HEMMERS REPORT

The grouper are feeding best in 100 feet of water or deeper. Large live pinfish is the bait of choice. Work small ledges and rock piles. The best action is when the tide is moving.

Trout are schooling in the passes. Most are in the 18 to 23 inch range. They are feeding on small jigs and white bait. Look for them in areas that have a sharp drop-off.

Catch and release action on snook is hot. Most of the snook are feeding on free-lined threadfins and pinfish. The best action is in the swash channels during a strong tidal flow.

Tarpon can be found around area bridges and passes. The hot bite has been threadfins and pinfish during the incoming tide and crabs during the outgoing tide. Work the areas where you see tarpon rolling on the surface.
