What a month it's been! We'll be updating the blog soon, but I thought I would close out with a youngsters very first redfish. I think his smile says it all...
July "Dog Days"
Now things are starting to "heat up" inshore, with water temps exceeding 80 degrees daily. Locating feeding fish has been challenging with air temperatures approaching 100 degrees and little rain for this time of year. Despite the tough conditions, we have been able to locate quality fish almost every day, but the number of catches has fluctuated daily. Redfish has been our go-to when other fish have been less than cooperative.
Quality reds have been feeding well throughout the month, making the hot weather seem less oppressive. We also had a few late cobes this month, always welcome at the end of a line...
And of course, we have began our Tarpon season. Smaller fish inshore (10-50 pounds) and larger specimens outside the 100 pound mark on the beaches.
And to round out the species list for this month we can't forget our great flounder fishery. This year has been slower than some, but we have still managed quite a few quality sized fish with decent numbers.
