Fishin’ With Capt. Gus! Locating Winter Fish January 8, 2012

Fishin’ With Capt. Gus!
Finding Winter months Fish
January 8, 2012

Attachment 211037
Austyn Petyan of Mt. Holly, NC keeping a Lake Norman striped bass caught on a vacation fishing excursion with brother Dustyn and father John.

An easy way to locate feeding fish in January is to watch for diving sea birds. They determine the exact places in which stripers, bass or white colored perch are chasing forage fish to the surface area. The feeder fish are squeezed by the predators from under and the birds from over. Surface feeding activity can end result in a memorable fishing excursion, but don’t assume it to happen each and every day.

When fish aren’t surface area feeding, they move deeper into the h2o column, in which temperatures are a number of degrees warmer. If in doubt, fish deeper. In addition to temperature things to consider, herring live in deep h2o. This forage fish is the 1 most sought after by the deep swimming stripers, spotted bass and white perch.

When fish are deep, your fish finder is valuable in assisting to track down them beneath the surface. Consistent surveillance of the display will at some point demonstrate their existence. When the “Fish ID Mode” is disabled, fish will look as arches. The thicker the arch, the larger the fish will be. A concentration of arches indicates that a school of fish is underneath the boat. Arches show up from time to time all through the h2o column, but pay specific interest to individuals demonstrated mid-way in the column. They generally reveal actively feeding and simple to catch fish.

Very cold h2o drives fish to the scorching water discharge channels of Lake Norman’s two energy vegetation. Sizzling hole fish can be caught by utilizing a multitude of fishing methods, such as tossing surface lures when fish are feeding on top rated. But, most of the time, are living baits, buck tails and spoons perform finest when fish are deep.

On sunny afternoons, large bass and stripers will sometimes cruise or not transfer at all in really shallow h2o. When that comes about, they are not there to feed but to warm their bodies from the heat produced by the rays of the sun, but can be tempted into biting.

Ideas from Capt. Gus: Regardless of how or wherever you fish in late winter season, be well prepared for chilly mornings and cold days, particularly when a climate front has just handed. Regulars, usually have a propane heater on board to warm moist hands and cold faces. Single, ambigu or triple heater heads are mounted atop twenty pound propane tanks. Other individuals use more compact catalytic heaters mounted on one pound disposable cylinders.

Very hot Spots of the Week: Diving seabirds are exhibiting the way to feeding bass, perch and stripers. Very best bets on the north stop of Lake Norman are Stumpy, Rocky and Hicks Creeks where surface area feeding takes place primarily in the early morning and on cloudy days. To the south, fishing is related in Mountain, Lucky and Reed Creeks. On sunny afternoons, bass are striking buzz baits on shallow stumpy factors and in the backs of coves. Perch and crappie fishing is really very good on tiny jigs, minnows fished more than deep brush and in open water on Sabiki rigs.

The surface drinking water temperature is in the forties and reduced fifties. The lake stage is about 2.5′ underneath total pond on Lake Norman. Mountain Island Lake is roughly three.0’ beneath full pond.

Surf Report

Still not a thing to report…

Attachment 211009

Spotted sea trout bite can be good, if…

During the cold water season the spotted sea trout can be good. However, before expecting serious catching results I suggest trying to fish after a few days of a warming trend. Best bait is always going to be live shrimp under small adjustable float. However, for those that can work a fluke rigged weed less this will be your best bait when worked slow-to-go!

Attachment 211010

Inshore fishing is good if….

As far as inshore fishing or should I say catching it’s good one day and not so the next! The secret is to pick sunny days where the tide is low during noon time. Then I suggest fishing the last half of the out going and the first half of the incoming. If that doesn’t work then I suggest stopping by the fish market on the way home!

Attachment 211011

Artificial reefs are holding lots of fish

During this time the artificial reefs are holding a lot of fish. The fish you can keep are Sheepshead, black drum, and flounder. The down side is the reefs are covered with black sea bass and this season is closed to keeping until June 1. The rule of thumb goes like this 30 to 1. This means you might catch up to 30 black sea bass before catching a fish that you can keep!! However, it’s all still a lot of fun!!

Welcome to Sheepshead-Ville with Dave Zelski!

Attachment 211012

Captain Judy is holding up Dave Zelski’s just caught Sheepshead. We were asked to do a show with Dave host of Georgia Travel on Georgia Public TV ..will keep you posted on date and time for the show.

The artificial reefs are now supporting the interest of some really nice size Sheepshead. The secret to getting this fish to take a bite is that you have to use the right bait. Best baits are going to be the ever popular purple back fiddler..please remember to hook this fish up you need to set the hook before the fish takes a bite!

