Live Line charters fishing report 7-3
Had Curtis Grant from Phoenix, AZ returned for far more NC off shore fishing with Eric and Joel. Went to the Gulf Stream searching for Mahi. Began in 120 feet with flying fish everywhere. Soon after a brief time period we had a modest Mahi on the brief flat line. Had good action in the early morning with fish every single 20 to thirty minutes. Joel caught the largest when a twenty Bull arrived in a crushed the quick spreader bar set up. We trolled out to the deep to try out out jigging for the Jacks. Joel caught a monster Almaco pushing 50 lbs. Following a couple of triple headers the men had sufficient and we went searching for some Grouper for dinner. Had 3 good Scamps right after a handful of drops on some inshore ledges. The afternoon bite slowed yet again (appears to be a pattern these days). The SW winds kicked up for the bumpy/moist experience home.

Little Miss Judy Believe It or Not! Bait fit for a king!!
Shrimp are here!
More shrimp are showing up in the creeks and rivers! And to add to this already great bait scenario there is also plenty of perfect size finger mullet. Most all fish like finger mullet and shrimp!!!
Red bump nose!
Attachment 195166
This is a mullet that has developed what I call red bump nose! It seems and it has been proven that mullet with red bump nose might get a pass by a red fish. However, there are circumstances to this last statement. If you dont have a choice and all your mullet have the red thing going on then use them they will work! But if you do have choices go with baits that dont and cut these red bump nose mullet up like a loaf of bread. They make great steak baits and red fish do like the taste and smell of fish steaks.
How do the mullet get red bump nose? By trying to jump free from the live tank. If you happen to have a live well with a clear cover I suggest making sure that you cover it up with a dark towel. The reason being is if you dont the mullet will continuously bump the cover until they get RED BUMP NOSE! I must add I had a child on my boat one day that called them Mullet the Rudolph red nose!
Red Fish like their steaks on the rare side!
Red fish can be found on the beach fronts, in the sounds, and hanging around rips! I suggest taking a sight seeing trip, but whatever you do dont forget to take some real bait or artificial lures. Heres another suggestion: If you cant get the red fish to take a lure or hit that live shrimp or finger mullet. I suggest cutting the mullet up like a loaf of bread and putting a steak slice on the hook. Then I would just cast bait into place and let it sit! This new fresh dead scent gets them every time!!
Spotted Sea Trout and their friends!
Photo by Captain Matt Williams
This is one great photo that was taken my Captain Matt Williams. Its the front half of a nice sea trout, the hook that caught it, and the bait that brought it to its faith.
Spotted sea trout and flounder time!
The trout flounder bite has been good, but its all about timing. I call it a moving clear water event!! Its hot and in some cases its though by fishermen that the catching is slow. Well, as fishing goes in some cases that might be true. However, a fish has got to eat and once you get in their strike zone bites are going to happen.
Lets take a dip with Walts tip!
Please meet Walt Davis
You know I love getting presents in the mail! Walt sent me a bottle of Garlic dip-n-glow and I cant wait to give it a try!! Thanks Walt!
According to Walt the secret is definitely in the sauce.
While fishing for spotted sea trout on the Gulf flats out of St. Marks, Florida Walt took to doing a little dipping. While fishing with Gulp new penny shrimp he dipped the tail in the Garlic-dip-n-glow formula, which made a hit with the fish. Walt made an astounding discovery and he did it the old fashion way. He fished baits with and without the dip-n-glow. The out come was undeniable. The spotted sea trout preferred ten to one the dipped bait over the one that was not. I suggest heading over to Bass Pro and purchasing some of this proven sauce. The best news for me is that I can spend more time fishing and less time for shopping! Thanks to Walt I already have some!!
Sounds and beach front report
The shrimp boats are back and so are the fish that follow them. This is that time of year where we fishermen get the chance of a life time! I am talking about getting an opportunity to catch what is following down under behind the old shrimp boat. As you know when a shrimp boat empties its nets on the deck they drop shrimp and lots of other so called by catch! This by catch, which consist of fish and more fish of all sizes is pushed out of the scuppers right back into the water. All size fish from large to small with and without teeth know this. So therefore it time to Go shrimp boat chasing! Please do not get in front of the shrimp boats especially when they are putting their net, because during this time they have limited ability to change course quickly.
