June-6
Fishin Frank & Robert's report--06/24/15------ More rpeorts of Trout and Red fish
moving water is key for both of them, in the ICW find deep water over 10 feet close to
the main land and the white bait is hold up in these deeper water pockets. I know they should
be in the shallow water but these are hiding in the deep.

Fishin Frank & Robert's report--06/15/15------ Nothing too much until you get to the
pass, The best fishing for Reds and Snook is aorund the islands close to stump pass

Fishin Frank & Robert's report--06/08/15------Big Trout not a lot of them but Big they are
the red fish are still in decent numbers but you have to work for them<
Getting some Tarpon using the inter coastal , but Out side Stump pass the Tarpon are here a lot
maybe not biting but at least here.

Fishin Frank & Robert's report--06/02/15------ The docks are loaded up with some Snook
and gag grouper, Stump pass some good fishin, big whiting and some Flounder.
Lot sof tarpon Blue runners, Jacks, all may be had from the beach

Fishin Frank & Robert   06/09/16----- Trout and red fish both are getting better in numbers
a few Tarpon working the bay, Sharks and some Gag grouper.

July
Fishin Frank & Robert's report--07/28/15------ Really a lot of Red fish here,
 shrimp free lined to drift with the currant, be it along a mangrove shore-line or up
& under a dock should get you a great day fishing for Reds

Fishin Frank & Robert's report--07/15/15------ Red fish, ads you get closer to stump pass
Gets better and better, Quite a few Snook being caught, they want to head up into the creeks
but the heat is keeping them closer to the pass, So Ski alley or really any where close to Stump
pass out side or in, has a lot of Snook, and many of them are monster size over 40 inches

Fishin Frank & Robert's report--07/06/15-----really good time for catching Red Fish
around the pass Cut bait , Pin fish or lady fish is the key to a great day catching reds

August
Fishin Frank & Robert   08/24/15------ Lots of Red fish, schools scatted all over the bay
Under docks, and out to stump pass. This is the most Reds of the years now, Pin fish and or
cut lady fish, Small gold spoons 1/8 or 1/4 once small bright any color as long as it is gold

 

Fishin Frank & Robert   08/12/15------ there is a lot of reds ,
2 major schools of Reds have come in from the gulf, from Tom adams bridge
south monster Snook under the docks closer to Stump pass the better
 

September
Fishin Frank & Robert   09/15/15------Really , really good fishing for Red fish here in the bay
Form the pass to the ICW look under docks between islands. where ever you find the water
flowing between something or good water flow under a dock, there is REd fish there

Fishin Frank & Robert   09/07/15------Lot of red fish here, They are in the sand holes
just in-side the ICW on the flats, Cut bait like Lady fish or sardines seem to be the best bet.
The Snook inside the Bay are under the docks, and around the bridges.
