Water temps are getting back to normal but theres still very little bait in most areas of the lagoon south down by sebastian. The ocean temp is a little colder than normal in the mid to low 60s which has been keeping the lagoon south by the inlet a little cooler as well. With wind changes from North to south or east, that water temp will warm up quite a bit. The bite was good this week with the typical trout, jacks, pompano and mackerel in the lagoon around the inlet and along the beach with some good sized weakfish and silver trout off the beach. Artificial baits have worked well for most species but the weakfish and silver trout have been keying in on live or cut shrimp. We found a few schools of big black drum with some redfish mixed in as well. That action has provided anglers to get on some bigger trophy sized fish. This weeks warmer temps and some southerly winds should increase the water temps along the beaches and in the lagoon which will help the bait situation and should improve the bite from our redfish, snook and trout.
