dabear Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 This morning Friday Jan.12,2018 fished a couple areas before the cold front it was very windy, super clear water, not a great tide did not see any dead fish in the Bahia beach , E.G. simmon Park area. Got a nice snook and jacks very short trip due to rough water and 20 MPH wind . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambler1 Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Good report on the "NO" floaters. I launch there often, artificials or live bait? Wanted to go in the morning but it looks like it's gonna blow. Fish should be up inside Little Manatee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabear Posted January 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Gold spinner baits . It was only 1 1/2 hrs from the time we put in until we loaded up . I am sure that there where more fish around but the wind seemed to blow harder every second . I was fishing with my wife and it wasnt getting better so we loaded up and made it a short trip.

Hurricane , In that short amount of time we covered a few spots (that are known to have fish)and didnt see any movement no bait or bites . That snook was in between hundreds of cast with no action before or after it . Also in just bumped the in line spinner and moved really slow felt like when you bump a leave under water than line got a little heavy like a small rock I pulled thats when it started acting like a snook. This cold water has them in low gear. Fish was also heavy and fat for how long it was . I was glade to see a healthy snook and not see anything dead .

hurricane Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 The cold water has them in lazy mode, ok so it was a fair catch for 1.5 hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane , Fair catch it isWithout my lucky buckeye seed in my pocket I may not of landed that snook .It was as windy as any weather I have ever fished in , A real challenge to hold the boat in position long enough to get a cast to the correct spot and thoroughly work it in the strike zone . Could not work a mangrove with the wind at my back because we where moving way to fast . Had to go into the wind to have time to work a area .Wish we could of fished longer but I think we got the best from a bad weather day . The great thing about the trip,was we did not see any dead fish . Hope we get to sneak another day in between fronts again next week.
