Captain Keith Tomlinson | Summer is here and it is hot! The best bite has been early before things get hot. This is especially true for the near shore anglers. I like to hit the skinny water early in the morning and move to deeper water later in the day.
The backcountry has good numbers of Redfish moving through out the area. Target the outer points with oyster bars and mangroves. Again, the best bite will be early on a moving tide. Look for the bite to slow by 10 A.M.. I like cut Mullet or live Pinfish under a cork. Only anchor as close as you have to because these fish will spook easily.
The deeper grass flats is still producing good numbers of Trout, Sea Bass, Sharks, and more. Drift fish 8 - 12 ft of water with spotty bottom. My favorite tactic this time of year is to slowly work a white 3" GULP shrimp on a 1/4 ounce jig. Keep the jig on the bottom and pop it out of the grass frequently to draw a strike.
The scallop numbers have been ok off Bayport. There seem to be a better concentration of scallops to the North of Bayport in 4 - 6 ft of water. Don't forget your diver down flag and watch out for other swimmers.
Good luck out there and tight lines!
