Up Front Bait and Tackle

A call to Steve over at Up Front Bait and Tackle got us several reports. At the top of the list was the fluke fishing which he said was heave with shorts however if you keep moving around you have a better chance for a keeper since the bigger fish tend to be more aggressive in the deeper water. Croakers and spot rebounded in the back bay waters this past week along with decent numbers to snappers and cocktail blues. He also mentioned a few weakfish being caught as well. Lastly he told us there are plenty of bluefish and bonito with a few albacore and Spanish mackerel mixed being caught along the inshore waters with and occasional run at the beaches being seen.

Over at Up Front Bait and Tackle Steve Haas told us he had a good August when it comes to reports from customers, which proves that August was a good month for fishing. I asked him if he thought that September was going to be a good month and he said absolutely. He said with all the baitfish around the fluke more than likely be here until the season closes. The blues bonito, false albacore and Spanish mackerel are seeing better numbers with each passing day and cobia have also been caught. “The only joker in the deck is the weather,” he said.
