July brings heat and thunderstorms and your best shot at a tarpon. The snook have moved into the inlets and the beach. Best time to catch these fish are low light times morning or just at sunset. Capt. Chris SharpJul 3rd, 2014
The bulk of my effort in July will be focused on the near-shore waters of the Atlantic and Sebastian Inlet. Since mid-May I have been spending every opportunity Mother Nature will allow, outside the inlet. There are kingfish, cobia, bonito and jack crevalle within a couple miles of the beach.Capt. Gus BruggerJul 3rd, 2014
With the heated water temperatures, a lot of the pelagic have thinned out and moved on their way north. July is a month to look deeper into the water column for the great snapper bite. The Treasure coat has many species to catch but the main three to target will be mangrove, mutton and during the three weekend season, American red snapper (ìARSî). Capt. Danny MarkowskiJul 3rd, 2014
The inshore fishing should be in full swing for trout, tripletail, redfish and snapper. The trout action should be best at first light with top water baits or a live pilchard or greenie. Free line it with a 2/0 live bait hook.Capt. Joe WardJul 3rd, 2014
When fishing in July you need to beat the heat by being on the water early and in your fishing zone by safe light. Be on the lookout for rolling tarpon ease up on them and shut down the engine and wait for the fish to show and pitch a bait (crab, greenie, or mullet) in front of the roll and wait for the pickup.Editorial StaffJul 3rd, 2014
