The Reel Outdoors July 12, 2007
Greg, of The Reel Outdoors, reports that inshore, red drum fishing has been excellent in the creeks and bays off the sound. Most of the drum are slot sized fished between 18-27”. Gulp baits are tempting most of the drum bites, but they’ll also hit live baits and other artificials.
Boats drifting the inlets with squid strips, live mud minnows, and finger mullet are hooking up with good numbers of flounder. The majority of the flatfish are between 1.5-3 lbs.
Nearshore, the dolphin and king mackerel bite has been solid in the 2-8 mile range. A decent number of sailfish are feeding in the same area and surprising anglers trolling for the smaller dolphin and kings. Live baits and rigged ballyhoo are producing the best results as far as baits go.
