HOT,
HOT, HOT !!!! That’s all I can say. I love it !!! Well, we made it
through tarpon season and now we are back in the bay fishing for
Redfish, trout, mackerel, and all of the other bat fish . I even
caught a few nice snook on my last trip out.
August full moon brings in the big redfish schools. It happens every
year around the full moon. Schools of reds make there way into the
bay and feed on the schools of sardines that are all over the
shallow flats. These reds are mostly oversize, in the 30 inch range
, but occasionally we get a few keepers. These big reds fight like
no other fish in the bay. On light tackle , you cant beat them. I
like to use live bait , but you can get them to eat spoons , jerk
baits , and cut bait. These fish can be a little harder to keep up
with on some days . The weather and tides are key to getting on the
big schools.
Offshore fishing is getting a little better. Some keeper grouper and
snapper are starting to bite along with amberjacks , sharks , and
mackerel. I have done well on the close in reefs on Spanish
mackerel and getting the snappers further out. The weather has been
pretty calm , so we can get out fairly easy. I am expecting the
redfish to be the main focus for the next month, We are right on the
best moon for the reds. We are seeing good numbers already, so it
will be good for a while. Offshore should continue to get better
with more fish on the reefs.
Give us a call and get a group together. Tight lines, Capt. Tom Jr.
