January 2024 – Saltwater
BY: Tim / 0 COMMENTS / CATEGORY: Uncategorized
Happy New Year! Looking back at 2023, what a great ride it was!. It was always a treat to get out on the water with any of our clients. Anyway, fishing in January brought some serious optimism on the East Coast. It seems as though the Indian River is looking better after another algae bloom, and the fish are looking healthier. Granted, there is still a long way to go. I think there is not near enough natural seagrasses to clean the water, but that can be a discussion for another day. East Coast fish caught included Spanish mackerel, mangrove snapper, blue runners, jack crevalle, speckled trout, weakfish, sheepshead, and a few small black drum.
On the West Coast, the bite in Tampa Bay was pretty solid when the weather was warm. Additionally, tides seemed to impact the bite a little more than usual. This led to the need for some flexibility on the starting time of the charter. When we timed it right, species caught included Spanish mackerel, bonnet-head sharks, speckled trout, flounder, ladyfish, sheepshead, grunts, mangrove snappers, and some small jacks.
Thank you to all of our January groups, and we look forward to an awesome February!
