Clarity: Green with 2'

Report:
Started off in a cove
early this morning
looking for a big fish
on top but no luck
today. This morning with
no wind and no ripples I
had a hard time getting
them to go for the
surface baits. I did
down size to a Super
Spook jr (bone) and we
ended up sratching out 7
Trout to 19". Moved over
to a mid bay reef where
we found some nice Trout
to 20" in 3 to 5' of
water. Keyed in on
slicks and jumping
Mullet. Trout were
caught on Plum Assassins
and bone colored Devil
Eyes. 3rd stop was a
reef over in Chocolate
where the action
continued, I hooked up
with 4 or 5 Trout right
away. The water looked
good just about
everywhere we went
today, plenty of bait
everywhere. Off the
water at 2pm with 2
limits. |

West Bay report
Weather: Clear
Wind: 15 to 18 northeast
Bays: Rough
Clarity: 6"
Water temp: 76
Tides: 1 1/2' above
normal
Report:
The last couple of days
the wind has really put
a hurt on the numbers of
Trout we have been
catching. Yesterday we
had 7 or 8 and then
again today we had 7 or
8 Trout. Today I
couldn't even hit any
mid bay reefs because of
the chop and clarity.
Decided to work over one
of the coves that was
somewhat protected from
the northeasterly winds.
The cove had plenty
ofbait activity and a
few flocks of gulls
working over schoolie
Trout around the small
drains that entered into
the cove. My dad decided
to hit the birds and
work over the smaller
Trout trying to scratch
out some keepersin which
he did. I think he ended
up with 4 around 16". I
decided to head for the
surface bait out towards
the middle which paid
off for me with a solid
25" Trout that was
released. I had 2 more
pretty good blowups on
the bone Super Spook but
did not connect on them.
on the way back to 2004
we hit one of the reefs
in Chocolate that
coughed up two Trout to
18" and that was it. The
water in Chocolate out
by the ICW is definitely
fishable if this wind
would ever lay.
Everything else is
pretty nasty. We did cut
one wade down by New
Bayou, found several
smoke trails near the
grass from Flounder. I
had 2 on that pulled off
and caught one dink. The
water along the
shoreline of New Bayou
looks great. Definitely
a good spot to go
looking for some flat
fish. |

Quick report
Water look good under
stiff north wind this
morning. We managed to
scratch out a few over
shell around slicks then
picked up another
handful wading one of
the coves along the
south shoreline. The
coves are really
starting to heat up for
me. Today I picked up
this 24 or 25" Trout
(released) and lost
another one just like
here. Black She Dog
accounted for all of my
blowups under the
overcast skies. |

Weather: Partly cloudy
Wind: 15 to 20 southeast
Bays: Rough
Clarity: 12" in areas
Water temp: 77
Tides: 1 1/2' to 2'
above normal
Moon: Full
Report:
Met up with new
Fishwestend member JT
this morning at Sea Isle
for a quick morning
wade. We started off on
1 shell pad in West Bay
where it was a little
rough but we had slicks
everywhere. It didn't
take long to get the
first Trout strung as I
had one on the third
cast from the boat. For
the next hour I had some
pretty steady action as
I strung 8 Trout and
lost 4 or 5 more on the
grab. Trout this morning
were all in the 20"
range. Jt
Strung to Trout and
missed several more on
the grab. All Trout
caught on plum Assassins
over shell with plenty
of slicks in the area.
Fished this area for 2
hours or so then hit one
of my favorite coves
along the south
shoreline to check it
out. We fish this cove
for about 30 minutes
before heading in.
Didn't find anything in
the cove worth reporting
other than it won't be
long . The coves are
fishing to heat up!!!!! |

Location: Chocolate Bay/
West Bay
Weather: Clear
Wind: 10 to 12 southeast
Bays: Choppy
Clarity: 12 to 18"
Tides: 1 1/2' above
normal
Baits: Arties
Moon: Full
Report:
Put in at the 2004 in
Chocolate at 6am and
headed into West Bay.
Went to my first spot
thats has been on fire
lately and been
producing some solid
Trout to 20'. The bite
started off fast but
slowed rather quickly.
We
picked up 8or 9 Trout
pretty quick and 1
Flounder. Moved back
into Chocolate Bay next
where we scratched out a
handful of Trout over
shell pads near the ICW.
Most fish were caught on
Plum Assassins over
shell
keying in on slicks. The
full moon had my bite in
shut down mode for most
of the day. It was a
little tough. Ended the
day with 13 or 14 fish. |

Location: Lower West Bay
weather: Clear
Wind: 10 to 12 out of
the northeast
Tides: Normal
Water temp: upper 70's
Water clarity: 1'
Bays: slightly choppy
Baits: Arties
Report:
Left Sea Isle at 630 and
headed over to some of
the sheels pads that
have been producing the
last few weeks for me.
The bite was tougher
than I really expected
this morning. Did not
see near the Trout
slicks that I had
seen in previous days.
We did scratch out a few
Trout on the first reef
to 21". Still no
topwater action to
report. Everything
caught today on
Assassins. Plum still
the most effective bait
right now. Moved over to
some of the reefs in
Chocolate near the
channel were we
scratched out a few more
Trout to 18". Water
looked good in Chocolate
as well. We ended the
day with 18 Trout and 1
20" Flounder. All fish
caught off of shell pads
in 2 to 5' of water.
Shell pads are holding
plenty of bait right now
but I just didn't see
the slicks as I have the
past few days.
For all you bird workers
out there. There are
birds starting to work
pretty hard in Chocolate
Bay and in lower West
Bay. Been seeing a lot
of bird action near Tire
Reef all the way up to
Alligator Point.

Fishing in West Bay
continues to be hot. Not
seeing much topwater
action but soft plastic
Bass Assassins continue
to produce solid Trout
to 23" worked around
shell pads in water from
2 to 5'. The last week
or so we
have been keying in on
bait and slicks on or
near reefs. Plum
Assassins have accounted
for most of the fish but
Chicken on a chain and
Red Shad has been
working well also. |
