The tide was super low and the water was barely moving but we managed to have a GREAT day.
After waiting for the tide to move a bit, we started hooking into fish left and right.
Although bites were hard to come by at first, we did see a lot of fish all around us.
They just needed that tide to kick in a bit more to start actively feeding.
There was ZERO current flow which is often critical to spark a bite.
No water movement caused these fish to become skittish and spooked by anything we threw at them.
I was throwing paddletail and shrimp presentations when I realized I was reeling my lures in too fast.
So I decided to tie on a Z-Man Kicker CrabZ on a Texas Eye Jighead for more of a finesse approach.
Later on, the wind and current picked up and made the water dirty and murky.
You already know I made use of Dr. Juice Saltwater Slam Scent to enhance my presentations.
In dirty water, scent can make all the difference between a skunk and a banner day.
Much later on in the day when more water had filled in, I switched over to the F.R.E.D. BOMBER lure.
With more water now in the area, the BOMBER would swim perfectly in the water column.

I noticed fishing on the 9th this past Sat that the smarts app kept showing me the same places to fish that it did in the summer months I fished millcove and although I did pretty good 5 reds and a flounder on my zman spinnerbait with a gulp pearl 4 inch paddletail with a chartruse tail the spots that said were great during the times I fished didn’t even produce a bump for me in fact I didn’t even see any bait activity in the area at all but when I moved to a location that was marked fair to poor I immediately started catching fish and both locations had good tidal flow the last 2 hours of the incoming for the first spot and the first of the incoming for the spot that produced I remember several weeks ago reading a comment from an insider member stating he saw the same thing in fact he said that no matter what time or what tide phase the app for him showed the same spots he was confused and now I am as well although when I used the app the spots did change from great to fair only it seemed like the great spots were fair and the fair spots turned out great for me just goes to show you nothing is perfect my only complaint is when you coaches alot of times say a guaranteed way of doing something in one of your tips or ways of catching fish in a given situation because if you think about it really nothing is guaranteed especially in fishing🤔
You are definitely correct Steven… nothing is guaranteed in fishing or on the water. We can only hope to dial in the fish. Technology is a different beast altogether. lol
I do like that spinnerbait and Gulp combo though! I am also gonna try out the Zman Spinnerbait you like! I’ll be sure to report back!
Thanks for the comment, Steven!
Awesome read, in Daytona Beach FL
