Great weather and good fishing are what anglers have been experiencing on the Big Bend.

The area around the Bombing Range has been a traditional hot spot since I was young. I remember using Loves Lures while out there with my dad and uncles. One chore I performed was to keep a small pile of cut shrimp, mullet or pinfish that we would tip our lures with. Using tandem lures we could catch two trout at a time, or a sea bass and a mackerel, or a bluefish and a trout.

It was fun fishing that can be experienced today. 

Back inshore the trout bite is good around rocky shorelines, points with redfish and snook mixed in together.

Offshore there’s been a good mangrove snapper bite starting at 18-feet with some hogfish.

High incoming tide will be mid-morning this weekend.
