Anglers fishing the waters just outside of the Port should continue to catch a variety of shark species, plus bull sized redfish, bluefish, crevalle jack and tarpon near bait pods in the 10 to 30- foot depths. Boaters can either anchor, drift, or slow troll with live or cut baits to have a shot at one of these large hard- fighting species. Tripletail are another fish species that anglers should be able to catch this month. They are often seen “free swimming” on the surface or holding on some form of floating object. Sargasso weed, wood planks, coconuts and other debris, or even dead floating sea birds can be good “flotsam” where anglers can find these funny looking fish close by. Pompano, whiting, and sheepshead can be holding in the surf zones in decent numbers if the weather stays nice.
