Tex’s Tackle report 3-26

Inshore
03/18/2011
With the drinking water temperatures warming fairly effectively in the previous number of weeks, the red drum have been biting a lot better. They are nonetheless schooled up in the deeper creeks, but are also roaming the flats adjacent to deep water and are eager to get soft plastics. Black drum are nevertheless currently being caught in the creeks on lower shrimp.

Close to Shore
03/18/2011
No confirmed sightings of bonito just but, but it should be taking place quickly. We have heard of a handful of bluefish beginning to present up, but no confirmed reviews as of nevertheless. When they do show up, 21gram pink Maria Lures and shore lure jigs will do the trick.

Gulf Stream
03/18/2011
With the closure of grouper and black sea bass, the only reports are from the gulf stream. Trolling anglers have had decent final results with wahoo, the two with ballyhoo and substantial pace lures. There have also been reports of blackfin tuna and a couple of stray yellowfin tuna (indeed, yellowfin tuna!). Jigging anglers have located lots of cobia, a few African pompano, lots of huge amberjacks, and respectable numbers of large blackfin tuna (twenty-35 lbs.) Use lengthier, shiny jigs in the mid h2o column for the tuna and Blue Water Candy Roscoes for the cobia and pompano.
