Hot Days But The Fish Are Biting




2021/08/13

I have been out of state all week due to a family medical emergency so this is going to be a short report. Hopefully I will be here this week to get the information for the next report.


The water is hot but the fish didn’t care at least a couple of the days. The Kings turned on Sunday and again Tuesday per reports I got from a couple of our locals. Dylan and Johnnie S. decked three of the five fish Sunday. One of Dylan’s fish was 14 pounds, another fish decked was 15 pounds and Johnnie’s fish was 20 pounds. The Tuesday Brandon decked a nice King. His fish was one of about 15 to hit the deck. According to reports, numerous other fish were hooked but lost. Here are a few pictures shared with me: 

 

 


 

 

The attached weather forecast is almost certain to change due to the Trpoical Storm brewing. Fred is supposed to head our way by Sunday or Monday. BE sure to keep a watch on Fred as he decides where he will make landfall.


Water temperature: 86-88.2
