Robert & Capt. Josh 03/09/2024 — A lot of little redfish, but they've been well up under the bushes. You can fish creek mouths, but again, get it near the trees. A few smaller snook around. A couple pompano caught on top of the bar. Some short cobia on the bar as well.

Robert & Capt. Josh 02/24/2024 — Lots of little redfish under the bushes, with an occasional slot fish. There are some pompano and short cobia on the bar.

Robert & Capt. Josh 01/27/2024 — Lots of little redfish, especially at the creek mouths. Just a handful of small snook reported. Some pompano were skipped inside the bar but not caught.

Robert & Capt. Josh 01/13/2024 — A few small redfish and lots of little snook. There are also some trout and reds outside the bar.

Robert & Capt. Josh 12/30/2023 — Some redfish about 14 to 22 inches. Quite a few small snook. A scattering of trout outside the bar, but it's inconsistent. Puffers are chewing up tackle.

Robert & Capt. Josh 12/16/2023 — Snook and redfish are scattered under the trees and in the creeks. One cobia was reported caught and another swam by the same fisherman.

Robert & Capt. Josh 12/09/2023 — A lot of redfish, including some schools of a couple dozen but mostly singles under the bushes and creek mouth. A lot of small snook under the bushes. Trout are on top of and outside the bar in about 3 feet of water. Cobia have been seen crossing the bar, but not caught.

Robert & Capt. Josh 12/02/2023 — Lots of snook and quite a few redfish of assorted sizes on live and cut bait or spoons and soft plastics. A few trout are on the outside edge of the bar.

Robert & Capt. Josh 11/25/2023 — A whole lot of smaller snook under the shrubbery. Redfish are at the creek mouths taking shrimp and pinfish, and some will be keepers.

Robert & Capt. Josh 11/18/2023 — A lot of redfish are under the bushes and they're moving around, so your hot spot from yesterday might suck today. A few snook are also under the trees. The trout outside the bar are still biting, but it's not like it was a couple weeks ago. The south end has had some ladyfish, and there might be a tarpon there to eat them.

Robert & Capt. Josh 11/11/2023 — A lot of little snook, but also an assortment of redfish (mostly just under the slot, but a few keepers). Some trout are in 4-ish feet of water outside the bar south of the halfway point.

Robert & Capt. Josh 11/05/2023 — Snook and redfish under the bushes, eating shrimp, pinfish, cutbait, soft plastic paddletails, and MirrOdines. Trout are at the mouths of the bigger creeks and in 4 to 6 feet outside the bar. Pompano have skipped but not caught.

Robert & Capt. Josh 10/28/2023 — One of the better spots overall. Redfish and snook under the bushes and in the creek mouths, taking shrimp, cut ladyfish, live pinfish or whitebait, and of course soft plastic lures. There are trout and ladyfish on top of and outside the bar. A few small bull sharks are around too.

Robert & Capt. Josh 10/14/2023 — Redfish are under the bushes, and so are snook. Trout and ladyfish on the flats and at the bar edge. Spoons and soft plastics are working well for the trout and ladies, then chop up a ladyfish for redfish bait.

Robert & Capt. Josh 10/07/2023 — Scattered schools of ladyfish on top of the bar and out to about 8 feet of water, with lots of undersize trout mixed in. Redfish and snook under the bushes and in the creek mouths; reds are slot to oversize and the snook are all small. Fish cut ladyfish or pinfish for the redfish.

Capt. Josh & Fishin' Frank 10/03/23 — Mixed bag here. With so much fresh water coming down the rivers, bait is dying quickly. Use a bucket with an aerator. All the large creek mouths have small to medium redfish and some snook (mostly small, but bigger if you get up into the creeks).

Robert & Capt. Josh 09/16/2023 — Lots of snook and 20-inch-class redfish, mostly around the creek mouths. They're hitting lots of different things, but you've got to have moving water, and if there's at least two feet of water that's better.

Robert & Capt. Josh 09/09/2023 — Action here is picking up. Lots of redfish reports along the bushes, especially near the creek mouths. The same areas are holding scattered snook. Trout on the bar and bar edge. Juvenile tarpon rolling just inside the bar are easy to see but hard to hook.