Naval Towers

It was reported by Daniel that the crew while fishing on Wayne’s boat “Fin” had a pretty interesting catch. After trolling a bit for black fin it was decided to make a few jigging passes by Naval tower R 7. They rigged up with 20 pound class rod/reel class set up loaded with 65 pound test Power Pro. The rig used was made with 80 pound test swivel and 11/2 foot of single strand 80 pound test wire, which was attached to an 8 ounce diamond jig. This rig was then dropped to the bottom near the legs of the tower and worked right off the bottom. Two jigs got hooked up and a good fight was had by both fishermen. When they got their fish to surface they found that they had both caught a nice cobia. If I have said it once I have said it at least thousands of times and that’s “You really never know what you might catch much less when, when fishing in the ocean!”

Gulf Stream fishing

For those fishermen that have been waiting to do a little blue water fishing now is the time. The south ledge is holding the interest of some really nice black fin tuna. This is one fish that will hit pulled cedar plugs or rigged dink ballyhoo. The secret is to troll the ledge area, look for temperature breaks, and any surface feeding activity

Black tuna or not!!

Fishing the South Ledge!

Captain Little Tommy Williams reported two interesting blue water fishing experiences…

Friday December 30, 2011

On his first blue water trip with the crew of the “Double Daly” they had a very productive blue water catching day. After arriving to the South Ledge area lines were set and a trolling plan was devised. The water temperature on this day around and over the South Ledge was around 74 degrees. While working this area the crew caught 8 black fin tuna (15 to 20 pounds) and 1 fifteen pound dolphin were put in the cooler.

Black Fin Tuna Tips You Can Use!!

It’s a known fact that you can catch tuna in cooler water. However, it seems that whatever the tuna are feeding on at the time prefers the water temperature to be in the mid seventies. My father used to say, “There is a good reason why black fin feed in erratic short bursts. According to my father as the black fin feeds its body gets over heated. When their body gets over heated the fish have to return back temporarily to cooler depths. This is one reason why tuna are known for fast and strong feeding occurrences!!

Sunday January 1, 2012

On the next trip to the same area with another group Captain Little Tommy found an entire different scenario. While fishing with Frank Scarborough and crew on boat “Wide Open” the fishing or should I say the “catching was not the same!’ Once arriving at the South Ledge they found that the water temperature was a cool 67 degrees. With lines out they worked the area looking for any temperature breaks. All surface temperature was about the same, which fell into a cool mid sixties range. As they worked the area they caught Bonita after Bonita after Bonita.

When Captain Little Tommy Williams determined that there weren’t any warmer temperatures to be found it was decided to do a little jigging on the ledge. Once situated over the ledge jigs were dropped and fishermen immediately hooked up. When what was on the end was finally brought to the surface it turned out to be some really nice amberjack, which were caught, fought, and released.

Freshies Report

According to Bill Babb fishing is good year around in the Savannah River below Clarks Hill Dam when targeting bream. However, when its winter time they are called “brrrream!”

Little Miss Judy’s Believe it or not!

Parent’s Logic!!

Attachment 211015

Little Captain Judy with cap gun loaded, cowboy suit, hat, and boots! All this with the exception of a real pony!

Parent’s Logic

As a small child I always wanted a pony, but my father would never buy me one. It wasn’t because we didn’t have enough room, because we in fact had horse stables right on the property. His main reason for not letting me have a pony was because as he always said, “I would get run over by all of the traffic.” Boy, if he wanted to see traffic he ought to see it now. Back in the fifties on the Island when I was raised there wasn’t much traffic. So therefore I decided to do my own traffic count. In the mind of a seven year old it sounded like a good idea. I decided to lie in the road of which I did and count cars. I must have lain there a good hour before a car finally came by. Heck, I could have fallen asleep. At any rate, after I felt that my experiment was concluded I decided to go and tell daddy. I knew that he would be very proud of me. It turns out that daddy wasn’t so proud of me. In fact I was put on restriction for laying in the stupid no traffic traveled road.

When I wanted to go horseback riding he took me out to my Aunt Hattie’s farm, which was located on ever-busy highway 17. You must remember back in these old days super highway I-95 hadn’t even been thought of. As I got older I figured out that daddy either didn’t want to take care of a pony or he though I would get tired of one! He held stead fast with his decision and I never got my pony. However, I had a boat from the time that I was five years old! I guess according to my father drowning wasn’t an option in my case. However getting run over by the one car per hour that passed by our house was. I will never understand a parent’s logic!

South Carolina DNR electro fishing

Efficiently taking care of our fisheries in South Carolina calls for the DNR initial to see what is swimming about down there. An successful way to do this is a analysis tool called electro-fishing. In this movie, Lorianne goes out on Lake Oliphant with regional fisheries biologist Liz Osier to see how the samples are gathered, and what we can learn from them.

The saturday and sunday nevertheless seems great with temperatures in the upper 50&#8242s and probably breaking sixty degrees. Slow fishing nowadays. There are still a scattered speckled trout getting caught on the Buxton seashore. No boats out these days. There are a handful of boats likely offshore tomorrow hunting for the blue bout tuna that are heading down the coastline to pay a visit to us. They have been off the Virginia coastline recently and with the temperatures drop and some cooler drinking water shifting down this could be the start off of the bluefin season. Lets hope so.
