April 2024 – Saltwater

This may be the first time here at Martin Family Charters that we’ve seen the East Coast and the West Coast fish so similarly. Normally, the speckled trout and redfish are the primary catches inshore, but in April our success was with the smaller jacks, weakfish, snapper, and catfish. Every day we communicate with the local bait shops and other captains in the area, and it seems as though this is common across the board. However, if the seas were manageable, the offshore bite has been solid for croaker, weakfish, grunts, porgies, snapper, and grouper. Also, this month we were reminded of some small tips for going offshore which you can ask the captain prior to your trip.
As we move in to June, the bite should keep on improving. It’s our suggestion to run offshore on the calm days, and stay inshore on the windy days with high seas. Here at Martin Family Charters we always want to focus on the clients having fun! Thank you for reading, and we look forward to seeing you on the water.

Amazing has to be the word to best describe fishing this March. We totally understand that the targeted species is largemouth bass, but the overall bite including largemouth bass, chain pickerel, long-nose gar, catfish, and bowfin was off the charts! That, paired with beautiful weather made it extremely enjoyable to be a fishing charter Captain.
With the water temperature at 76 degrees, the fish are still being seen on their beds even though many of the fish have already moved off for feeding. This has allowed for a variety of fishing techniques and locations to try and still yield results. I hope the temperatures stay cool as it moves in to April, and the fishing should still stay red hot! Thank you for reading, and we look forward to seeing you on the water.
