BlueWater Outriggers Fishing Report 7-17-2024
OFFSHORE: Capt. Pete Barwick of Bounty Bay PSJ Charters had a great week with Red Snapper as well as Mangroves and a few Mahi-Mahi mixed in. The full moon is this weekend so the Mangrove bite should be hot.
INSHORE: If you're going to be productive, fish the early morning bite or deeper holes over grass. Live bait such as Bull minnows ,pinfish and shrimp will be your best bet for Trout and Redfish as far as artificial baits go a good choice would be the Strike King Redfish Magic spinner bait. A lot of big Bluefish are being caught now as well, spoons and Got-cha lures perform the best.
FRESHWATER: Bluegill and Catfish have been filling the coolers. Lakes, rivers and sloughs have been the best spots. Worms, crickets and even grass shrimp are great baits for bluegill. Catfish can't resist a piece of cut bait or stink bait in the deeper holes. Bush hooks at night are another option.