Artificial Reef Report
The Spanish mackerel bite is getting better. I caught some real nice large Spanish mackerel while trolling small Clark spoon behind planers and right on the surface!
King mackerel or not!!
There have been a few more catching reports. The rule of thumb when it comes to these fish When the snakes arrive, which is those fish 7 pounds or less. Well, some of the snakes have arrived and they are being caught mixed in with the schools of Spanish mackerel. Please always check current regulations before going fishing. Currently a king mackerel has to be 24 fork length to keep with a bag limit of 3 per person.
The bottom line to this report is there hasnt been much of a king mackerel bite this year.
Savannah Snapper Banks
Just keep drifting!
If you have been reading you already know that plain old bottom fishing and drifting certainly can be interesting at this time of the year, because you really never know what you might catch.
Gulf Stream
With all water temperatures just about the same the blue water fish have spread out. This could boil down to all fishermen from the beach fronts to the Gulf Stream a possible blue water catch!

Walt caught this 14 pound stripped bass in 60 feet of water. Along with this nice 14 pound-er Walt caught 3 more striped bass in the 6 to 9 pound range and 2 large mouth in the 2 pound range. As if that wasnt enough a catfish too! As far as bait, Walt was using shad, which he was holding at bay in about 30 to 40 feet. This set up allows the bait to seek its safe zone, which is just about where the larger fish are waiting! Its safe to say, Walt and crew had a great fishing day!

Little Miss Judy Believe It or Not!
Bait fit for a king!!
Cigar fish known by most as a reef runner or lizard fish!
Bait fit for a king!
Back in the good old days when fishing wasnt so complicated. It was just plain simple. We just went fishing. Our bait was mostly collected on our own either from using a cast net or what we could get from our shrimping boat buddies. In fact it wasnt odd to stop a shrimp boat on our way out to the fishing grounds to get bait. We would get fresh dead local shrimp and squid. In some cases this became part of the fishing trip. This part of the trip was interesting for the customers. They would get to see a shrimp boat, shrimping boat captains, and mates. In fact everyone loved to get up close and personal with a big shrimp boat! I guess you could say, The fishing community was small as well as close! Yes those were the good old days where everyone knew everyone especially when it came to ocean going working folks!
I cant remember when bait became so complicated. We just used what we had at the time and it just worked. I never knew what a cigar minnow was until the middle seventies. In fact I dont even think gold hooks rigs were even invented until sometimes in the middle eighties. Let just say, If they were us fishermen in this area didnt know about them! In our creek where we lived there were schools and schools of menhaden. I never once used them as bait for king mackerel. In fact, I use to catch them by the hundreds with my cast net. I would then sell them to the next-door crabber for ten cents a pounds. He would use them for bait in his crab traps. As far as a ribbonfish we caught plenty in our nets, but never once used them as king mackerel bait. However, we still caught lots of really big king mackerel.
Our bait of choice for king mackerel back in the good days was known as the Cigar Fish, not to be confused with the well-known cigar minnow. While bottom fishing at the Old Black Fish Banks we would catch these fine bait fish. Then it would be a rush to get them rigged up and back in to the water before they died. At the time they were the greatest king mackerel bait known to us. In fact catching one cigar fish meant that your chances were good for getting a big king mackerel hooked up, landed, and thrown in the box. Thats how quick it was! During my fathers king mackerel fishing era, big kings were called Smokers or Silver Kings.
Believe it or not but we also used Prawn Shrimp while king mackerel fishing. We would keep them in a five-gallon bucket that had about two gallons of saltwater in it. I would throw small chunks of ice in the bucket until we reach the fishing grounds. According to Daddy the ice along with the splashing helped keep the shrimp alive longer. Upon arriving at the fishing grounds Daddy would throw out the bait container, which was basically a homemade wooden box. Daddy made them out of marine plywood. He drilled about one hundred-quarter inch holes in it. This allowed the water to flow through, which in turn would keep its occupants alive most all day.
