Yep, Ive been out there a few times this week and havent had problems catching blues in the 4-5 lb range. These are good fun and are great on light tackle, they pull like a red sometimes.
Also, if you have the patience, there are a few keeper mangroves, just have to wade through the little guys~ any advice on how to get the bigger ones?? Bigger bait??
Those little gags are quite a whallop when not expecting it.
No reds though, but I havent timed the outgoing tide right

getting baits past the smaller snappers is a pain for sure one thing to try is use small live baits ie finger mullet or if u can get them menhadden or little greenies. another thing is use a longer leader with more weight and switch to florocarbon- seems the larger a mangrove/black/grey snapper gets the more wary they become. more weight lets you get down to the bigger guys faster and a longer leader keeps the bait away from the weight. If you can get the to eat cut bait then just using a bigger bait would probably help alot. Kind of odd no reports of sheaphead on the rocks yet..normally it would be full of em by now. No flounder out there either?

| there are some flounder out there not in great numbers but i witnessed 6 being caught last week including one by myself. as far as the sheepies i've seen a couple and they are usually along the beach side of jetties.