Robert & Capt. Josh 07/22/2023 — A few redfish plus a handful of smaller snook. Reports of skipped pompano. Heading south, there are more trout, but not big ones. Small sharks are possible outside the bar.

Robert & Capt. Josh 07/01/2023 — A few snook reports, but lots of trout on the bar and outside in 3 to 6 feet of water. Smaller sharks (blacknose and sharpnose, plus a couple baby bulls) have been caught by the trout anglers on shrimp and even lures.

Robert & Capt. Josh 06/24/2023 — A lot of snook, but they moving a lot and not cooperating well. A couple small redfish. A few trout in 3 to 4 feet of water on top of the bar. A lot of manatees feeding in this area, so watch your speed in shallow water.

Robert & Capt. Josh 06/10/2023 — Lots of little snook. A few trout on top of the bar. That's it.

Robert & Capt. Josh 06/03/2023 — Lots of little snook. A few trout. Quite a few manatees. Very clear water.

Robert & Capt. Josh 05/20/2023 — From Trout Creek south, some snook, a few redfish, and some trout on top of the bar. A couple small cobia seen but not hooked.

Robert & Capt. Josh 05/13/2023 — It's been quiet, partly due to so many people tarpon fishing. A few cobia seen, a few pompano and trout on the outside of the bar. Some dink snook and redfish caught under the mangroves. The water is very clear here.

Robert & Capt. Josh 03/25/2023 — The north end is still fairly slow. A scattering of snook and redfish are eating shrimp, cut mullet and cut ladyfish along the south half. The creek mouths are top locations. Some short cobia and manatees have been reported on the grassflats.

Robert & Capt. Josh 03/18/2023 — The north end is slow, with just a few snook here and there. But from the halfway point south, the creeks are holding decent numbers of snook plus a handful of redfish. Shrimp are good; cut ladyfish are catching reds plus a few of the snook. The flats have been slow, besides some manatee sightings.

Robert & Capt. Josh 03/11/2023 — The south end has been producing a lot of snook and quite a few redfish, mostly on shrimp. If you want slot reds, go with cutbait instead. The trout are around in fair numbers.

Robert & Capt. Josh 03/04/2023 — Lots of snook and redfish under the bushes and around the creek mouths. Lures and natural bait are both working. Try soft plastic shad, MirrOdines, live shrimp, or cut mullet/ladyfish. Trout and short cobia on the bar. A few small tarpon spotted on the open flats. Also, one guy caught one pompano, which is potentially significant because other people have skipped them lately.

Robert & Capt. Josh 02/18/2023 — Some trout outside the bar, mostly on the southern end. Snook and redfish under the bushes. Short cobia on the bar itself. Quite a few bonnethead sharks.

Robert & Capt. Josh 02/11/2023 — As before, the lower end is better. Redfish from 12 to 24 inches, mostly smaller snook but some big ones are around. Trout and some very short cobia are on the bar. Bonnetheads might be anywhere. Be ready to cover ground to find fish.

Robert & Capt. Josh 02/04/2023 — The lower end is still much better. Redfish in low end of the slot and snook are both biting. Trout and pompano are on top of the bar, and you might spot a cobia if you keep a sharp watch.

Robert & Capt. Josh 01/28/2023 — Some pompano on top of the bar scattered all over. Trout on top and just outside the bar. Some snook and redfish along the bushes anywhere there's water flow. Shrimp and soft plastic shad are both working.

Robert & Capt. Josh 01/21/2023 — Lots of smaller snook and redfish, but few keeper reds. On top of and outside the bar, we've seen trout, pompano and bonnetheads on shrimp or soft plastic shad. It's better as you go south.

Robert & Capt. Josh 01/07/2023 — Slow at the north end, snook and reds farther south. Trout and pompano on top of the bar. All are eating shrimp. Overall, OK but not great.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Robert & Capt. Josh 08/29/2022 — Best shot for a keeper redfish when season opens Sept. 1 is here, but they're very scattered under the trees and in the creek mouths. Moving water is key, fish with cut mullet or ladyfish. There are also snook here doing the same; MirrOdines and soft plastics might also work. Ladyfish and tarpon eating glass minnows on the bar; if there's a feeding frenzy happening the snook and reds might join it.

