Fishing with Capt. Gus!
Soaring Lake Ranges
twelve-11-11
Soon after numerous months of very low drinking water circumstances, recent rains have caused water ranges on Lake Norman to rise well above targeted amounts for December. Large h2o, while as well late for the 2011 boating time, can make catching fish simpler, specifically largemouth and spotted bass.
The very low lake water levels skilled in September and Oct, pressured bass to leave the shoreline and locate cover in deep drinking water. Conversely, as drinking water amounts rise, bass return to the identical covered rocks, downed trees and stump fields that they frequented in the spring. Savvy anglers manufactured notes although the lake was low and marked new spots on their GPS units and topographic paper maps.
Shallow h2o bass are easy to tempt with top rated h2o lures. Spinner and buzz baits are well-known with nearby anglers, but floating worms, swim and jerk baits also have their time and place. When baitfish colleges are observed swimming on the area, a tiny popping or stick bait often triggers explosive strikes.
Higher drinking water is a boom to dock fishermen. Any kid will tell you that there are far more fish all around their dock when the water is deeper. Unless of course bass are area feeding, the very best way to appeal to dock bass is to bobber fish with dwell minnows. Several rods increase your possibilities of catching several fish. Be really sure the rods are secured in the rod holders with the drag set instead lightly. Or else, a huge a single might break the line or pull a rod into the lake.
To examine lake ranges get in touch with one-800-829-5253 or pay a visit to: http://www.duke-energy.com/lakes/amounts.asp .Lake amounts are current each 20 minutes.
Suggestions from Capt. Gus:
No matter of bait preference, the forage fish (shad/herring) in Lake Norman operate modest, so in order to match the hatch so to talk, use smallish baits. Tiny lures will catch even large fish, whilst often huge baits are ignored and cant be swallowed by little fish
Approaching Events:
A free of charge risk-free boating class on How to Navigate Norman when the Lake is Low will be held at North Point Watersports, 112 Doolie Highway, Mooresville, NC 28117 on Wednesday, December fourteen, 2011 from six:thirty – 8:00 p.m. Topics for discussion will consist of Understanding Lake Normans Channel Marker and Buoy System, Identifying and Studying How to Steer clear of the Ten Most Hazardous Spots, and Safely Navigating In Lower Drinking water Conditions. For a lot more details, phone me @ 704-617-6812 or e mail Gus@LakeNoman.com.
Very hot Spots of the Week:
Fishing for noticed bass is outstanding, as it has been for numerous weeks. Swim baits, bottom bumping shaky heads and crank baits fished in the vicinity of factors, humps and about dock pilings are good spots to forged. White colored perch, are hitting tiny items of cut bait, crappie minnows and modest lures and jigs. Try out fishing slender coves, in which the h2o is twenty to forty feet deep. Crappie fishing is outstanding for these fishing minnows close to boathouses, submerged bush and bridge pilings. For more substantial crappie, try out Mountain, Small and Hagers Creeks.
Lake Normans drinking water level is about 1.3′ from entire pond and down three.3′ on Mountain Island Lake. The waters surface area temperature is in the fifties and low sixties.

South Florida Ft Lauderdale report for Happy Day Today
With favorable winds out of the east northeast at ten-15 mph, blue waters nevertheless pushed in for the previous five days on the 2nd reef and Sailfish action nevertheless excellent, the anglers choice was to catch Mahi Mahis. As we acquired close to the sea buoy off of Fortin Lauderdale that sits in 120 ft. of drinking water. We started out fishing with the two deep lines which run about forty to 50 ft deep. The 2nd set of lines had been the out riggers, we use four Ballyhoos and the center rigger. The deep lines have both a silver 3 drone spoon and we also use a Sea Witch with a strip of Bonito as bait. On the bridge of the charter boat Happy Day Today, Captain Tommy is fishing two teasers, each are Pakula lures (with no hooks).
I headed to 1 of the synthetic wrecks that sit in 350 ft. of water north of Fortin Lauderdale FL. Our initial bite was from the right rigger and was a wonderful Black Bout Tuna. I held circling the wreck, picking away at a lot more Black Bout Tunas. I could see off in the distance a slick on the h2o. A great time to mention whether fishing on our charter boat or your private boat out of Fortin Lauderdale, a slick is normally a good area to fish. Simply because a slick has oil from fish that have been previously consumed (bait fish) by predatory fish and this is where the Mahi and Wahoo are feeding. As Mitch and I received nearer to the sargassum weeds and the slick, I could see a few of birds doing work the location, which is one more great indication of predatory fish.
