Fishing Report 8/1/08
Headed out today to catch dinner. I don’t know what that entails yet, kind of playing it by ear with the weather ever-changing this week. Hope to find some snapper and maybe a tripletail. I will be scouring the bridges and channel markers. Look for an update later.
As far as the other reports go: snook, reds and snapper are hitting day and night, north and south. Get out there and get ‘em, there’s no better time!
Surf Report 8/1/08
Upham Beach 7:00am: Some small slop still out there in the shin high to knee range. Looks to be dropping a little from where it was mid week. I will look at it later and give you a better update. Think we could see some small surf this weekend on the low tides but nothing too big. Skim should stay pretty solid through the weekend.
Species Spotlight III - Atlantic Spadefish
A common fish in Florida Waters that are found around any kind of structure is the Atlantic Spadefish. I have rarely seen any articles or stories about these fish but they are great fighters and average table fare. These fish have always been one of my favorite fish to catch just because they fight hard and are cool looking fish. Commonly found on reefs and around bridges they have always been a tough fish for me to seek out and catch except for areas where they are in schools and eating everything around them.

Upham Beach 9:00am: Surf is about shin to knee high right now. Smaller than yesterday. Skim looks to be pretty fun. We surfed it on the long boards last night and it was shin to knee with some bigger sets that were few and far between. It was pretty low tide when we were out. It may hold through tomorrow, I will try to update later today. Picture Below from last night.

Upham Beach 9:00am: Looks to be some rideable surf today. Most likely in the knee to thigh range all day. It is a little sloppy but may clean up at some of your favorite breaks. Surf should hold through Friday with some small leftovers for the weekend. We will update more later today, we plan to hit Upham after work.
