December 2024 – Saltwater

The ability to fish either coast based on weather conditions was crucial for Martin Family Charters this month. The extra half hour drive to Tampa proved to be worth it. Schools of baitfish are turning up in abundance, as the pelicans, sea gulls, and cormorants are having their fill. With the restrictions on speckled trout and redfish, it seems as though they are making a strong comeback as well. Even though you can’t keep any right now, it does provide a lot of exciting action! Thank you for reading, and we look forward to seeing you on the water in January!

December 2024 – Freshwater

December was a great month for many of our fishermen that wanted to escape the cold from up north. However, little did they know it would still be a little chilly down here in Florida! For us, numerous twenty degree temperature changes were common which made fishing tough. Earlier in the year, we had success catching specks or crappie, but we couldn’t seem to find them stacked up in December. Even our bass fishing purest seemed happy to feel any type of a pull, whether it was a long-nose gar, catfish, bowfin, or largemouth bass. Total catch numbers ranged from a few to the high teens in a half-day, and the biggest fish caught was around 6 lbs. Hopefully, we’ll see those temperatures rise soon and the spawn will be on in late January! Thank you for reading, and we look forward to seeing you on the water.
