How about them NOLES!
This past week’s full moon improved the sheepshead bite around the southern Indian River Lagoon from Melbourne to Grant. Live shrimp or fresh cut shrimp on a jig head was about all you needed to get these fish to bite. As a bonus, we caught quite a few pompano using this same method. What was surprising to me is that I usually do not catch pompano near dock structures. Captain Justin and I are also finding speckled trout, small jack crevalle and a few mangrove snapper as additional species while working this pattern. We’re looking for a return of some warmer conditions and calmer seas so we can get back out on the ocean to try for tarpon and sharks this week. Make sure you check back with next week’s report on Spacefish to see if we were able to get it done!
