OFFSHORE- It's fitting to be writing the fishing report this week on Halloween...because the fishing (or complete lack of) and weather offshore right now are downright scary!!! Weather has kept everyone at the dock this week; and though the weather forecast for the weekend has improved a bit, it doesn't look like anybody will be in a mad rush to get offshore! When the weather breaks a bit and the wind slows down the fishing will likely be on fire; just hard to say when that's going to happen. INSHORE- It's windy inshore and fishing in a 20mph wind is hard, but the snook are biting. The mullet schools have really started to thin out, but the snook are taking advantage of the ones hanging around. Early morning and late afternoon look for snook to be laying along seawalls and under boat docks waiting for mullet to be swept to them with the tide. Loud noisy topwater lures are a great choice in this situation. Try to present the lure as a disoriented or injured mullet coming down the seawall with the tide. Remember also a 20mph wind can create it's on current on top, so use the wind to your advantage when possible. At night the snook have been stalking bridge shadow lines. A flair hawk jig or bigger body swimbait is a great way to go in this situation. The snook have also started to eat the shrimp jig, but hare still jumping on the bigger baits as well. SURF/PIER- The surf report is like the Halloween offshore report...fishing and weather so bad it's downright SCARY!!! Not much to write about as fishing has been very tough. A few days the weather wasn't as bad produced a fair whiting/croaker bite on the pier, along with a few ribbonfish. Overall fishing remains very tough. But when the weather breaks watch out...the fishing is going to be on fire!!! NOAA MARINE WEATHER: FRI...E winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 4 to 6 ft, occasionally to 8 ft.
