May 15, 2013
Real spring weather has finally arrived and with it the action in
the bay is only getting better. The water
clarity on the East Flats is very clear, although floating grass can make using
topwater lures difficult at times. When that happens, switch to a weedless jig
or twitch bait like the DOA 5.5 CALS or the Airheads. Lighter color patterns
are best in the clear conditions. Another go-to choice is a Sureketch shrimp jig
suspended under a clacker-style cork, especially in areas of concentrated sand
potholes and rock grass. Add a 20-pound fluorocarbon leader to help prevent
cut-offs and reduce visibility. There are reports of tripletail showing up in
the bay around structure. Keep a medium-action rod rigged with a 1/2-ounce DOA
shrimp in gold flake or holographic glitter at the ready for these tasty and
powerful critters. Lots of undersize cobia are around now, too, along with some
bigger ones. Al Gag’s Whip-it eels in natural, candy-apple red and lime green
will rarely be refused by the curious ling.
Happy fishing! DON'T FORGET TO FILL OUT A FLOAT PLAN - THESE ARE AVAILABLE AT OUR CHECK-OUT COUNTERS.
