In this segment of Shallow Water Angler it’s OK to lurk in the shadows. Both inshore and nearshore gamefish follow other fish, marine animals and even wading anglers and boats being poled waiting for an easy meal.
Join editor Terry Gibson as he fishes the backcountry of Florida in a classic shadow-feeding event where stingrays and mullet schools create all sorts of feeding opportunities where shrimp, crabs and small finfish are pushed up in the water column in a cloud of “smoke”.
Also, you don’t want to miss a true “event” going on from Georgia south. Once or twice a year migrating manta rays move up and down the coast followed by tackle busting size cobia. Editors Jeff Weakley and David Conway are fortunate enough to take advantage of this opportunity. Don’t miss it.
