[adamrap81]

Anyone fish peanut island? Whats there? I read about tarpon and snapper... My cousin is having a Bday party there and I thought Id bring my gear and check out the scene...Any information would be great. Thanks all.

Jacks and cudas were normally my catches when I used to fish that area some.

seems like there is alot of boat traffic, I would prob try the south side of the island towards the inlet

Jacks, I'd take my long rod and flip diamond jigs.

There is a little bay on the NW side that may hold some tiny snapper.

If youy have access to a boat, you could hit the Ryobi Spencer artificial reef on the inside about a mile south on the east side. You'll know you are there because you'll see others there too.

yep that is true. the only thing that is going to be out in this temperature is the flocks of birds from the north. to them, a high of 67 degrees feels more like 80 without humidity.

Would you be referring to the glowing white folks in the way too small swim suits?

Fished it last night. Top water, Trolling, Shrimp, Jigs, Soft Plastic, Bait on the bottom. - no action - It was blowing 20mph from the S.E. We were the only people out.
