Capt. Jim Ross redfish

It’s been another great week here at Fineline Fishing Charters. The speckled trout bite that we’ve been experiencing over the last 2 to 3 weeks has continued on through this week in the Indian River Lagoon. Just like we have in the past few reports, we’ve been starting off with top water lures in the morning. Rapala Skitterwalk and Storm Chug Bugs being the two main types that we are using, then switching over to sub- surface lures like the smaller size Subwalk in the mangrove minnow color or the Rapala Twitching Minnow in the smaller size in the black back with an orange belly.

Later in the morning when the sun gets up in the sky we are changing gears and finding a variety of redfish, black drum, and ladyfish. Saltwater Assassin 4-inch Sea Shad tails rigged in a 1/4 ounce spring lock jig head are working best in these fish. Some of the bull reds are big with a 47-inch behemoth leading the pack this week. This action should continue for another two weeks if the weather patterns stay about like they have been. If you’re looking to get out and go catching, the bite is hot right now so give us a call at 321-636-3728 or book your trip with us online at finelinefishingcharters.com
