7/19/24 Triple Threat

The water is heating up in the back of the ponds (Bath Water) bait can see spread out and is continuing to grow. Hiding in eel grass up on top of the sand flats, getting pushed into deeper water with the ebb and flow. The Pond is still producing more on the incoming and the Breachway has fished very well this week. Most good size fish are being caught at night on a variety of plugs and live eels.

Always be prepared for anything this time of year. Have a rod tied up ready to cast some to drop. You may run into fish breaking the surface or suddenly go over a large school of fish.

Fluke fishing has slowed down this past week with still some of the better reports coming from local grounds. A lot of shorts being caught. As we get later into the month we should see the bite to pick back up a bit. Seabass bite continues to be good with a healthy number of jumbos around.

As the water warms its important to treat your bass with care before release. Limited time out of water as well as getting the fish to the boat quickly can be very beneficial. When your fishing in 30 ft of water and you bring a bass to the surface they are going through a major temperature change as well as getting exhausted from fighting. This is why those methods above will help get a good release.

Tuna reports past couple days started to pick up and plenty of boats headed out this morning. Most fish coming on the jig and a healthy mix of small and large fish.
