First of all, I want to thank everyone who sent me emails and text messages checking on me and wishing us well. It really meant a lot. Irene really fizzled for us - thurs evening we were on the fence as whether to evacuate with the boats or ride it out...but when they descreased it [...]
Very nice day - cloudy in the morning. Sunny and very calm in the evening - water is green and clear with just a small swell rolling in. The morning gave us good spanish mackerel casting. We tried for sharks but they were a no show. We had a great time in the afternoon - [...]
I really do love everything about wahoo - their savage strikes, blistering runs, gorgeous stripes and, of course, on the grill... This isn't the type of trip I do with clients all that often, or really ever, but we typically get some really nice weather days in late august when the wahoo fishing is quite [...]
As our summer season starts to slow down - the fish just keep chewing. Claire did a great job with spanish and blues...but she wanted to catch a shark as well. We put an hour in - caught a giant ray and hooked 2 sharks. We fought one for a good while but he managed [...]
Jarret and his pops and grandpa worked through a VERY slow inshore bite to get Jarret his first red - not only that, he did it all himself from the cast. Great job!
Started off rough this morning - swelly and blowing out of the north. By midday it was slacking and slicking up - we had good bait and got on good fish. Big seabass and small grouper ruled the morning until we zero'd a great gag bite. Interupted only by a passing 12lb cow mahi (on [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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) [...]
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 [...]
