Hey JJ,
Been a good year especially for Mahi.
Little "funny" for Long Bay for the Kings maybe. First the Pogys were a little late and the good King bite on bigger fish seemed to last only a few weeks. The Pogys seemed to really pack the ICW, canals (and everywhere else they could hide inside) shortly after they hit the beaches.
Most of the summer the bigger Kings seemed to stay out deeper or off further than the 90's from what I heard. Most of my good kings have come from 75 feet or more this summer.
Things are changing very fast now, however. That little breath of a cold snap we had about August 23rd along with huge tides sent most of the pogys out the inlets in a hurry and the storm/current, dirty water scattered them out pretty bad when they got outside.
Recent reports say they have regrouped near the beaches in some huge schools. The Kings should begin chewing quickly. People were absolutely killing the Spanish about two weeks ago all along the inlet mouths.
Inside the redfish and flounder are already turned on, even the specks are already biting decent.
Factor in (also) the lack of tropical activity and now this cool air which is a little early and of long duration.
I think it's shapeing up to be a great early fall bite, especially the first day or two when that wind moves back toward the SW. I'm expecting the 90's and Jungle to lite up good in a few days.
The gulf stream pushed about as far off as I have seen about three weeks ago. You had to get to 1000+ feet of water to touch the edge of hot water..excepting a few offshoots which weren't really much change and the offshoots moved east like rockets due to a huge "nearer" shore current we had for about two weeks.
If other are like me, we are looking for the steam to get stabilized so we can go a hooing and a billing. Havent looked at SST recently, but as screwed up as it was, maybe another couple of weeks to get the stream edge back on the shelf?
Hey JJ, you can't catch fish sitting on the hill, but hope you got things ready including getting all healed up. Go get em!
