Well, the weather for many of the fishing action has been wonderful this week! The in-shore ledge and shallow flats action has typically slowed for the big fatties under clear water calm conditions. There are a few matures in the mud-line area in the estuary and up the Oak Orchard River to the Waterport Dam. Most of the hookups at the river mouth are low light morning flurries by trollers using bright J-plugins silver bullet and various glow patterns. Don't forget the venerable J -13 rapala, Rattle Trap and Crocodile spoons for flatlining. Please remember the big majors run extra long when hooked in the shallows so be careful leaving the channel. Also, when trolling the flats, move away when someone hooks up and keep your planer board close to the boat. They will still give you an edge.
