It's
really
hard
to
believe
that
the
year
is
now
half
over,
the
fishing
has
been
really
superb,
to
bad
we
can't
say
that
for
the
weather.
The
winds
still
are
blowing
and
here
we
are
at
hurricanes
season
again.
The
redfish
are
still
schooled
up
in
the
Tomoka
Basin
as
well
as
the
river
system,
they
seem
to
eat
anything
you
throw
at
them
if
they
are
in
the
right
mood,
doesn't
that
sound
familiar.
The
best
baits
I
have
found
recently
have
been
gold
spoon,
bucktail
jigs
tipped
with
shrimp
and
jerk
worms,
Zoom
Golden
Brem,
run
them
naked,
no
weight.
The
Snook
and
Tarpon
have
been
on
the
feed
quite
heavily
and
should
only
get
better
as
the
summer
progresses.
Capt.
Doug
Buchanan
reported
the
Snook
do
not
seem
to
be
around
the
downtown
bridges,
yet
they
are
all
over
the
High
Bridge.
The
Tarpon
are
everywhere
in
the
river
but
they
are
mostly
being
there
moody
self
and
feeding
at
night
on
the
full
moon.
The
creeks
from
Port
Orange
to
Ponce
Inlet
are
only
fair
at
the
present
time
but
should
start
to
pick
up
this
month.
Some
areas
are
ahead
of
schedule
and
some
seem
to
be
behind,
just
get
out
there
and
fish
you
will
find
them.
