By Oranse Taylor FORT LAUDERDALE - Pre-pod scouting this afternoon we found bait off the beach, and alot of it. Thought it was pod, but it ended up being pre-pod pilchard schools. Huge ones. Half-a-football field size schools of pilchard, close to the beach, and nary a pelican in sight. Typical pre-pod action. Old schoolers know which way those schools are swimming and how to stay on em. The schools were obvious from A1A and we still didn't see a single Happy Baiter. You want pilchard, you got pilchard.

Very excited to announce that Benny Blanco www.fishingflamingo.com and I will be following the bait migration as it comes south down our coast. We will be meeting this week to get a game plan. Not sure where we are going to find them but Benny and I both think they are going to be somewhere between Stuart and Jupiter in the next week or so. We will post our progress as we film the most exciting inshore action of the year. If you have any reports on the mullet run please let us know. Keeping you posted Capt Jeff Twitter @Lunkerdog

FORT LAUDERDALE - Last night we spotted the first pre-pod of the 2009 Mullet Run. It wasn't anything major but it was a decent medium sized bait ball of medium sized silver mullet, and there was action. This is only the begining, and its a pretty good indicator that we might not be out of this heat wave before the bulk of the migration starts showing up off the beaches in the southern part of the state and that would be unusual. Happy Bait.

The mullet run is gonna be here soon, and you gotta keep your gear tight if you expect to have success over the length of the season. We will be traveling and following the mullet pods down the coast so we will have (3) working nets, the nets needs some attention and now is the time to do those repairs and tweaks so you dont end baitless when the pods are in your area. It happens fast and if you aren't ready you miss it. . Once the nets are in order, we will turn our attention to the buckets and wells. That includes pumps and plumbing. The biggest struggle is always separating 5 gallon buckets that are stuck together. The rods and reels were just overhauled but I will go over them anyway, and get anything fixed that is questionable. New line and leaders and hooks. The point here is to have your gear ready so you can get bait and whack some trophy fish. Tarpon, Snook, Jacks, and Sharks. The Old Timers call it Happy Bait, I call it The Run, either way dont show up with gear that don...
