SW FL-Bonita Beach: Great Fishing Inshore and Near-shore
It was still choppy nicely offshore on Tuesday, so Frank Barry, brothers Tim and Zack Rivera, and friend, Steve Flower, decided to remain inshore and fish the Estero Bay flats, with reside shrimp. The group broke my prior file by two on the number of redfish caught in 1 morning: 20-two in all! Only a single of these was legal to maintain, at 19 1/two inches, so we released the relaxation, along with crevalle jack, ladyfish, a small founder and a twenty-pound stingray. We also caught several keeper sheepshead, all about 15 inches, and we launched some scaled-down sheepshead.
However seas were forecast before in the week to be calming down by Wednesday, such wasnt the circumstance as of the early morning forecast that day. The winds continued to blow rather challenging, and Rob & Tracy Wessels , their son, Tanner, and their daughter, Maddie, made the decision to fish the backwaters, on my recommendation. The household caught 50 percent a dozen redfish, 1 of which was a keeper at 19 inches. They also caught two keeper sheepshead. They released 8 smaller sheepshead, an eighteen-inch gafftop sailcat, and four stingray, the greatest of which was 18-to-twenty lbs.
I completed off my pre-vacation week with a backwaters journey with Bob Potts and son, Trevor, Friday morning, twelve/23/11. We fished the channel down towards Wiggins Pass, making use of dwell shrimp. We caught and released a twenty-inch sea trout (sea trout are presently out-of-time of year.) The duo also caught two great sheepshead, fifteen inches and 17 inches, and they released twenty-five smaller sheepshead. They also caught two 16-inch pompano.
Tuesday morning, twelve/27, just forward of a cold-front’s approach, I fished Estero Bay with long-time buyers, the Tomlinsons. Vince and Jenny, along with their son and daughter, Mike and Katie, had fun catching a lot of sheepshead on reside shrimp. Most ended up smaller sized than keeper size and were introduced, but the household kept 1 13-inch sheepshead to go with a 15-inch whiting they caught, for supper. Vince also caught a nice, 17-inch trout, which had to be released, since trout are out of period for an additional number of days. The household also unveiled some massive sailcats, little snapper, and a 16-inch crevalle jack.
Wednesday morning started chilly, with about 48 degrees and a stiff wind. But, prolonged-time consumers Steve Spitzer and Jalissa Reever braved the chill to fish in Estero Bay with me. Jalissa also brought her son, Joe Tusing, along. The tide was dead-very low most of the morning, but the journey did properly anyways, utilizing dwell shrimp to catch several keeper sheepshead, all in the 14-to-15-inch array, as well as a 16 ½-inch black drum and a twenty-inch, keeper redfish. They launched a lot of scaled-down sheepshead, along with a puffer fish, a 6-pound crevalle jack, and a 20 ½-inch trout. Lets hope these good trout stick close to for the opening of trout time of year on January 1st.
Thursday, I fished inshore once again, this time with Len Salefia and pal, Jim. We caught plenty of sheepshead to 17 ½ inches, two redfish, which includes 1 eighteen ½-inch keeper, and a 19-inch black drum, all on shrimp. The men kept the largest sheepshead and the black drum for a fish supper, and unveiled the relaxation.
Friday morning, seas had been ultimately serene ample to get out to the near-shore reefs. I did so with Dick Driscoll, his son, Abundant Driscoll, and grandson, Jack. They ended up joined by friend, Steve Calhoun and his two youthful daughters, Emma and Sadie. The group utilized reside shrimp to catch two keeper pompano, thirteen inches and 14 inches, three keeper sheepshead to 16 ½ inches, and a keeper flounder. They introduced a lot of more compact sheepshead, along with lots of Atlantic barbs.
The new year commenced with predictions for an approaching cold-front in reality, my offshore excursion for Monday, one/2/12 canceled, due to tiny craft advisories and questionable timing on the fronts arrival that early morning. And Tuesdays predicted reduced temp of 34 degrees scared my Tuesday journey into rescheduling for Friday, 1/six. But well do our finest to fish every time we can this coming week! Pleased New Year to all!
