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" [...]
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 [...]
This has been an issue several times in the past month, so I want to address it. Many of yall know that I am happy to clean fish for my clients - in fact I enjoy it. I'll even toot my own horn and say that I am pretty darn good at it. It is [...]
Great bite today - crushed the 5-7lb spanish and small kings...then worked on the flounder, landing about 25 with 18keepers, several bass, triggers, etc. Highlight was laura catching a 7lb citation flounder! Tried to grouper fish - landed 5 just under until I ran out of "primo" baits. Great day guys!
I had the Spotts crew today and It was a gorgeous day ight winds with only a decent ground swell. Unfortunately fishing was not as nice as the weather. On the heels of my recent good mahi fishing we decided on doing some slow trolling - caught fish we did, just not our intended quarry. [...]
I had a great time with Mike and michael this afternoon casting to breaking schools of spaniards. They were picky, but we managed a good amount of fish and several nice fish. Michael with his big blue!
It took longer than I would have liked but we finally got Mike his topwater red. Off to try a few more spots and then on to flounder..
After crushing the flounder yesterday - alex and andrew hoped to do the same today. We caught a few, and hooked a bunch, but we found them uncooperative and not all that ready to eat a menhaden. After landing several (including a 4lb'r), a few seabass and a big virginia hake...we decided to light-line some [...]
After 3 days of poor spanish showings they came back in good numbers today - and a good size to boot. We light-tackled a great quality bite. The lovely Taylor smoked her dad and grandpa catching the biggest, the most and the most at 1 time (3 blues on one squid rig)! Good job girl!
To all you folks who bring bananas on my boat...and actually expect to catch something???
