Holiday fishing can be a challenge

Fishing during holiday seasons can be challenging. The boat traffic was insane as we had great weather and a lot of visitors. Also, we tend to get more families and inexperienced anglers. Bent rods is the goal. Speckled trout, mackerel, bluefish, jacks, and ladyfish hit jigs and flies on the deep flats. Ladyfish and mackerel were caught in Big Pass. Trolled and cast Rapala X-Raps fooled a few jack crevalle in area creeks and canals. A big weather change is coming and will hopefully get the river snook bite going. {%image_id=69176%}