The picture proven is of angler, Joe Tusing, with a 20 ½-inch trout, caught on shrimp and introduced in Estero Bay on an inshore fishing journey the closing days of 2011. Had this trout been caught two days afterwards, trout time would have been re-opened and it would have gone in the fish cooler as an alternative of back into the bay!

"Today’s Stream Report" | OIFC World Cat / Carolina Cat | twelve/29/eleven
The problems this early morning have been excellent as we arrived to the a hundred/400 with flat relaxed seas and drinking water temps of 73-74 degrees- evidently the fish did not get the memo? We set out and after about twenty minutes a weighted line was taken and we were hooked up. John Richardson Sr. went to work and soon after a challenging fought battle, landed a 40.5 pound Wahoo. The day was youthful and points have been hunting up. From there even so, the action go Sluggish. We caught very a few modest Untrue Albacore on the tuna feathers I had set on the prolonged riggers and we pulled off a very good Wahoo bite, but by noon I was struggling for answers. I built my way to the Black Jack hole which was now vacant as all the boats that commenced there in the AM had moved on to the Steeples. The winds had selected up to 15kts or much better and the sharp two-4 foot chop made trolling a bit tougher. As I pulled down "main street" I seen a slick on the water and made a flip, passing downwind and catching the unmistakable scent of fish. As I circled back into the sea the prolonged rigger feather was taken and this time by a good fish. John Jr. went to work and following a tense boatside "tuna type" battle, he brought a great Blackfin aboard. It was the fourth quarter and we had been in rally mode. But it was finding fairly sloppy. We set once more and created one more pass up main street and just as I achieved the leading end the planer rod went off and we stayed connected to an apparent substantial-velocity Wahoo. John Jr. once more did the honors and angled a 39.six pound Wahoo to the gaff. Now we ended up relocating in the right route. We had about thirty far more minutes to fish, and one particular more great fish would put the ledger back again in our favor. One more pass up primary street and the planer rod yet again went off, this time nevertheless it was the oh too familiar screaming reel adopted by unexpected silence- pulled hooks. Arghhh! We reset and fished a bit extended, but did not get one more shot. We ended up with two nice Hoos and a Blackfin – I assume we had in total seven-8 solid Wahoo bites, which is fairly steady with my .300 Wahoo batting common. The Richardsons were great sports activities and they never lost hope and stayed assured. It was a great day of mediocre fishing that at minimum ended on a relative up be aware. Not sure what it translates to for 2012, but I am sure its my final offshore trip of the calendar year.
It was wonderful to see very a number of other fishermen on the water in the Stream as properly. The action for absolutely everyone appeared fairly steady, with the Steeples sounding like the very best, albeit not sizzling.
I want absolutely everyone a Content New Year and hope to see much more of you on the water far more often in 2012- make it a resolution- GO FISH !

Saying goodbye to one of our brightest stars!
Saying goodbye to one of our brightest stars! Our AJ (Alan Jr) was Captain Alan Collins son!
A J Collins Jr
February 15, 1987- December 25, 2011
The first time that I met AJ also known by me as Alan Collins, JR I knew I was going like him. He had a wonderful smile and plenty enough of a southern gentlemen up bringing. When AJ answered a question there was always a no maam or yes maam attached to it.
I came to know AJ through his father Captain Alan Collins that works with us over here at Miss Judy Charters. His father loved and adored his son that looked so much like him. I will have to admit AJ was a good looking man for sure. On more than a couple of occasions AJ would accompany his father on a charter trip. It used to make me smile to see them together being that I fished with my father too!! I always thought it was a very good thing for their relationship even though that deal was sealed many years ago.
Alan and AJ Jr spent a lot of time together just going fishing. Heck, Alan even had custom rods made for him and AJ. Believe me these rods were only used by them when they would go fishing. I loved the way that AJ always caught the biggest fish even when he didnt! My father would have called AJ a CARD, which meant one heck of a cool guy!
