This snook completed Greg’s inshore slam from fishing around the inlet.

We had quite a bit of wind and rain this week, which frustrated conditions by dirtying the water and displacing bait pods; but, despite the murky water and rough weather, the bite has been pretty good if you can find areas in the lagoon with bait. We’ve been catching some nice trout as well as a lot of under-and-over slot snook. Live finger mullet have been working well and the Storm 3” paddle tail and 4” jerk baits have been working for us, too. Paddle tails have been a little better in the dirty water with the vibration added from the tail.

The Inlet has had a lot of snook, reds and jacks, but the bite has been hit or miss. When it is hitting, live pig fish have been producing well. The sharks are also thick and have been eating lot of hooked fish every day the last few weeks.
