Inshore Winter Time Fishing -Miguel's Pass!

The mouth of Miguel's Bay is holding good numbers of trout and ladyfish. Try working a popping cork with a live shrimp. For best results fish a good incoming tide. The water can really rip through little Miguel pass and this attracts a variety of fish. {%image_id=18290%}{%image_id=18287%} Look for pompano skipping on top of the water. The pompano should be showing up in Miguel anytime now and can't resist a Docs Jig. Sheepsheads will soon be in their spawn. Once we see a little colder weather you can bet the Sheepies will be showing up in the pass as well. Else where in the Bay, there are still a few snook hanging around the bridges, but expect the snook to head up river at the first sign of a real cold front. {%image_id=18289%} The redfish are abundant, but slot size redfish are becoming more difficult to catch. The rivers are slam full of rat reds who beat their bigger, slower brothers to the bait. As for their bait of choice, try anything and everything. It does seem to make a diffrence, the redfish are eating it all! {%image_id=18295%} This months bonus fish is bluefish. We have been catching big bluefish on the flats west of the Skyway Bridge. White baits under a popping cork have been been landing some bruiser bluefish over 24 inches. {%image_id=18292%}{%image_id=18294%}{%image_id=18293%} Till next time have a safe and quality day on the water.
