As we reported last week, the Indian and Banana River Lagoons have turned into something resembling pea soup throughout the central and northern portions of these bodies of water. The neon green algae bloom is making it extremely difficult to spot fish, or even catch fish on some days. We’ve been searching to find cleaner conditions and fish over the past two weeks and it hasn’t been easy.
Captain Justin is still finding speckled trout holding near residential docks and mangrove covered shorelines on some of his recent trips, but he is finding it harder and harder to get into a consistent bite. Some of these structures will also hold mangrove snapper and black drum at times.
We are really looking forward to the fall mullet run to begin so that we can get back out on the beaches and search for fish in water that doesn’t look like it should be in a science fiction horror movie.
