Still Hot!  August Report

7/26/2015

1 Comment

 
Much like July, August is one if the hottest months, and anglers should fish very early or the evenings for success. Last August I found good success in the early hours fishing for redfish. It's generally very calm and still this month and it makes locating a backer much easier. Low tides early work best. Trout fishing has been slower than years past and I see that fishery staying consistent throughout Aug. Bull Redfish will be scattered along the shipping channel. Heavy tackle with enough lead to hold bottom where you are fishing, with a piece of crab, mullet or ladyfish will get some attention. There will still be some ladyfish, jacks and mangrove snappers around. They can always be fun and mangroves are good table fare. Flounders will be coming  on stronger. A TBS Jig and a finger mullet, mud minnow or shrimp slowly working areas with structure can be a ticket. Docks and areas around the St. Johns ferry in the mayport area can be a great area to pick up a big flattie. Fishing the beach can be productive. A free lined pogie tossed around the bait pods could get a tarpon, bull redfish, sharks, or a big Jack Creavale. Don't let the summer heat scare you off the water!!!Tight lines,