All of a sudden, Mahi Mahi on the correct long rigger!!! Captain Pat introduced it the first Mahi Mahi of the day, adopted by all the rest of the captains using turns and catching a lot more Mahi Mahis. The center rigger came down, the line screamed off the reel, and I yelled down, We have a very good 1. For this fish, we cleared all the fishing lines. Captain Lou was the angler on this a single. Ultimately the fish jumped out of the drinking water and it looked like a postage stamp out in the distance. It is a Mahi Mahi and a Big One. 20-5 minutes later Captain Lou brought the bull Mahi Mahi to the aspect of the boat on thirty lb. exam line. With the Mahi Mahi in the boat, photographs ended up flying we had been all surprised by the bulls dimensions and elegance he weighed in at 38 lbs.
The charter Happy Day Today thanks the men from Ontario, Ottawa for a wonderful offshore fishing charter out of Ft. Lauderdale.

A Really Wonderful Reduced-sixty Diploma DAY WITH Several SHALLOW LARGEMOUTH BASS
ON ALABAMA’S LAY LAKE
I fulfilled a few of younger brothers (youthful, when compared with me!) at Beeswax creek at mid-Lay lake close to dawn on a calme early morning in the lower-30’s. We will just get in touch with them Mike and Al. Mike was right here browsing his brother Al that lived south of Birmingham and Al mentioned he fished the Warrior River reservoir, Bankhead Lake regularly, exactly where I grew up fishing as properly. Mike was here just passing by way of. He was shifting from North Carolina to Florida and he was in the service.
They ended up the two right here to catch some Coosa River breed of spotted bass, it’s possible even fool a largemouth bass or two and potentially luck up into a huge, striped bass!
All 3 of these bass species thrive in Lay lake from its headwaters, to mid lake and these bass exist all the way down to the reduced Lay lake dam region. From dam to dam (about fifty miles) on Lay lake these three bass species are now continuously feeding and fattening up for the winter season months ahead. We hoped to interrupt their feeding and catch a couple of bass, with our pretend offerings.
As I slowly idled the boat out of Beeswax Creek (as the dawn of an additional lovely day commenced), I donned my toboggan, gloves and a heavy coat. They each looked over at me with a significant appear on their faces and then we all well prepared for the calme early morning boat trip. I promised to keep it below 60 m.p.h.!
The heat morning sun felt good, as it beamed down on our now fifty percent-frozen faces, as we arrived at our very first location of the day.
A major feeder creek — beaming with the morning fog — welcomed us, as its really very first visitors of the day. It was loaded with all kinds of aquatic weeds, boulders and guy manufactured rip- rap rocks, plenty of fish-attracting wooden go over like stumps, trees, brush piles, laying logs and it had visible signs of bait fish.
This creek had great, deep depths of 10 feet or much more, for harboring those massive, wintertime bass that could retreat to deeper h2o in the course of adverse problems. It had plenty of a lot less-deeper h2o, that in that 1-3 foot range, loaded with all types of aquatic weeds and wooden cover. From around 30 a long time of knowledge fishing this a single creek alone, I realized it also has some massive bass, on about any morning. As I informed Mike and Al, whilst I decreased the trolling motor in the drinking water and then poured myself a extremely welcome heat cup of coffee.
So their hopes ended up high as we began to deceifer every and each and every possible bass-keeping spot in that creek. The water temperature was 53 degrees at dawn.
Hopefully, this location with above a mile of weedy waters was excellent ample for a minimum a couple of bites, just to start off the relatively awesome early morning, appropriate. But the quite cold evening had dropped the drinking water temperature around 10 degrees, from the day ahead of, making "bass lock jaw" on the typically, a lot much better early early morning bite, in this creek.
It was a very slow start off for our day, with no bites in the first two hrs of dawn! I understood there had been bass here, even though we had attempted every single kind of open up water lure and different weed less lures to, but all to no avail. So I had to make a determination. Leave this creek and go up the lake? Or go down the lake? From current encounter and seeing some good bass caught mainly down the lake in a lot clearer drinking water situations, I pointed that Ranger Z Bass Boat south. It turned out to be a very good transfer.
