Catching report 11/21/07

The weather has been awesome the past few days. cool nights, warm days, very little wind. The catching has been decent. A few specks are being caught in the sound, mainly near the inlets. They have been on fire up in the New River though. Try around the creek mouths. With so little rain this year the water is crystal clear earlier than normal. Also the salinity levels are high so they are way up the river this year (folks been catching them as far north as in Jacksonville between the bridges).

On the south end of the island, the flounder bite has been steady. A lot of undersize fish with an occasional keeper. The red drum bite is HOT on the south shoals of Rich's inlet. Lots of quality over the slot fish have been caught this week.

The kings have been biting in the 12 -15 mile range but will probably be heading further out after this next cold snap. Grouper bite has been hot and cold but they are still in 60' of water in some areas.

Hope you have a great THANKSGIVING!
