Surface water temps 87 degrees, water clarity varies, west of Stingaree cove being the cleanest looking water. Winds have been out of the Southwest most of the week, switching more to the South on Saturday, in the 6-12 mph range. This week fishing over oyster reefs in 6 to 8 feet of water produced some excellent catching for our valued fishing clients, including Speckled Sea Trout, Sand Trout, Redfish and Black Drum. Shrimp imitation lures under popping corks have still been the ticket for us, and white ice has worked well with ¼ oz jig heads, with most of the fish being caught in the upper portion of the water column. Birds are still working in the bay, as fish are feeding on shrimp, so if you can find them the action is fast, but short lived in most cases. This week our artificial trips have produced better fish and more numbers as well vs throwing live shrimp.
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.