Lay Lake has the Coosa River breed of spotted bass discovered lake extensive, from the lake’s headwaters to the lower lake’s dam. It can also have some really shallow largemouth bass on days when you minimum assume it. Like nowadays! Frequently, whilst fishing in temperatures in the lower-to-mid 70’s for the duration of 1 of December’s sudden winter season warming tendencies an angler can fool plenty of shallow bass. But when its chilly in the morning’s initial few hrs, items alter. So an angler ought to adjust his/her tactics to productively catch bass!
There ended up numerous kinds of lures that created all of the bass Mike and Al caught that day. As a matter of fact, they could have fished three-4 sorts of lures only, on this great, slow, but at some point successful sunny day, that grew to become some extremely comfy climate, like quick sleeves! Then, that evening it grew to become a, "partly cloudy day" real fast! Yet another rainy front was relocating in, the barometer was falling, it received true cloudy and windy and then… the bass commenced to bite!
Of program then Mike and Al managed to fool a few quite wonderful (and fat) three-four pound largemouth bass fishing with lures like a Zoom’s white trick worm, an oversized 5/8ths ounce chartreuse and white gold-bladed spinnerbait, a Rapala chrome/blue back again Rattlin’ Rap and a Strike King one/2 ounce shad-coloured Red Eye Shad (equally lipless lures), mainly fished in 1-four ft of drinking water! They fooled these shallow bass, mostly in and close to the grass. Although a spot and 1 striped bass came on the Red Eye Shad!
The air temps that morning at dawn was in the 30’s, with drinking water temps in the low-50’s. The air temp was shut to 60 degrees by midday and drinking water temps (in which we fished) was close to 60 degrees, as the approaching rainy front arrived that evening. It was well really worth the boat trip, running a number of miles down the lake, as we did locate some cooperating bass, and on this day, 1 nice striped bass and our largest largemouth bass was about four pounds!
Of course, as we launched the boat that morning we have been all by yourself on the lake as properly. But it turned out to be a relatively great day, size-clever! Not a great deal of bass bites but these that did bite had been "well appreciated" although I once once more enjoyed fishing with pleasurable business, on just one more day on Alabama’s Lay lake fishing with Reeds Guide Service!
* Pictures – As you can see (if there is a photograph with this write-up, if not, see it on my website’s Lay lake and other reports www.fishingalabama.com)
When these two anglers arrived in, their day was comprehensive with lots of brotherly smiles and some nice largemouth bass images I took! All although fishing Lay lake’s weeds, wooden go over and rock cover on a calme, but what turned out, to be a extremely great day!

JUST DO IT!
If you want to keep catching these ..join the Recreational Fishing Alliance NOW!!
Captain Kathy Brown of Miss Judy Charters is holding up a nice size amberjack, which was caught at the Savannah Snapper banks. The amberjack sometimes referred to as the reef donkeys are very strong fighters. The fight starts at the first run and it doesnt stop until the fish is landed. The term reef donkeys came about when it was decided that if you found a ledge with amberjack schooling in the upper water column you chances for getting to bottom without hooking up is very slim. In most cases this is a very good thing!!

Inshore fishing reports Flounder Pounders!
Even though the water temperatures have dropped inshore fishermen are still catching some nice flounder. The secret to getting this fishs attention is to use some sort of live bait such as shrimp, finger mullet, or mud minnows. Put this bait on the bottom and wait until the cows or should I say fish come home!!
Captain Alan Collins of Miss Judy Charters catches and tags a lot of red fish!!
When the water gets colder the old red fish moves a little slow. I suggest looking for this fish in areas that the dolphins cant get too. Places like the flooded marsh areas are great places for a red fish to feed. The secret is to get there before them.
The Toothy Wonder strikes again!
Dr. Brad Durham of Savannah, Georgia also known as The toothy wonder had a great inshore fishing day. His guest was Captain Alan Collins of Miss Judy Charters. As you can see from the picture they kept two nice flounder and 10 spotted sea trout. Now heres what you need to know this is only what they kept not what they caught! Now you know the rest of the fish catching story!!
Stripers and wipers

For those fishermen that like to fish cold waters your chances for catching stripers and wipers is a good one. The Savannah and Ogeechee Rivers are the best places to do a little scouting. The best baits can be anything from a buck tail jig to a live shrimp. To find a school of feeding fish I suggest that you let the diving birds be you guide!!
Its time to on board!
