July 2024 – Freshwater

I appreciate these summer months, as it really puts an emphasis on strategy and techniques to catch fish. When using artificial lures it is imperative to slow down your retrieval. The fish are lethargic, and as long as the lure can be presented at the same pace, it will yield success. For live bait, there are two different tactics we use. First, using about two feet of fluorocarbon directly tied to braid, we keep the bail open and let the bass slowly drag the bait away before setting the hook. Second, just like when we were kids, we use a live or dead bait under a float. This increases our chances of catching a variety of species including long nose gar, bowfin, chain pickerel, and largemouth bass. Come and put this to the test, and we look forward to seeing you on the water soon!

July 2024 – Saltwater

Much like June, we have had consistently manageable seas off both coasts. This has allowed us to run up to 10 miles offshore, but unfortunately the seas tend to get a little choppier come August. With the 24 ft. Sea Born, most of the groups in July elected to stay in the calmer intercoastal waters. The inshore bite was solid, but not phenomenal. Catches included mangrove snapper, ladyfish, catfish, snook, redfish, stingrays, sharks, croaker, sheepshead, and a couple different species of trout. Especially for the families, this has been a wonderful month of helping the kiddos catch some fish while enjoying the saltwater experience. Thank you for reading, and we look forward to seeing you on the water!
