TOMOKA BASIN, RIVER: Capt. Kyle Busby, of nobigreel.com, says anglers, who want to catch a keeper snook, better get into the river fast. Snook will be off limits starting Sunday, and the ban extends to Aug. 31. As luck would have it, snook are being caught in the Tomoka area. “The snook fishing has been really good leading up to the new moon,” Busby said. Willy “Woody” Johnson caught a 32-inch snook Tuesday fishing with Busby. “The best bet is the early morning to midday bite and a good number of fish are taking top-water plugs,” Busby said. Meanwhile, Capt. Eric Greenstein, of fishtomoka.com, said the river has been giving up tarpon. “Live shrimp and shrimp imitations have been producing the best results,” Greenstein said. “There have been some nice-sized reds scattered along the banks.”

PONCE INLET, HALIFAX RIVER: Skipper Slocum, covering the desk at the Fishin' Cove Bait & Tackle, New Smyrna Beach, said flounder are dominating the inlet catch to the delight of anglers. “They're catching a ton of flounder,” Slocum said. “In the river, they're catching some trout and reds are still around.” Donald Parksey, Donald's Bait & Tackle, Sea Bird Island, said anglers are catching flounder up and down the Dunlawton Causeway. “They're catching whiting, jacks, reds, baby sharks and mango snapper,” he added.

OFFSHORE: The offshore bite is dominated by dolphin, as evidenced by the results of the two tournaments last weekend. Dolphin was the primary catch with a few wahoo and kings tossed into the mix. Slocum said a charter boat docked at the Fishin' Cove on Wednesday with a load of kings.

SURF, PIERS: The piers — Flagler Beach, Sunglow, Daytona Beach — reported various catches. “Blues, whiting, flounder and black drum and everything that has been caught, have been keepers,” Sunglow's Rhonda Nelson said. Daytona has flounder and black drum, while Flagler's catch board showed pompano, black drum blues and whiting.

MOSQUITO LAGOON, INDIAN RIVER: Greg Noel, Lagoon Bait & Tackle, Edgewater, said the “trout are on fire at night around dock lights from the Boston Whaler dock, south.” Guides are catching over-slot reds around Whale's Tail, while anglers are landing big, black bass in the river. And the area is building its flounder population. “They are infesting the river,” Noel said.

MATANZAS INLET, RIVER: Capt. Chris Herrera, palmcoastfishing.com, said flounder are moving into the river, “but nothing too big yet.” Reds are still up on the flats. The best bet right now is trout for early-morning anglers. “Free-line a shrimp,” Herrera said. “I've seen trout in the 7- to 8-pound range.”

ST. JOHNS RIVER: Bluegills and shellcracker are snapping up worms and crickets in Lake Woodruff, according to Capt. Bryn Rawlins of Highland Park Fish Camp, DeLand. “We're seeing bass in the early morning,” she said. “They are taking top-water artificial lures.”
