Surface water temps 89 degrees, and water is still stirred up again in a good portion of East Bay due to the West, Southwest winds, as the further East you venture the darker the water gets. Winds have been out of the West to Southwest in the 8-10 mph range in the mornings, increasing to 12-18 mph as the day progresses, limiting our off-the-shore reef tactics.
Shrimp imitation lures under popping corks have still been producing the most bites for our anglers, and Slammin Sammy Chartreuse Tail has worked well with ¼ oz jig heads fished with or without a popping cork. Catches of our targeted species of keeper Trout are down this week compared to the last couple of weeks. Redfish are still feeding around grass lines and schooling and if you find them you can catch them pretty quickly. On our live bait trips, a popping cork with live shrimp and mullet has been getting a good deal of action, fished on a 24” leader.
Please remember to drink plenty of water and utilize 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.