I got to tell you when AJ drove down my driveway I knew it before he arrived. I could tell by the roar of his cars engine. It might have been a compact type vehicle, but it certainly did not run much less sound like one. AJ would always be doing something to that car to either make it faster or just plain louder!! Boy, I am going to miss that car coming down my driveway!
One day while sitting on the dock AJ and I had a wonderful conversation. It was all about fishing and the wonderful times that he had with his father. I would always laugh at him, because AJ would say, You know I can fish better than him on any old day!! And Then I would say, Where did you learn to fish? AJ would then smile that smile that everyone loved so much. Then he said, If I ever get the chance can I come and fish with your company? And of course I replied Heck yah especially since you are better than your father! We both laughed and I would pat him on his back and say Any time, just let me know!
Although AJ had to leave us much too soon I have to believe in my heart that the fisherman upstairs has a plan! He will be missed by far more people than anyone would expect for such a young man. I am among those that will miss AJ Alan Collins JR the most!! Captain Judy Helmey

Surf Report
Still not a thing to report maybe next year!!
Inshore and offshore shorts!
First fishing report for 2012
This is a nice striped bass, which was caught while using live shrimp under a traditional adjustable float.
Inshore and offshore shorts!
First fishing report for 2012
Well this is the first fishing report for 2012 and heres what happening For inshore a few striped bass are being caught in the Savannah River. The red fish bite has been off one day and on the next. A few spotted sea trout are being caught on live shrimp. As far as offshore the artificial reefs are holding some nice Sheepshead, black drum, and flounder. Sounds to me like the fish are starting the 2012 fishing season off just right!
Spotted Sea Trout
Secrets to getting that slow to go cold water bite!
With water temperature dipping into the mid fifties it is more than likely that the spotted sea trout have gone into their winter time hibernation mode. When the water gets cold spotted sea trout go into their burrowing mode. This is where the fish finds a suitable it its likely a suitable deep hole or ledge and basically lays belly down on the bottom. Since most of what we have on the bottom is mud it plays a plus in regards to a trout trying to anchor itself.
When a trout finds where its going to winter it basically lays on the bottom and wiggles back and forth until there is some sort of suction. The suction is created when the trout belly sinks more into the mud. Once the suction process has taken place the spotted sea trout can then just lay their without floating away. I guess you could say, The trout anchors itself! The fish may or may not for some time. However, if something happens by they just might make an eating pass at it.
Now heres where you the fishermen comes in
If you know of such a hole where you think that would hold the interest of hibernating trout I suggest giving these suggestions a try. First thing is you can forget any sort of normally hit, because nine times out of ten this is not going to happen. However, this what can happen if you try using 4 to 8 pound test main line and small freshwater jigs rigged with screw tails or grubs. The secret to catching is you have to work the lure really slow meaning cast into the hole, let it fall to the bottom, and turn the reel handle one revolution slowly one time. After this just wait and dont do anything for a few minutes then turn the reel handle again and wait. Its a process to catch a trout that is basically sleeping. However, I have seen many a nice trout being caught out of a deep hole in the creeks, rivers, and sounds.
Three Red fish tagged at the artificial reefs
Ken Marharaj holding with one of his three tagged red fish! Along with Captain Judy Helmey
Artificial Reefs
Friday December 23, 2011 Ken Maharaj, his son Justin, Glenn Kurban, and Larry Lambert
While plain old bottom fishing at the artificial reefs we this group has a pretty interesting fish day. With offshore water temperatures dropping to the mid fifties it would seem that the black fish population would have moved out to deeper water. However, for some reason these fish are still here eating anything that they can find.
Normally during this time we offshore fishermen get a pretty good chance at catching some very nice Sheepshead, black drum, and flounder. During this time of the year the red fish move offshore. They vary in sizes to 22 to 42 inches. This is a great time to do a little red fish tagging, which really can add lots of bragging rights to a fishermans day.
