Near-shore action remains strong out of Sebastian and Port Canaveral this week. We’ve been catching really good numbers of Tripletail that are averaging 7 to 15-pounds. These are my favorite size to eat. The larger fish (and we’ve had some into the low 20-pound range) just don’t taste as good even though they are very impressive to show in photos. These fish should remain around for another few months so if you like to eat fish, now is you time to get out. Give me a call and we’ll go target them.
The surprise of this winter for me has been the numbers of nice sized speckled trout along the beaches. My anglers landing them with jigs or live shrimp on an Assassin Boodah style jig head. Some of the trout are running into the low 20-inch range, but most of them are averaging 15 to 17-inches. These are fun to catch and if we find a good sized school landing 25 to 30 of them is not a problem. I’ve been using a lot of the Rapala Crush City salty Ned Rolls or the Ned BLT lures. With all of the bluefish and small Spanish mackerel that are also working the surf break right now, these lures have been holding up. They are made from the elas-tec material which is highly resilient, and super stretchy to combat the teeth on those two species. Pompano are another species that have been showing up fairly regularly along the surf when the conditions are calm. Goofy style jigs in pink, orange, or chartreuse have been working best for them. On most days we catch at least two or three and on a good trip we’ll get about a dozen.
