A Fishing-y Post

A Fishing-y Post

Thank you for reading this week’s A Fishing-y post. Got out four days this week, once to the beach, the others solo trips by kayak. Most of the photos this week are file photos, only have one new one, of the redfish.

The weather all week, although warm and humid, was outstanding. Rain every afternoon, though.

Monday saw me trying the Banana River Lagoon again. This time I brought both a spin and a fly rod. Got nothing on fly. On spin, with the three-inch shad, I got a slot red and a crevalle jack. On a DOA Shrimp I got a trout. There is no grass, and the water is kind of high.

Wednesday I was going to go to the Indian River Lagoon. I could not access the launch point because of the Space-X launch, so I went to the Indian River Lagoon instead. Good thing that lagoon is so big! Only a fly rod this day! Found a few baby tarpon rolling, and managed to get one on an ugly little streamer.

Saw some fish busting along the bank. The water was too brown to see anything, so I just blind-cast, beating the bank, with a streamer. Got two small snook.

Thursday was the official wife’s official birthday. We went to the beach! I brought a spin rod. On one of the first casts, something toothy took my jig. I tied on a new one, of course, but did not get another bite. There were two bait fishermen near me. Neither got a fish that I saw.

There were a few mullet in the surf. I saw a small blacktip shark cruising right in the wash. The water temperature is still in the mid-eighties. It needs to cool more before the mullet start moving hard, I think.

Friday I went to the Indian River Lagoon. After much searching I found a pair of tailing fish, swimming right at me for an easy shot. The cast was true and I got one of them, on a fuzzy redfish worm.

Saw a few baby tarpon rolling, could not get an eat.

That’s all I got this week. Thank you again for reading the a fishing-y post. Life is great and I love all my readers!

Every day is a blessing. Don’t waste it- Go fishing! Go hiking! Take a walk! Do SOMETHING!
