Bolivar Fishing Report
- Jun 26, 2024
- GOOD. 82 degrees. Water levels are perfect with tides and low wind this week changing back to four tide days over the weekend. Less freshwater on the bay side but it has not affected the bite. People are still catching plenty of redfish of varying sizes everywhere! Small croakers along with sand trout, sheepshead, black drum, speckled trout, and crabs caught along the jetty with plenty of stingrays and sharks. Pompano and jack crevalle are still running. The surf is producing redfish and black drum, gafftop, lots of stingrays, and bigger sharks along the whole peninsula with high activity towards Gilchrist and High Island. The sargassum, seaweed, is sporadic in spots per normal. People are using all kinds of different things for bait this past week with awesome results. Finger mullet has been a popular alternative. Report by Captain Shane Rilat, North Jetty Bait Camp.
