Night Ops

My buddy Chory and I were jonesing to catch a fish.  The wind was blowing 25mph out of the NE and it was a bit chilly. . . For some reason, that didn’t stop us.  We packed up and headed to my favorite little night spot to try and get some pullage.  We managed some small stripers and a few puppy drum.  Here is Chory and myself with our 22 inchers.

Striper Charters

As the air and water temps drop, Salt Minded Charters is going to start changing gears. There are still plenty of trout and drum around, but they are on their way out.  I will be offering rock fish charters and it seems like we are starting to see some better numbers early this season.   Here are a couple pics of some stripers myself and friend / fellow charter Capt. Marc Kerns of Rock On Charters found on a recent trip to one of the local bridges.  Mid to Late November should be an excellent time to target these fish.  Give me a shout and lets go fishin!

Ditching everything

Every winter myself, along with a number of others, get obsessed with chasing trophy specks in the “Hot Ditch.”    I have been chasing a double digit trout up there for a few years now.  Here are a few that keep me going back.  Hoping this is the year.  If I get a 10+ I will never go back.

Between the rain

Had Jim and his wife Lee Ann on board today for an afternoon charter.  Fortunately,  we timed it just right and never felt a drop of rain.  During that time we caught trout and drum.  I think I need to sharpen my hooks up because we had a lot of missed opportunities. Still managed a great catch and I think they will enjoy their trout and drum for dinner. Thanks for fishing with me!