I know that you are dying to hear about the rig that we use back in the old days to catch a king mackerel. It was simple rig and most inshore trout fishermen would recognize it right off. It basically was a traditional trout rig, but real beefed up. The cork that daddy used was larger than a normal trout float. The sinker that he used to set the cork up was around 21/2 to 3 ounces. The leader in some cases was made out of wire while others times he used mono. We just hooked the fish, awkward as it was, in the dorsal fin area. The rule when hooking the long and narrow cigar fish was that you had to place the hook directly in the middle of the weight of the fish. If you didnt the fish would swim entirely too funny sometimes scaring the mackerel off. Daddy had a way of making sure that the bait was balanced. He just held the leader up while the bait was on it. If the fish leaned more to one end rather than level he would just move the hook until he had the balance that he wanted. According to Daddy bait balance was everything. For those of you that are laughing he was known for catching a lot of big fish. I dont remember using stinger hooks until later on. (A stinger hook is a trailing hook, which is usually located about 3 to 4 inches beyond the main hook.)
My father used a big long shank J hooks on his king mackerel float rig. By using a longer shank hook the kings teeth never touch the leader at all. I know what you must be thinking that a long bait such as the cigar fish would certainly need more than one hook. If I didnt know what I know about the way this bait would swim with a single hook I would have to agree. However, once hooked up the cigar fish would swim in such a manner that a king could not pass them up. Even if the mackerel missed the hook on the first pass it really didnt matter the fish always turn back to finish up the eating deal.
The old cigar fish from yesteryear is what we call reef runner or lizard fish today. My father named this fish cigar fish, because it was the same color and shape of his big King Edward Cigars! Now you know the rest of the story!
Heres what the inside of the mouth of a reef runner also known as a cigar fish looks like. It not an especially good picture, but I can walk you through it. There are teeth on its tongue, lips, mouth, and throat allowing this fish to hold on to what it attacks. Now you might think its not a fighter, but it is. I hate for this fish to weight in at around 50 pounds! Thank goodness they only come in small more manageable sizes.
Thanks for reading!

Thhe Southern Fishing report by Ken Sturdivant 7-15

770 889 2654
Cumming, Georgia 30040
July 14, 2011
LAKE LANIER IS DOWN 4.9 FEET, THE CREEKS ARE SLIGHTLY STAINED AND THE MAIN LAKE IS CLEAR & 87 DEGREES.
Spotted bass fishing is good and the fish may change from one day to the next. Ne day top water is hot and then the next day you will have to go to the drop shot. Most of the fish are being caught fishing the under water humps mid lake around primary points and main lake humps. Spots have been starting to school up better this week and top water baits have been quite successful. On overcast days, use the Lucky Craft Sammy 115 and 110 in any a shad pattern on the Storm Chug Bug and the Rico in the shad colors. The bone Zara Spook Jr. and the regular size Zara Spook in the One Knocker style has been very good on the larger fish. Run the top water baits really fast across the surface when you run up on a school of fish on top. We call this running the dog and keep the rod way high and reel the bait fast with the walk the dog action. The spots will chase this bait down and eat it. Use the Scrounger with the Zoom Fluke in pearl and add a chartreuse tail on the fluke with the Spike It markers. Drop shot rigs the morning dawn Robo worm continue to catch some really big spots. Do not spend too much time on a point, hump or brush pile as the fish can be finicky to n make bite.
