December
Fishin Frank &
Robert's report--12/30/14-------
Some Siver and Spotted Sea Trout
and some Tarpon as well, good spot to fish your rat-l-traps or a storm swim bait
cast the bumbers, but let the lure sink before reeling, you have to get deep to
find the fish
that will eat
ishin Frank &
Robert's report--12/30/14-------
Spotted and Silver Trout
drift with a shrimp and just a split shot for the best catch,
The Trout are up here working just north of Harbor Heights, 4 inch swim baits
and Rat-l-trap 1/2 once dark colors balck and chrtruse or Deep red or orange
colors
Fishin Frank &
Robert's report--12/19/14-------
Tarpon and some Red ifsh
the power lines are the best bet just north of Harbor Heights.
Fishin Frank &
Robert's report--12/05/14-------
Rat reds around the islands
and a few keepers . Trolling for Snook is still a good bet, Whitn showing up
around Harbor heights and the power lines,
