Fishing Stone Harbor Back Bay

Protected back bay channels behind Stone Harbor with a mix of marsh edge structure, channel edges, and open flat areas. This system holds weakfish through summer and is one of the more consistent spots for them at dawn and dusk on the big tides around new and full moon. Flounder are also consistent from late April through June. The channel edges on the outgoing tide are where stripers work in spring. Light jig heads with soft plastics are versatile enough to cover weakfish and schoolie bass in the same presentation. The protected water makes this fishable even in a moderate southwest wind.
