Cobia Make-Up trips

I’ve had multiple requests from 1 or 2 anglers that are interested in Cobia fishing this spring, and are also interested in splitting the trip with other anglers.  This is a great opportunity to get out there, save some money, and meet some new people.  So I am starting with 2 Saturdays at the end of May to put trips together.  These are 8+ hour trips / 4 anglers / $700.  The cost is $175 per person, and a $100 deposit is required to lock in your spot.  If conditions do not allow us to get out and look for cobia – your deposit will be refunded. Thanks – Details below.  YOU CAN DO YOUR OWN CASTING ON FISH!  It is not all about how many dead fish we have on the dock at the end of the trip – it’s about you having an enjoyable experience. If you want to cast on fish – you are more then welcome to.  Call me if you have any questions.

Saturday May 23rd – 3 Spots open

Saturday May 30th – FULL

Thank YOU!!

I just wanted to thank those of you who follow the site, fish with me, or booked with me for 2015.  This site has grown to well over 100 hits a day and my pre-season charter bookings are the highest they’ve ever been.  I am so pumped to get back on the water and gets some lines stretched out for you guys!  If you have any questions about a charter please give me a call – I can tell you everything to expect on a trip with Salt Minded Charters!  We all had a long winter so give me a call and treat yourself to a day on the water! Summer dates are filling up.

Oh Crappie!

The weather has been so nice lately! Loving it!!!! The saltwater species should be showing up real soon as the water temps continue to climb.  I imagine there is a drum to be caught for those looking to do a recon mission.  In the mean time I get my fix in the sweetwater.  Here is a nice crappie I caught yesterday while I was bass fishing.  Thanks for checking and it’s time to book your trip!  I have 10 days booked in May and another 11 days booked in June, and 5 days booked in July.  Don’t wait til you get here to book or you will probably end up fishing from the pier. Call me !

New boat!!! Snook & Tripletail too

I drove to FL again on Monday night / Tuesday  to go check out a boat.  It was love at first sight!  After an hour and a half with her, I decided it was time to tie the knot.   I am so stoked to bring to you guys the Action Craft Coastal Bay 2310TE. This boat is hands down the PERFECT boat for inshore / nearshore fishing on the Outer Banks. It has tons of room at 24′ long with higher then average gunnels for a bay boat.  It has front and rear casting decks, plenty of comfortable cushioned seating, a bathroom for my family trips, super shallow draft, power pole, trolling motor, the list goes on and on, but the bottom line is you just have to book with me and experience this thing for yourself!

While I was down in SW Florida I decided to bring my kayak.  After the boat thing I launched and caught my very first (and second) snook! WOW! I wish we had these fish here.  They run, jump, flip, twist, and everything you want in a game fish.  Good times!

Next, I met up with my buddy Alex at Local Lines Charters in Merritt Island FL and we did some triple tail fishing.  Another first for me and I got to check it off the list!  I had a blast with Alex, and I highly recommend him if  you are down that way.

PS: Look for some much better photos of the boat as well as a video feature.  First things first, shes getting wrapped! We may not catch the most fish, but we will look the best doing it, HA!!!!
