Haulover Canal Success Despite High Wind

The fishing in the Ponce Inlet area has been crazy, after what seemed to be a pretty slow january and february we have been slammed. My charter Saturday was totally non-stop. 6 hrs of catching. The oast few hours there were a lot of breaks taken. Catching just about everything, trout, reds, macs, blues big and small, flounder, sheepshead and we had a bunch if tarpin around the boat as well. Cant beat this time of year, weather is beautiful, not too hot and you can spend the longer hours on the water.

With the Fall weather taking hold and hints of winter here and there the fishing has remained good with mixed bags of Red's, Snook, Trout, Mangrove Snapper, Jacks, Lady Fish and the occasional Catfish that we just can't seem to get away from.

For the past few weeks with the water temperatures dropping several things have taken place. The water levels have lowered to about normal, the water clarity has improved considerably and.................... The Trout bite has been great. Friday's Charter was over 100 fish in 2 1/2 hours of fishing. Monday's about the same and the weeks before was very similar. Much bigger fish all on artificial and the bite is a couple hours into the morning so no need for getting out at the crack of dawn. What has also been going on is the sight fishing for reds has been excellent with the excellent water clarity but along with that comes the fish getting skiddish. Again, artificial's are the ticket.
