Surface water temps 88 degrees, and water clarity varies, as in previous weeks, the further west you venture the clearer the water becomes. Winds have been out of the Southwest/West all week in the 8-18 mph range, increasing as the day progresses, and has really hampered our reef fishing efforts. Shrimp imitation lures under popping corks have still been producing the most bites for our anglers, and Blue Moon has worked well with ¼ oz jig heads, in the upper portion of the water column. Birds are still working in the bay, as fish are still feeding on shrimp, so if you can find them the action can be fast and furious but does not last very long, and then they are gone. On our live bait trips, live croaker has worked well in helping us pull in some giant Bull Reds.
Please remember to drink plenty of water and bring plenty of sunscreen, as we have ventured into the time of year when it gets extremely hot on the water, and it is critical you stay hydrated and do not get overheated or sunburned, as after 10 am you really begin to feel the effects.
