July 2023 – Saltwater
BY: Tim / 0 COMMENTS / CATEGORIES: Uncategorized
Woohoo! Saltwater charters resumed in July, and it was so much fun getting back on the water. Granted, we have spent a lot of time on the water on our own, so we had a pretty good idea where the fish were. The speckled trout bite was awesome, but we continued to struggle to catch redfish and snook. We think that they are still being highly pressured with so many boats on the water. Other species caught in July included mangrove snapper, jack crevalle, ladyfish, porgies, grunts, and small grouper. In addition, it was the first time that we’ve ever seen two cutlassfish caught on the same charter. (See the picture). We are thankful for all our guests and families in July, and we hope to see you on the water in August!

July 2023 – Freshwater

With the water temperature around 85 degrees, it has been a couple of months since the bass were on beds. This means that fishing the shorelines were relatively unpredictable in July, so we had to find the fish offshore. It was easy to find the fish, as they were blasting balls of baitfish throughout the day. Sometimes chasing these fish reminded me of two positive magnets, as the closer we got to the fish the further they swam from the boat. Yet, if they were close, all we had to do when the bass broke the surface was to make an accurate cast with whatever lure we had tied on. Most days this was a blast, but it was a little tough for our novice fishermen. With all that is going on in our world, it has been a pleasure to be on the water and spend time with some wonderful families. Thank you for reading, and we look forward to August!
