    🌊 Bay Report

    Water temps stable, with baitfish moving through Indian River Bay. Great day to drop anchor and drift.

    • 🦑 Flounder: Bucktails and squid strips near Massey’s Ditch.
    • 🐠 Trout: Try soft plastics near deeper drop-offs.
    • 🐟 Bluefish: Find the birds and chuck metals!

    🌊 Inshore Waters

    Drift bite is hot mid-tide. Keep your eyes peeled for bunker schools and busting fish offshore.

    • 🐡 Black Sea Bass: 60–90 feet over structure — squid and clam on top and bottom rigs.
    • 🐟 Weakfish: Look near reef sites, bouncing soft baits.

    🌊 Offshore

    It’s game on past the canyons. If you’ve got the fuel, go deep and troll wide.

    • 🐳 Tuna: Spreader bars doing work in 70–100 fathoms.
    • 🐋 Mahi Mahi: Hanging on weed lines — cast with squid strips and bucktails.
    • 🦀 Wahoo: High-speed trolling — don’t blink or you’ll miss the hit!
