The no-motor zone has reopened with limited access to west of the channel only, a bit of a longer trip but worth it once we reached our destination. Redfish 30" to 40 "+ were seen tailing with their back dorsal fin coming completely out of the water everywhere we looked for about 3 hours between 8 & 11 am. we were able to get hook ups on D.O.A shrimp and live shrimp, the water was pretty dirty and sometimes took few casts before getting hooked up or just end up spooking the big guys off. Blackdrum were seen tailing but being reluctant to take any baits. A few Trout were taken with topwater plugs all about 15 to 20 "and were released.<br><br>Lots of wildlife to be seen on Eco-tours right now Alligators, Manatees, Dolphin and many native and migratory birds can be found. We have even come across wild pigs here lately.<br><br><br><br>See you on the water<br>Capt. Doug Blanton<br>Indian River Adventures<br>321-432-9470
