Any suggestions on what to use?Thu, 21 Aug 2008 11:06:32 GMTKing Fishermanhttp://www.addictivefishing.com/forum/Topic29071-9-1.aspxaround ft. myersSat, 09 Aug 2008 18:40:04 GMTcaptnkylehttp://www.addictivefishing.com/forum/Topic29071-9-1.aspxwhere abouts?Thu, 07 Aug 2008 17:09:29 GMTBluetanghttp://www.addictivefishing.com/forum/Topic29071-9-1.aspxwe just had a artificial reef put in about 10 miles out and in three months we have all of the fish you described and moreWed, 06 Aug 2008 17:26:07 GMTcaptnkylehttp://www.addictivefishing.com/forum/Topic29071-9-1.aspxI've found the reefs can be both your best day of fishing or your worst. You will find mixed results depending on the time of day, water clarity, moon, seasonality of the species, etc. The thing that I like about reefs is, if it's a good day, you never know what to expect. Cobia (love live bait), baracuda, grouper, mackeral, snapper, you name it. Bring a variety of baits. Some days gulp shrimp work great, other days might be squid, live shrimp, or sardines, etc. Chum always works good to corral some action. Don't be afraid to try some lures either. Cuda tubes are a blast on the right day. When in doubt, before you leave, troll a proven local lure over or around the reef at 5 knots. We've landed many fish this way on days all the boats on the reef were catching nothing. I like the offshore kit lures Angler Systems recommends for the Fl coast.