Jelly fish and their friends
This moon jelly fish is really a floating cover for hundreds of small fish and shrimp. I know this isnt a great picture, but I think you can see what I am talking about. It truly is amazing how shrimp, fish, and crabs ride with the jelly fish. I guess you could say, This is how the small fish get where they are going without getting eaten by the bigger ones!
Artificial Reefs
What are those that decide the faith of our fisheries doing?
Captain Kathy Brown of Miss Judy Charters is holding up a nice black sea bass, which was caught while using fiddler crabs as bait. However, if I used a piece of cloth it wouldnt have made any difference the black sea bass would have still bit my hook. Please know that the black sea bass season is closed and will not open until June 2012. The reason being is according to those that decide the faith of our fisheries have deemed that over fishing is occurring when it comes to black sea bass. Its is my opinion as well as the opinion of my customers that there are so many black fish that its really unbelievable. We run 4 hour offshore trips, which take an hour to get to the fishing drop, which boils down to 2 complete hours of fishing. We normally catch 100 to 150 black sea bass, which are always properly released.
Please meet the Jarvis family catchers and releasers of 263 black fish
On November 26, 2012 the Brooks family (party of six) caught and released 263 black sea bass in two hours. So far this is my 2 hour record black fish catch for 2012. Congratulations Jarvis Party!!
Trophy Red Fish at the artificial reefs

Savannah Snapper Banks
Grouper season will be closed January until May 1, 2012
I havent been in a while, but just so you will know 2011 grouper season will close on January 1, 2012 and will reopen on May 1 2012. It truly is an interesting trip to take especially for those of you that want to see some nice genuine red snapper up close and personal! I wish I could say when the red snapper fishery will open. We dont have a season for this fish. It was closed due to over fishing!!!
Blue Water Report
Making this run can certainly be interesting!
How many Mahi Mahi do you see in this picture? All of these dolphins have one thing in common they are definitely not in a feeding mode. The reason being is if they were their lights would be on! For those that dont understand what I am talking about heres the short version
When a dolphin also referred to as a Mahi Mahi get interested or start to feed all colors on this fish immediately show. As you can see in this photo these fish was all the standard color. However, as soon as these fish got interested the blue and yellow lights would have come on!
Blue water fishing
Its cold, but the Gulf Stream is running at around 78 degrees. Yes, its a long run, but you really never know what you might catch. The best news about this time of the year especially when it comes to the blue water bite is fish that are on the move are always hungry!

Little Miss Judys Believe It or Not!
Holiday Moonie Shine Recipe
According to my father the longer a moonshine tornado lasts in the jar the higher octane in regards to the contents. Once this mason jar of who knows what proof moonshine was spun around a few times this strong tornado appeared. However, if I went by my father tornado spinning equation I can only assume that this moonshine was close to 200 proof! My fathers granddaughter Cindy loves this stuff mixed with pink lemonade!!
Holiday Moonie Shine Recipe
I had a family on board the other day that came from a long line of Moonie shiners. In fact some of them had served short to long sentences in the big house for their unbelievable desires for making the drink. According to the said family none of this drink making was for sale. It was only for medicinal purposes. Im sure you remember the television show, The Beverly Hillbillys. This show had a member of the family whose name was Grannys. Doctor Granny used this so-called tonic for her special doctoring techniques. In fact while she was concocting her tonic she would be over come by all of the tasting. All of this tasting would often lead her to having to take lots of small afternoon siestas.
Back to the Fishing Charter
This particular family that charted my boat had a grandfather that spent time in the big house with Big Al Capone. The grandfather was in for bootlegging and we all know from our history books what Big Al was in for. The grandfather told his family that Big Al was no more than a Big Sissy behind bars. As we talked on the boat we all decided that it was only because he didnt have his Yes Men behind bars with him. This group being from a long line of Moonie Shiners shared parts of their secret recipe with me. A part of the recipe was fine with me. I didnt want to have anything that might get me put in the big house. As we talked, other parts of the family would put in their two cents worth. For instance, as soon as he started telling me about the main ingredient of oranges another stood up and said Over Ripen watermelons were better and easier to deal with. So therefore we started talking about watermelons. According to them you best bet for ripen watermelons is to go to the farmer market. Watermelon farmers are glad to sell you an over ripen truckload for $ 25.00. Now it also sounds like the farmer is part of this deal too. For the story sakes and the length that it could reach lets say the needed fruit to start the shine is obtained, which is a truckload of watermelons. You will need to get your machete and shovel out. After splitting the melon with the big knife use you shovel to dig the meat out. The meat of the melon then is put in a 35-gallon can. Once you fill this up with melon, add pounds of sugar, some yeast, and then top off with water. You then need to cover these put together ingredients and store in a well-ventilated place. When the word well-ventilated place was mentioned all looked at me and said, This is real important part of the process. Your so-called Mash must be able to breathe. I didnt ask, but I am sure that they meant that it might blow up if it was in a lock-down situation. As you can see this is a very dangerous. So I wouldnt be trying this at home much less anywhere else.