Robert & Capt. Josh 08/13/2022 — The trough between the bushes and the flat itself is holding juvenile tarpon. A few snook and redfish are under the trees, most of them farther south.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Robert & Capt. Josh 07/30/2022 — Very quiet, especially at the north end. Some ladyfish on the bar and outside it.

Robert & Capt. Josh 07/23/2022 — Pretty quiet. As you get closer to Cape Haze, cutbait under the mangroves might get a red or snook.

Robert & Capt. Josh 07/02/2022 — Snook and redfish, mostly up under the bushes. Dead bait is good (mullet, ladyfish, shrimp). Some jacks and a few cobia on the flats, plus a couple tarpon in the troughs.

Fishin Frank, & Robert, The Blind Tarpon - 05/23/20 ------ The north section is slow but the south half is good with Cobia on the bar and Red fish with some snook in the creeks
Lots of manatees and Cow nose rays in huge schools

Fishin Frank, & Robert, The Blind Tarpon - 05/16/20 ------ The north end is slower the best action is south of the tower and there is Cobia and Sharks on the bar with reds under

Fishin Frank, & Robert, The Blind Tarpon - 05/02/20 ------ Southern part of the wall has a bunch of Snook and reds and on top of the bar Cobia and pompano and the Tarpon are more on hte out side edge of the bar and there is a ton of manatees on the south end close to cape haze watch
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fishin Frank, & Robert, The Blind Tarpon - 04/18/20 ------ A lot of Snook they are heading south but the reds are all up and down the wall and Cobia on the bar
The south end has a big school of Manatees

Fishin Frank, & Robert, The Blind Tarpon - 04/11/20 ------ a lot of snook and reds keep your distance back these fish are spooky
shrimp and or pin fish. The Spanish are in 6 foot of water off the bar , the Cobia are crusing the bar as well

Fishin Frank, & Robert, The Blind Tarpon - 04/04/20 ------ Pretty good for Pompano and Cobia with some big Tarpon on top of or just out side the bar.
Under the mangroves from hte towers south is best for big Snook and mixed sized Red Fish

Hi Frank

Love the area fishing reports. West Wall intrigues me. I have a hybrid bay boat, so can't get in as skinny as a skiff. I'm comfortable in 2 ft using my trolling motor. Can I get inside the bar, at least at the south end?

Thanks Marty

Answer---

You are right about the south end having more water,

https://fishinfranks.com/cape_haze.htm this is a link to my cape haze page

the 3rd picture and the 6 th picture show how to get in behind the bar pretty good.

on the 3rd you see the yellow circle and the slightly deeper water, just to the north
and now keep in mind depending on the tide that could be 3” to 1’ deep
Just be SURE you are at dead slow IDLE when trying to go into this area. pay NO attention to other boat do not really try to follow other boats,
Go slow and do your own thing, their boat may draft a couple inches less than you and you follow on plane at speed and bam stuck.

After a couple trips in and out you will get to be an old hand and have no trouble getting in or out, give yourself time to learn and explore.
I often use Cape Haze as an entrance to the West wall fishing
Have fun , Stay safe and healthy
Fishin Frank

If the tide is lower as it is most of the time, right now, the ditch/trough along in front of

branches, I would fish the west side you can cast 6 feet in front of the mangorves
and still catch Red fish

In the mouths of the creeks and just under a big green leafy bush. good fishing
here along the wall, also some Black drum and sheep head. with you never know what
all in the same spot. What ever had been going on this last week has seen a turn around
in the fishing.

Fishin Frank & Robert's report--03/09/15------- The Red fish and Snook are both here
in good numbers. The fish are right up under the bushes, the Reds are still hitting shrimp
and a few Snook, but whtie bait seems to be the ticket as the water gets warmer.

Fishin Frank & Robert's report--03/02/15------- The west wall is a mix of good and bad
the Red are here and lots of them but they are either bunched up are just one lonley fish
hard to tell. which you have so if you get one, keep fishing there a while, once one hits
it can take a while for the other ones to bite.
There are some Trout out on the flat and on top of the bar.
The murky water on this side of the harbor make it easier to catch fish here as you can be closer

Fishin Frank & Robert's report--03/30/15------ Lot of Snook, a few Red fish
