Surface water temps 88 degrees, water clarity varies, as previous weeks, the further west you venture the clearer the water becomes. Winds have been out of the Southwest all week in the 10-22 mph range, increasing as the day progresses and has really hampered our reef fishing efforts, compared to last week. We were able to find trout and bull reds early chasing bait, over shell, but once the sun came up the bite ended promptly. Shrimp imitation lures under popping corks have still been our best producing bait, and Big Poppa Pearl has worked well with ¼ oz jig heads. Birds are still working in the bay, as fish are still feeding on shrimp, so if you can find them the action can be fast and furious, but short lived.
Please remember to drink plenty of water and bring plenty of sunscreen, as we have ventured into the time of year when it gets extremely hot on the water, and it is critical you stay hydrated and do not get overheated or sunburned, as after 10am you really begin to feel the effects.
