June 2008 Fishing Report
Inshore, King mackerel and Spanish mackerel are being caught trolling along the beach. These fish are being caught on planers and spoons or a Mylar duster with a cigar minnow. For some reason, these fish seem to be holding two to three miles off the beach. Speckled trout are being caught around lighted piers at night with live shrimp.
The current offshore has been strong out of the west bringing green to brown water, and this has slowed the fishing some. Red snapper are being caught in all depths on cut bait or live pin fish. Vermillion snapper are being caught in 100’ to 120’ depths on cut squid. Quite a few grouper and scamp have been caught in the 200’ to 300’ depths. Trigger fish have been being caught on some of the pyramids placed by the World Champion Red Snapper Tournament high in the water on cut squid, not fishing on the bottom.
Offshore trolling has been slow due to the dirty water. A few black fin tuna are being caught on the offshore rigs jigging with diamond jigs. A few small yellow fin tuna are being caught by chunking around the offshore rigs. An offshore rip was reported earlier this week with a good catch of dolphin coming off of it.
Water temperature both near shore and offshore being reported at 81.5° to 82°.