Just about every fish that we caught was pack full with glass minnows. We kept seeing the seabirds diving and now we know what this was all about!!
First red fish tagged
On this particular day the water was very calm offshore. There was a little scattered light rain, which only lasted for a few minutes. You know the kind of rain that really doesnt stop the fishermen from fishing. On my first drop I hung nicely on the Olympic Barge located at the KC artificial reef. This barge has been known for its Sheepshead attracting appeal. So I felt pretty good about catching some nice Sheepshead. However, on our first drop we all hooked up with a nice black sea bass. On our second, third, fourth, fifth, and so on we found ourselves catching some of the largest sea bass that I have seen in years. Then all of sudden we stop catching black sea bass. It was then my though that now would be the time that we would be catching some Sheepshead. Well, we didnt catch any Sheepshead. However, Ken got hooked up and we all knew from the way the fish was acting this was no black sea bass. Just before Ken hooked up I had taken a glance at my fish finder. I now was marking individual fish down under. Since we were fishing with very light tackle it took a few runs before the fish got a little tried. We all had pretty much figured out that this must be a nice red fish, which it was. While Ken was working the fish I got the tag and tape measure ready. As soon as we netted the fish, it was put on the deck, and I carefully set the tag. As soon as that deal was done I then measured the fish, which ended up being 26 inches.
Larry Lambert holding a nice black sea bass and Captain Judy
Second red fish tagged
After that excitement Ken baited up and back in the water his line went. I looked at fish finder and I was still marking individual fish on the screen. After a few small black fish, Ken hooked up again, but this time he knew for a fact it was a red fish. I began getting ready so that I could quickly go through the tagging and measuring process. As soon as Ken brought this fish to the surface we netted and brought it on board. I tagged and measured it. This red fish was 22 inches. It was successfully tagged and release healthy.
Third red fish tagged
Once again Ken baited his hook and as soon as he got on the bottom he caught small black fish. We took it off his hook, baited up yet another fiddler, and out he went. Sure enough it was, but about 10 minutes when Ken said, I have got another red fish hooked up! Before I could catch myself I said, You are kidding, right? Ken was not kidding he really did have another red fish on. However, he said, This one is the smallest red fish so far! Sure enough his third tagged fish measured in at 21 inches.
Ken holding the first red fish tagged, which measured in at 26 inches.
I can truthfully say, I have never tagged three red fish on the same fish day with the same fishermen! Ken you are in!! And Congratulations!!
Blue water fishing report
Captain Tommy Williams is holding up a nice Wahoo, which was caught on Friday December 16, 2011 with the NOFC crew. At his feet are black fin tuna, dolphin, and king mackerel. It was a heck of a blue water fish catching day!
December 18, 2011 Sunday
Captain Scott Abernathy, Frank Scarborough, and crew on board Dr. Feelgood!
According to this blue water report they caught some fish, but the crew had to brave rough sea conditions sometimes topping out to 5 to 7 Foot Seas. On the way out they had a northeast winds ,which slowed the heading to the South ledge down to about 16 knots, which under normal conditions Dr. Feelgood cruises at 22 to 23 knots. As if this wasnt enough the winds turned to the west for the ride home and what normally takes three hours took five hours. Captain Scott said, For five hours he had water over the helm! So now that you know this crew wanted to really go fishing heres what they caught..
This is an old photo of a blue fin tuna that was hooked up and landed while trolling off the coast of Savannah. It was caught about the same time of the year.
Blue Fin Hook Up Or Not!
While trolling the south ledges they caught one Wahoo and had a couple of cut offs. Then it was decided to make way inshore to the Naval Tower and give it a pass or two. And this is where it got real exciting. They hooked up a very big fish that took quite a bit of line. After clearing the other lines they concentrated on the fish that they had hooked up. After 20 minutes the fish, which never stopped taking line finally pulled the hook. Now heres the rub .Captain Scott said, It just might have been a big blue fin tuna! And he ought to know he has been there before!!
