Although the big fish are still around they are few and far between. Because of this I like to turn my attention to some other species this time of year. When weather permits we are able to run out to the beaches. This sometimes gives us opportunities at Jacks and big reds. If it’s a little too windy for the beach, we fall back into the interior ponds and focus on 8-12 lb fish, large gar, and the sheeps are also still around. Regardless we will have some targets for you.
Although the wind was blowing and the fish weren’t eating right, Capt Kyle Smith still got a pretty good haul. We started the day as usual trying to catch some live bait. After a couple throws with the cast net we got them. Menhaden. We dropped the live bait only to see nothing happen for the next 2 hrs. We decided to chunk. Almost immediately a reel started screaming. After that it was pretty consistent and we ended up with 6 Yellow fin from 60-90 lbs.
