Cooler water temperatures and receding grass beds are setting the stage for fishing for chain pickerel. Once the grass is gone, chain pickerel will orient to sunken wood and similar structure. Anglers are finding white perch in the deeper waters of the tidal rivers and creeks this week. Water temperatures are about 5 degrees warmer in 15-20 feet of water. Fishing for a mix of blue catfish and channel catfish offers some excellent fishing opportunities in the region’s tidal rivers. Water temperatures are cool enough to cause most catfish to be very active. |
