Coming up for Labor Day Weekend

Will be staying near the Indian River outlet. Targeting whatever will bite.

Any luck with minnow traps and catching bait? That is allowed, correct?

If I fish in the Indian River, what lures work and how far up the river is the best fishing?

How is Mile Arm Bay for catching fish?

Are crayfish an effective bait?

How are the mosquitos? I remember them being voracious when I'd wrap up fishing at night.

Finally, anyone had luck using a solar charger to keep their deep cycle battery charged? I have a small 27 lb thrust Pfleuger trolling motor. Once the battery comes down to the boat on Friday, it won't go back in my car till Monday morning. So I will use the motor about 30 minutes on Friday, 1 hour on Saturday, 1 hour on Sunday and 30 minutes on Monday, 3 hours total. My battery is only 35 AH, so not too powerful. My hope is that the solar charger might keep it charged (at least above 30%) by Sunday night. Thoughts? This stuff is all new to me.

Thanks again for educating a neophyte.