Another story popped up!
One of my customers said, Thats exactly how he got caught! He was letting his ingredients work and then it happened. The room in which he had it in blew right off the trailer that it was attached too! His wife was so mad that she turned him for moon shine making!!
According to the professionals after a certain amount of time, which could be days or weeks only the maker knows for sure the mash is ready for stage two. It is then poured into a stainless steal tub, better known as an old re-modified beer keg. Before the invention of stainless steel kegs just plain old copper or steel pots were used.
Other Mash Secrets
All concurred that mash had a visible way of showing you when it was done. It seems that when all ingredients are mixed together in this 35-gallon trash can the ingredients gets to working. By working, as they explained, bubbles start rising to the surface. In fact when the mash really starts working you can hear the bubbles popping on the surface. This process goes from a few bubbles to multiple bubbles. Supposedly when the bubbles stop the mash is consider done and ready to work with. Its still hard to believe that the hard stuff starts in this fashion!
Straining the Mash
Once they started talking about straining the mash I assumed that they would use a large colander, but I was wrong. They used panty hose. The fermented mash was poured into NEW, pair of panty hose. (Believe me I had to ask.) As the hose filled the liquid was drained off. This helped eliminated the core part of the watermelon. All they were interested in was the precious liquid.
Its time to really cook the liquid mash
Once the now liquid mash was poured into the keg the top was sealed with the exception of this little coiled copper tube that came out of the top of the keg. This is supposed to be where the liquid is to escape. Back in the old day they would just make a fire with hot coals. However, in the new times a gas burner did the trick of cooking this stuff. As it cooks the liquid escapes through the copper tubing. A pot or a so-called liquid catcher is placed under the opening of the tubing. Heres comes the technical part. I hope I got this information correct. You dont want the liquid to come out to fast, because if it does this means that the proof of your drink will be not good enough. There is a basic rhythm to the drop of the shine. According to the persons telling the story it takes years to get this pace down. At any rate they luckily had the basic secret information passed down from their long line of moonie shiner maker ancestors.
First Proof
Heres the fun part for the maker. As the liquid drains off the maker, which now becomes the tester has to be taste it periodically. The reason is a simple one. Once the liquid stop tasting like shine and starts tasting like water this is the sign that the cooking is over. The first cooking will probably yield at least 100 proof of so-called shine. However, to get it up a few notches you must run it throw the cooking process again. This only means more cooking, watching, and tasting. This second and probably third run though could yield up to 200 proof. This is also known a Pure Rocket Fuel! Any more processing and you might be putting yourself as well as your family and neighbors in harms way. According to the cooker two times is all you need, because youre drinking it not using it for demolition!
Checking the Results
The best way to do it is to pour some into a small bowl, light it up, and watch it burn off. The flame tells you all you need to know about your cooking abilities. According to the story, the bluer the flame the higher the proof. Now in my fathers case this would have been a problem, because he was color blind.
There were other little things that they shared that I am sure are real important to the proper making process. However, I wanted you to read about it NOT MAKE IT!
All this talk brings back old childhood memories. I probably could have made a killing if I had saved all of the copper tubing that daddy kept in the old black house. I really never thought about it until this story was shared with me. I though that daddy just allegedly helped Old Al transport the goods not make it! You know what they say about history repeating itself. I will let you know how it all turns out!
Thanks for reading! Captain Judy

Please help with my college thesis regarding the ABFT
My title is Daniel Foley and I am at the moment functioning on my senior thesis for Endicott College. My thesis statement is: What are the contributing factors to the decline in the Atlantic Bluefin Tuna population? I am an avid northeast fisherman and fascinated in preserving the Atlantic Bluefin Tuna. If you could just take this survey it would be significantly appreciated, it is just fifteen concerns and will consider a lot less than 5 minutes. Thank you for your time.
