[#312c98]We got a slam! These are the fishing reports I love to post. Yesterdays was one of the best days we have had on the water for a month. We boated 3 reds, 3 trout, 1 snook, 2 tarpon and countless ladyfish and jacks all on [url "http://www.hroller.com/Shop/?page=shop/roller_flypage&product_id=80&category_id=2113ff12a37aae8e2679cc45574b9aaf&ps_session=cc6cdd24c2490e1fe24e35cb88262ca6"][#0000ff]3 1/4 inch Rip Roller.[/#0000ff][/url] [/#312c98]
[#312c98]Redfish[/#312c98]
[#312c98]The red are a little scattered but the ones we did find were more than happy to bust top water. All the reds we found were in 2 to 3 feet of water and pushing water just inside the schools of bait. I know I talk about this lure all the time, but, all of our reds were caught on the [url "http://www.hroller.com/Shop/?page=shop/roller_flypage&product_id=80&category_id=2113ff12a37aae8e2679cc45574b9aaf&ps_session=cc6cdd24c2490e1fe24e35cb88262ca6"][#0000ff]3 1/4 inch Florida Special Rip Roller.[/#0000ff][/url] It is amazing how this lure draws the fish. I would go as far to say if I was stranded on an Island in the Indian River and I could only chose one lure to catch my dinner with, It would be this lure. [/#312c98]
[#312c98]Trout [/#312c98]
[#312c98]The trout bite is a little slow. We have caught a few nice fish, but all of the have come within the first few hours after sunrise. We have had our best luck within a few feet of the shoreline inside the schools of bait. Our best strikes have come by working the lures slowly. Remember not to stop your retrieve. most of these fish have been striking the lure 2 or more times prior to grabbing it. [/#312c98]
[#312c98]Snook[/#312c98]
[#312c98]The snook have been a little more willing to play with us here over the past few days. Most have been holding just under overhanging trees in 2 feet or more. However, a few have been feeding up to 20 feet away from the shoreline when bait is further away from the trees. [/#312c98]
[#312c98]Tarpon[/#312c98]
[#312c98]The tarpon are going nuts on top water. Look around the mouths of canals and brackish water outflows. If you have always dreamed of hooking in to one of these fish but never had the chance. Book your trip now! these fish wont be feeding like this much longer on the flats.[/#312c98] [center][img]http://www.indianriver.cc/doug's/DSCF0016.JPG[/img] [/center] [center][#312c98][/#312c98] [/center]