This Lake Lanier Striper report is from Captain Ken West and Captain Mike Maddalena of Big Fish On! Guide Service, 404 561 2564. www.bigfishonguide.com
Striper fishing is great and the fish in their summer time patterns and are very active. However, the afternoon bite is better than morning. Plan on starting your trip around 10:00 am. There are a lot of fish holding at 30 to 60 feet over both river and creek channels from Browns Bridge to the dam. Focus on the edges of the channels in 80 to 120 feet of water. There are also a good number of fish in pockets early in the morning from 60 to 80 feet of water. Focus on the pockets in the mouths of the creeks. The summer time pattern is in full force. Down line herring is always a good summer time technique. You may want to increase the length of your 12 pond test fluorocarbon leaders to 10 feet or greater. Change your baits often to ensure they are "lively". Never reuse herring. Remember, stripers love to chase there baits. Downriggers and lead core are both working with Captain Mack’s 1oz bucktail jig with a chartreuse or white 4 inch shad body. Umbrella rigs will work if you can get them deep enough and keep them out of the trees. Don’t forget to put ice on your bait and try to get your herring down as quick as possible. At our current 80+ degree water temperature catching a striper subjects it to a lot of stress. Consider not taking "another" fish picture and instead release it immediately. Finding these big fish in trees is a much simpler with the new Lowrance structure scan down scan technology.

WEST POINT LAKE IS DOWN 4.6 FEET, STAINED & 89 DEGREES BY CHRIS BELL
Bass fishing has been slow. Fishing has been slow with the higher temperatures. Most fish are coming from deep water road beds and humps when current is present. Use Carolina rigs and shaky heads worked slowly. When generation is at its strongest and bait is present use deep diving crankbaits in shad patterns. The best colors have been watermelon and green pumpkin when using a Carolina rig and deep crankbaits in a shad pattern. There is an early morning top water bite on schooling fish before the sun tops the trees on schooling fish. For these fish use popping cork and fly. The best locations for these schooling fish have been on the southern end of the lake, south of Wehadkee creek.
Hybrid and striper fishing is fair. Fish are schooling lake wide over the tops of humps and road beds following shad on the surface. The action will be fast so use fast moving shad imitating baits. Use ¼ ounce Rat L Traps and Pop-Rs. Work baits quickly to resemble fleeing shad. Once top water action slows use live bait over the same humps and road beds that produced with top water earlier in the morning. The best locations are on the southern end of the lake.
Crappie fishing has been fair. Fish have not moved much over the last few weeks and do not look for other major movements until temperatures begin entering a fall pattern. Fish have fully committed to deeper water. Look for deep brush piles near main lake during day time hours. Best fishing has come from bridge pilings at night. Down line live bait twelve to fifteen feet deep.
July 14, 2011
LAKE ALLATOONA IS DOWN 2.9 FEET, 88 DEGREES AND CLEAR
Spotted bass fishing is fair. They continue to move shallow early and late and back off during the day. Try top water early with a Zoom pearl fluke thrown right to the bank on mid lake points and pockets. Mid day go a little deeper with Zoom finesse worms on a jig head around deeper brush piles. Green pumpkin will work but sometimes just a little different color will get the fish going. If you find docks with brush try Spankys ¼ ounce mine jig, use it with a matching Zoom Trailer and be sure to use green pumpkin. Fish the long points as well, back off a bit and throw a Carolina rigged lizard. Night fishing is more productive and more comfortable. Try slow rolling ½ ounce or larger Sworming Hornet Colorado blade spinner bait after dark across those long points. Also, the deeper diving Norman DD22 crank baits are beginning to catch quite a few. The key is bouncing them off deep rocks. This technique usually connects with bigger fish so be ready. Finally, think brush piles. Drop a Zoom finesse worm in green on 1/8 ounce Slider Head in brush from 12 to 20 feet and shake it. Drop shot rigs are also working. Try the Yamamoto cut tail worm or the new teeny tiny 2 Zoom Flukes.
This Lake Allatoona striper and hybrid fishing guides report has been brought to you exclusively by Robert Eidson of First Bite Guide Service, 770 827 6282. www.firstbiteguideservice.com Lake Allatoona, Georgia email: eidson6260@comcast.net
Line side fishing is good and the trolling bite is starting to over take the live bait bite on Lake Allatoona. The dissolved oxygen level on Lake Allatoona is making live bait fishing tough. Shad have less then a five minute life span on a hook fish deeper then 20 feet right now. And the window of opportunity for catching numbers on live bait is less then and hour and a half right at sun up. This is the time of year where trollers rule, and will for the next two months. The key to good numbers in late summer is to be universal. Be open mined every time you head to the lake. Live bait, umbrella rigs, deep diving, crank baits, spoons, and lead core will all work this time of year. But when you combine all of these techniques into one outing the rewards just may out weight you catch.