What I know about blue fin tuna off Savannahs coast!
Normally if we have any sort of blue fin tuna run I start getting reports of sightings from December till about mid March. Over years these reports have been from fishermen that would know when they see a blue fin jump or when they have one on the line. So therefore this could be the beginning of our 2011 blue fin tuna run!
I would have to say its now time to consider
Tuna Permit or not!!
Please find listed below web sites where you can get information on whether or not you need to have an Atlantic tunas permit. Other fish are included in this permit. Please read information so that you will know!

How to report a right whale sighting!
When the crew on DR. Feelgood got about two miles from the Wassaw Sea Buoy they observed two right whales flopping on the surface.
If you happen to see a right whale on the surface steer clear its suggested to steer clear of the area.

Upcoming Bluefin Trips
Im fascinated in scheduling as a lot of bluefin trips as achievable from 1/14 by way of the thirty day period of February and into the first few of weeks of March as theyve been accessible for the very last few of years in good quantities for the duration of this period of time.
More particularly, at this stage Ive got 2 people who want to fish possibly 2/21 or 2/22 dependent on the climate and need at minimum two much more.
The rest of the dates are broad open up.
If the spirit moves you give me a shout.
Notice: If youre exciting in fishing on a saturday and sunday I suggest you phone quicker vs. later on as the weekends are likely to fill up swiftly once reviews of fish start filtering in. -)

Fishin with Capt. Gus! Great Fishing 1-1-12
Excellent Fishing
one-one-twelve
What a difference a few many years make. It wasnt that extended in the past when a fishing excursion on Lake Norman was just that a fishing excursion. Catching fish was yet another point. It was so bad that savvy anglers selected to go to Lake Wylie, High Rock and Lake Murray exactly where the fish have been bigger and more plentiful. In truth, disgruntled anglers nicknamed Lake Norman The Lifeless Sea.
At the flip of the century, Lake Normans fishing fortunes turned far better with the introduction of noticed bass, a member of the black bass loved ones. They tailored swiftly to Normans deep-water habitat and just before anyone understood it, there was resurgence in bass fishing. The once Dead Sea quick became a Mecca for tournament bass anglers who appreciate matching wits with the feisty spotted bass.
How white perch arrived to the lake is a mystery, but like the noticed bass, they have become so plentiful that they are straightforward to catch in big numbers. White perch feed on the very same baitfish colleges as noticed bass, so far more times than not, when you track down a single, the other will be feeding in the exact same place. The introduction of spotted bass and white perch, mixed with a recovering crappie population, has arrive a lengthy way towards sharpening Normans as soon as tarnished fishing picture.
To make issues even better, anglers in October 2011 began catching 8 to 10 inch hybrid striped bass. The hybrid grows quickly and exceeds ten kilos in body weight in some area lakes. This deep- h2o fish is the perfect match for Lake Normans very very hot summer time drinking water temperatures and very low amounts of dissolved oxygen. Hybrids are known for their tackle busting tenacity, and increase rapidly to the minimum creel measurement restrict of sixteen inches.
Herring, a forage fish, ended up planted to health supplement the lakes fragile threadfin shad population. It was at first thought that herring would be just what the mismanaged striped bass fishery needed.

Sizzling Spots of the Week: For anglers challenging sufficient to weather conditions the chilly, bass, white perch, crappie and occasional stripers can be caught. Noticed bass are in main creeks, some along the banks, but the large colleges are feeding in the deeper areas of coves and alongside the edges of river and creek channels. Colder drinking water temperatures have also pushed crappie and white perch to deeper drinking water. Look for them at the 30 to forty-5 foot mark. Best bets for noticed bass are the coves and finger channels that feed into McCrary and Reed Creeks.
Lake Norman water temperatures are in the fifties and the lake stage is about two.0′ below entire pond. Mountain Island Lake is about 3.0 underneath complete pond.
