North Biscayne Bay is loaded with large schools of finger mullet, possibly the largest fall aggregation in years. In the flat calm conditions, presenting artificials to the snook and tarpon hitting the bait was like serving up a gumball at the diamond counter at Tiffanys- easily inspected and rejected! Additionally, there were surprisingly few predators- given the table spread expanse of finger mullet seemingly everywhere. I did blow out two large snook laid right up against seawalls and shorelines- these tight feeding "ops" presented courtesy of fall flood tides, a week of onshore winds, and five straight days of heavy rain.
Let's hope the mullet persist for a few weeks.