July 14, 2011
LAKE HARTWELL IS DOWN 4.4 FEET, CLEAR & 88 DEGREES
Bass fishing is fair and the fish are up in the shallows early and then leave for the deeper waters by 10am. Early try the small white buzz baits and the Pop r on any shadowed bank or on docks. Then DT Rapala crank baits and the Husky Jerks need to come out. Small bass are being caught on the main lake points back to the secondary points in some coves. If there is any stained water up lake, use the fire tiger color DT6 and a jointed or the RS Shad Rap. Look for plenty of rock with brush piles or timber in the same area. Early morning, until about noon is the best time to fish this week. Skippy baits will also work on a 3/0 Mustad offset worm hook and use pearl on sunny days and June bug on cloudy days.
July 14, 2011
LAKE RUSSELL IS DOWN 3.7 FEET, CLEAR & 87 DEGREES
Bass fishing is a little slow with the full moon this week. A few fish are still hitting top water baits during early morning, mostly in coves from the mouth to about half way in. Most any shallow cover can hold a fish but main lake humps and points are best. Pop Rs, Chug Bugs, Tiny Torpedos, or similar baits should produce a fish or two for the angler that concentrates on early morning top water. Carolina rig is another good choice. Use a 6 to 12 inch leader and the lightest weight possible. Try a small Spot Sticker head and add a Zoom finesse worm or a Zoom Trick worm and use green pumpkin, natural blue, June bug and black. Also try a jig with a Zoom Salty Chunk trailer. Use the Lowrance Structure Scan down Scan technology to scan an area and you will see the fish. The Lowrance and Sirius Weather module will help keep you safe with the Lowrance HDS machines.
July 14, 2011
CLARK HILL IS DOWN 4.1 FEET, STAINED & 88 DEGREES
Bass fishing is fair and the top water bite is only good the first hour of daylight. The bass are feeding after dark with the full moon. After the sun is up, the bass are tight on creek bends down lake and on the sides of the main lake points. The fish are biting but slow presentations will need to be the order of the day. Use the Zoom gourd green worm on a Texas rig in the tight bank cover. Up the creeks, use a dark jig and pig combination and fish tight in any cover from the bank as far out as 15 feet. The Lunker Lure Rattle Back jigs in the 3/8 ounce size in dark reds and blacks with a matching #11 Uncle Josh trailer will be best. Add Real Craw scent and use it often casting to the same location. Keep a Zoom Super Fluke on a Scrounger head read and just make a long cast with the Sufix 832 braid and slowly swim this bait back just ticking the bottom.
July 14, 2011
LAKE SEMINOLE IS DOWN ONE FOOT, CLEAR AND 88 DEGREES
Bass fishing is good early and use a larger 1/2 ounce Lunker Lure buzz bait with a gold or silver blade and matching skirt. The Spro Frog has been working well on and over the grass beds early and stay as close to bank cover and grass lines as possible. The silver black back and gold black back Rapalas on the grass lines in Spring Creek are fair. Shad crank baits and jig and pigs in reds and blacks are good. The red shad 10 inch Culprit can also work and use a larger 5/0 Mustad offset worm hook and Sufix 832 braid. Cast to the grass and work the stumps on the edges of the creeks. Crank baits in bone and orange bellies in the creeks and on secondary points, is fair. Up the river, flip a big dark Berkley Power worms and use big ones. Flip the grass lines and holes. Use the Lowrance Structure Scan down Scan technology to scan an area and you will see the fish. The Lowrance and Sirius Weather module will help keep you safe with the Lowrance HDS machines.
