Wahoo.
I took a day off in order to get offshore and do something that I typically don't do with clients. It was also supposed to be slick calm but light and variable became east 15. That made the stream choppy (blowing against the current) and a bit too much running 8 lines out of a 23' center consol for a [...]
More flounder and big spanish.
The bite improved over yesterday - we smoked the big spanish getting 12+ bites and landing 8 over 5lbs (biggest just over 6). The flounder were steady on jigs and livies -- we picked away at them getting 14 keepers, a bunch of throwbacks and a 3lb seabass to round it out. Jason landed the largest with a citation 5lb'r [...]
The motley crew.
Today was nice - decent weather with outstanding folks. Started off the morning with a double header of 30" cobes and caught 2 big spanish on light lines before the bite changed over to that of sharks. Flounder bite was a hair slower today - live bait was key (still got a few on jigs) but my menhaden were a [...]
Quality.
New theme today - serious quality. East wind killed our flounder bite, slowed the mackerel bite although we did manage a 3lb spanish and 2 big flatties (one at 5lbs). We pushed off looking for jacks - found none - but we did get in a great gag bite landing our limit! Woot! The treat was being visited by a [...]
Flounder bite continues…
Epic again today - chris, chris and eric had 18 keepers (biggest is chris senior's 7lb'r pictured) a bunch of bass, hake, etc. Absolutely crazy for august. Tried to look for jacks - found some albies and a 10 tiger shark cruising the surface. Also landed a 23" grouper on one of our only "primo" baits. Also pictured is Eric [...]
More great flounder fishin’
The big mackerel bite was off today - sunny conditions and thick water from the last few rough days. Should clean up really quickly. The flounder bite remains red hot - we boated 6, keeping 5 between 17 and 20" in less than 45mins before deciding to go play with 2-3lb bluefish that were terrorizing pods of menhaden.
