to go around. However, the scorching heat made things a bit more challenging for both fishermen and fish alike.
Fishing residential docks and mangroves in the Indian River, I noticed two key trends:
1. Fish were seeking shade and hiding in tight spots, even early in the day. Look for mangrove overhangs and large, low-hanging docks to find them.
2. A slower presentation was the key to success, as fish were less active in the heat.
Additionally, I found that windblown areas were particularly productive, as the breeze helped to stir up bait and attract predators. The wind also provided a slight cooling effect on the water temperature, making these areas even more appealing to fish. Focus on areas with a good breeze blowing in to increase your chances of landing a bite.
The bite was best around sunrise, with action tapering off as the temperatures rose. Target those shady, windblown areas and adjust your presentation accordingly.
Stay cool out there, and tight lines!”