July 14, 2011
LAKE GEORGE IS FULL, 84 DEGREES & CLEAR
Bass fishing is good early and late in the day. Use the dark Texas rigged Berkley Power worm in the larger sizes slowly worked on the grass beds mid lake and up lake larger crank baits and jig and pig combos will work. Try the Biffle Bug on a larger weighted hook and skip it into and around the grass areas. The June bug and watermelon green are the two best colors. The up lake bass are slow. Later each day, use a Hart tackle buzz bait with a red skirt and silver blade on lower lake grass beds. Cast these baits right on the banks and pull them slowly over the grass. A larger dark worm over the grass and around wood can get a strike. Keep a deep diving DT10 shad Rapala ready and make at least 10 casts in the center of any cove or pocket before you leave an area.
July 14, 2011
LAKE WEISS IS DOWN .64 FEET, LIGHT STAIN & 80 DEGREES BY COLLINS GUIDE SERVICE
Now available for sale 50 of my proven GPS waypoints for off shore structure for Bass and Crappie fishing on Weiss Lake, Alabama. E mail ken@havefunfishing.com
Bass fishing is good and the largemouth and spotted bass have moved to their summer pattern 8 to 14 feet deep on river and creek channel ledges, main lake points and humps and road beds. Carolina rigged plastics are working awesome right now. Green pumpkin and pumpkin seed seem to be the dominant colors. Medium to deep running crankbaits and 1/2 ounce spinnerbaits slow rolled are also catching some good bass. A few bass are still being caught shallow on jigs and tubes under docks.
Crappie fishing is poor. The fish are under the docks and out deep on the channel ledges. Shooting 1/24 ounce Jiffy Jigs under docks is still producing some decent crappie fishing. A few fish are being caught on minnows under dock lights at night.
Striper fishing is good and they are starting to show up in good numbers in Little River. They are also starting to show up in the main lake on points and river channel ledges. The canal and the Powerhouse Lake are also producing a lot of stripers. Live shad is the key to catching these fish. Flat lines and down lines fished 8 to 10 feet deep and trolled slowly are producing some great striper fishing.
July 14, 2011
LAKE OCONEE IS FULL, 90 DEGREES AND A light STAIN UP RIVER
Bass fishing is fair. The Rivers have a light stain and the main Lake is clear. Now is the time to start thinking about night fishing and look for lighted docks and start working a Texas rig and a dark u tail Zoom worm. Lighted docks with structure under them are producing best. If night fishing is not good for you then think deep. Work the south end of Richland creek. Look for deep ledges or off the side of deep humps. You will need to work these areas with a Mann’s 20 and 30 plus. These fish are holding in 18 to 22 feet of water. You can also work the same area with a Carolina rigged Zoom six inch Watermelon seed worm. You will need to use your Lowrance to ensure that the fish are on the ledge before you start working it.
Lake Oconee Line Side report brought to you by Mark Smith at Reel Time Guide Service. 404-803-0741. wwwreeltimeguideservice.com
Line side fishing is poor. The striper fishing has changed. The water temps have driven the stripers away from the dam. They are moving up the lake in search of cooler water. The best way to find the fish is with a Capt. Macks umbrella rig. You will need to run it about 20 feet deep. There is a chart on the umbrella rig package that will tell you how deep it runs under certain conditions. The fish are on the move so be ready to search until you find them. Sugar Creek has the Capt. Macks umbrella rigs in stock along with all the jugs and tackle you will need to pull the rigs the right way. If you like to learn how to fish your rigs, give me a call and we will take you out and show you how to do it.
Crappie fishing is fair. Some fish are showing up in brush piles from 10 to15 feet. The night bite in the timber is still the best producer. Look for the fish to show up on your Lowrance and drop you live shiners down the depth they are holding at.
July 14, 2011
LAKE SINCLAIR IS DOWN 1.3 FEET, 89 DEGREES, MOSTLY STAINED.
Bas fishing is fair and the fish are up on the shallow rocks and points early. Up the main rivers and in the back of the creeks water is muddy with a little stained water down the lake. Bass fishing is fair. As the water temperature stay up, these fish will still feed to replace the energy they expend chasing food even in the heat of the day. Look shallow almost all day and hit the grass beds up Little River to Murder Creek as the bass stay in the shallow water. You can still find some fish on the summer time holes and also along the shoreline. Look for docks where deep water is nearby and fish a small crank bait or Texas rig worm. There also has been a very large mayfly hatch around the lake. If you can find mayflies near deep water, use top water baits in those areas. All white buzz baits in Crooked Creek can work on any wood.
