The Reds are showing up in larger numbers. Many have been caught this past week. Also, the ol' reliable gold spoons work too. The waters are gin clear over the flats now, and the fish are awfully spooky. Long casts, a stealth approach, flourocarbon leader, and a quietly landing lure, works in your favor.
Reds also prefer pinfish and shrimp fished under a cork over rocky bottom.
There have been reports of some tarpon jumped and even a few landed this past week. However, according to Guide Billy Henderson, the Silver Giants aren't feeding good yet. We have been seeing good schools of bait fish near shore lately and this should bring the bigger fish in behind them. According to Guides Walter Haumesser and John Rogers out of Riverside Resort, Homosassa, Fl, the Grouper bite has been good lately. Most good uns are coming from 50' or better.
