Posted by The most common questions we answer are the above. It can be a bit overwhelming as to what will pass by throughout the summer. I think the best way to answer that is to remember it is extremely weather and water temperature dependent. The ocean and sound provide alot of different species.
They have a season, they get hungry, they get cold, they get hot and all of the above in a week! They have great eyesight, they move by smell, sound, no sound and more. Their are natural mechanisms they induce them to zip their lips and that is the great part about nature; it allows them to pass unmolested. Fishermen do their best to entice! We can release, sometimes we have to release, sometimes we keep for the BBQ.
Spring can usher in Blues, small sea bass, small occasional sand shark . As the water warms, the cobia will move North in flux; one day here, next not. The blue water heats and the Spanish join the mix . Too hot? Ribbons will make a move and completely dominate an area.
Past few years they have gone from occasional to solid season placement. Drum have been caught in cold and warm temps so as a Pelagic they will move when they choose. Trophy redfish are always release so no crying! Albies, spanish, maybe a King late summer depending on district and movement. That is why we are loaded with tackle. Switch, cast, troll, drift can depend on what is going on! It is fishing!
Will and I have been so grateful. He has been here since 1964 and I have been here now almost 40 yrs. Three generations deep for some anglers who fish us. All the 10 year olds who fished us have kid LOL.
Thank you. If we get hot in July, tired, waiting to be inside in the AC at the end of a big run of trip after trip; know we thank you for the opportunity to just untie. I have to tap dance sometimes due to fish or weather not being the best but I hope you know we give it our all. NOW, let us cross our fingers that the water temps warm early. I honestly am counting down to the ignition switch, the dolphin show, and going under the bridge!
Cheers!
We have many trips for many budgets so lets discuss how we can get you scheduled
