Ponce Inlet Fishing Report, Sheephead, 1-1-13

I fished in the intracoastal across from Ponce inlet this morning. I fished from my kayak and since dad was there with is Griffcraft, I was able to catch a tow and save a pile of paddling.

Wind; light out of the SW.
Water temp.: low 70's, (super clear)
Tide: half full.
Target Fish: Sheepshead

We stopped on the way to the inlet and caught up some crabs and also scraped some barnacles from a bridge fender. We were after Sheepshead and we has some prime bait.

The water is really clear and I can see a flounder trip coming up in the near future!

Well, we ended up fishing about 3 hours at some docks that have really paid off in the past and we only put (3) fish in the boat. It was slow going to say the least. I was surprised that we did not see some sheepshead feeding on the dock piles with the water so clear.

There was not a lot to report today. There were a bunch of other boats all trying to fish this same general area and we were the only ones that I saw catch a sheepshead.

They should be there! We'll be back!
