Last week was great, with 3 medium hammerhead shark being caught, two released, and one died in the fight so they ate it. The shark are swarming pretty good for the spawn.
The water have been looking great, blue-green with waves under 3 foot, but the bait still seems scarce. Mullet, bar jacks, sand minnows, threadfin herring, and that kind of thing isn't seen in large schools right off the beach. That's be later in the season starting in July, which is typical for SPI. September is my favorite month and the fall run can be awesome - long as we don't get the red tide or a hurricane.
I think last year's red tide kind of slowed down our spring run here on the beach, although the bay fishing has been great so far. Massive fish kill on the beach between October and January. I think July will be good but you want a little wave action, since when it goes totally flat the stingray will spawn close to the beach where you walk in the surf. Hope this helps and good luck! I just fish by the tourist condos to just the other side of Access 6 (the end of Park Road 100). That's where we were catching the hammerheads!
