Spanish Mackerel & Bluefish
Spanish Mackerel and bluefish will be at the mouth of the St. Marys River and Nassau Sound this month.
Seatrout
Seatrout and redfish feed on finger mullet as a rising tide floods oyster beds. Morning is the best time. The trout spawn is taking place this month so it is the best time of year for a gator trout. Drifting a 3 to 5-inch live finger mullet, or pogy under a small float is also a deadly fishing tactic for summer sea trout and redfish.
Surf
Surf fishing will light up with excellent eating whiting, pompano, and trout. Fishing with fresh shrimp or sand fleas during a flooding tide is key. It is not unheard of the catch a redfish or cobia using menhaden, blue crabs, or mullet this time of year.
