TOMOKA FORECAST

As the summer rolls in the days get hotter which means the fishing time gets earlier, before sun up is a good time to begin. This is a fun time to fish top water baits til about 8am. Then change to a paddle tail on a jig or an old favorite that people forget about, the gold spoon. Then if you really plan it out right go home in the afternoon, get some sleep and food, let the afternoon showers do their thing and go back early evening and fish through dark or as long as time permits. As you read this you are probably thinking who has that much time to fish? Well, some of us are lucky.

I find that the tarpon, snook, trout, and reds are all available at these times of the day. Now for those of you that fish in the heat of the day look for tree limbs hanging over the water and deep water nearby. Deep water could be 3 or 4 feet. If you are fishing artificial, work them slower during the heat of the day. Use a bottom rig if you are fishing live bait. Tight lines!
