Back at it

Took a couple days off to spend with my girls and to get my outboard serviced.  Been fishing about 2 months straight now – so a day off was nice.  Got back at it today.  Forgot how tough a  hard sou’wester can make the fishing.  This morning was bounced around looking for drum and never found em’.  I take that back – we found them, on someone elses boat.   Got to watch them real in a few.  Were were bout 30 yards away form the zone I guess.   Mid day trip we caught some bottom fish and went for glory outside the inlet. Really wanted to get these guys on a cobia, but it never happened.   Really stiff SSW wind made for some rough / and wet condtions.  These guys should have been rewarded for their efforts.    Last trip it it was blowing about 25+ but we did manage to find some drum that wanted to cooperate.   Thanks for fishing with me everyone !

Multi Report

Been running some half day trips. Having some solid flounder fishing and puppy drum fishing.  Also had a couple trips where we couldn’t find either a just struck out.  Thanks for fishing with me guys!

Flatties!

Had a full day booked for Matt and his wife.  The ocean was the plan, but the stretched out flags kept us inside today.  Turned the trip into half day and crushed the flounder.   Lots of keepers mixed in with the throwbacks.   They managed to get their limit.  Left them and went looking for drum. Found the motherload that wouldn’t bite a gold spoon.  I scrambled to get a piece of cut bait on but it was too late – they were gone.  Oh well, thanks for fishing with me guys! Great work!

Day Savers

The hardest part of this job is not putting together a great catch for every group.  Fishing day in and day out – you just cant get em every day.  This morning I had a nice family who stuck it out in the heat going for glory.  We looked for cobia while trolling for mahi all morning long.  Saw about 7 cobia that weren’t cooperating.  Ended up back inside for the last hour looking for drum.  Found a small school and popped one out of that.  Phew – almost a skunk. 

Second trip was a couple from PA who were used to catching 10″ trout.   So that were pretty stoked when those drum started screaming drag.  We did that for a while then ran outside looking for a cobia.  Saw all the right ingredients – but no brown ones.  Thanks for fishing with me guys!

Mahi, Cobia, and Drum OH MY!

Pieced together a decent full day trip today for Sean & Co.   It was extremely hot with temps in the upper 90s and no wind. The ocean was calm and the water was purdy!  We caught Cobia and Mahi outside and on the way in found a school of 30-33″ drum that wanted to play.   Fun day – thanks guys!
