We ran out deep toward baker the other day and fishing was pretty tough. A friend of mine told me more decent catches have been coming from closer in rigs and such, did the blue water scare everything? Just wondering what you guys think?

No!! I think you were fishing a over fished rig or had bad technique that day. The fishing has been phenomenal. That is my opinion anyhow. The blue water has made spearfishing more difficult though. The snapper wont let me get near them anymore.

Inshore fishing should be getting red hot now, with clear water moving in closer to the beach. The Kingfish have "arrived" inshore in consistent numbers.

BTW, blue water doesn't "scare" anything. It makes fishing better. You simply have to alter your approach to it.

I saw a bull dolphin about 18 miles from Port A today, in "dirty blue green" water circling a plastic barrel. Didn't get him to eat, but there was lots of bait around it and seeing a pelagic in dirty water that close in is a good sign. There have been a lot of flying fish in this "dirty" water too, so remember to bring some ballyhoo as the sailfish could be there.

Friend of mine caught a 50 pound wahoo at the ships anchored off Port A while king fishing a few years back, in a bay boat no less.

You can almost always catch something of the near rigs Smile