JACKSON LAKE IS DOWN 2.2 FEET, STAINED & 88 DEGREES
Bass fishing has been fair but the fish have been a little off this week with the full moon. Fish feed at night during the full moon and this might be a good time to get out the 10 inch worms and put them on a light Texas rig and hit the lighted docks. There are a few day patterns that are catching bass but it’s hard to nail down which is best. Fish are being caught in a variety of areas and depths so it’s not just a matter of changing lures. The crank bait bite might be the best, with Middles Ns and Bandits good choices. Target the rock and sea walls. The 3/8 ounce jig and pig with the original Uncle Josh pork trailer in 8 to 15 feet of water around structure is producing. You may catch some fish with this pattern in shallow brush piles. There are many new brush piles under the docks. Some activity has been seen on top water lures.

Fishing Report July 14, 2011 Lahaina Harbor, Maui, Hawaii
Joanne Dowle tagged and introduced a 200 lb. blue marlin in the middle of the factory. Battling the fish on thirty lb. class standup gear was a problem so Pete Kilpatrick created confident that Joanne stayed motivated. Catching a 200 lb. fish on a 30 lb. class rod and reel is fairly an accomplishment. Way to go Joanne!
This father and son had an awesome day on the water. They had a whole of 6 blue marlin bites and each and every managed to tag and release their very own blue marlin. An extra blue marlin swam into the pattern but selected not to bite for some strange explanation.
I, Jonny, apologize for the top quality of the next several pictures. Clearly, I am not a specialist photographer and cannot establish when a digital camera is shooting in black and white.
The mahis were nowhere to be discovered at two buoys and a floating cargo net. Dwell opelus did entice a solitary strike but the fish bit through the bridle. Regardless of their difficult luck, these anglers had a wonderful time catching shibis and akus on light standup gear. Trolling also made two shortbill spearfish bites, but these fish in no way managed to find the double hook rigs.
This shibi was best for some sashimi and poke. Who couldnt go for some of that proper now?
This family members did a brief journey that merged the two trolling and bottom fishing. Trolling developed a large kawakawa, which are normally caught in the 5 lb. range. Amongst other issues, bottom fishing produced a nabeta. Nabetas are a kind of sand-dwelling wrasse that style exceptional in the frying pan.
The Drost group caught a few of excess fat akus whilst functioning a bird pile with lures. The anglers took some of their catch with them in purchase to take pleasure in some sashimi right after the journey.
Theres nothing at all incorrect with heading out for 4 several hours in the afternoon and catching a couple of mahis. These Nebraskans went out and did just that.
Jack and Sophia Davidson landed a couple of kawakawas. The kids were thrilled about their catch. The two tunas hit a three inch jet working in the extended gone position guiding a bird.
The motion kicked off for Brett Reifeiss when he hooked an believed 250 lb. blue marlin. The fish tore out some line and then settled down, but came off after about 5 minutes. Proper in entrance of the harbor, Brett arrived across his mercy mahi mahi, which transpired to be a good one particular.
There is no question that John Shimotas aku was hoping to prevent the marlin that have been all around. Even whilst confronted with that challenging task, Johns aku nonetheless located the time to bite a lure.
Ryan Cowett, Mark Koziol, and Caidyn Edlund also discovered some tunas, which they elected to catch on mild tackle and have filleted up for some sashimi.
Chuck and Judy Price tag had been joined by Kevin and Lori Flores on an eventful 4 hour trip. The anglers had a quadruple bite correct off the bat and hooked a single more fish on a stay opelu. A few of the five fish have been landed and the trolling gear was set again up. A quick time later on, the anglers had a double bite on the prolonged corner and the extended rigger lures. They landed one particular of individuals fish and attempted to entice any followers with reside opelu. Chuck, Judy, Kevin, and Lori ended up going 4 for 7 on mahis. As any Hawaiian fisherman is aware, averaging a mahi per hour is not also shabby.
This group of happy anglers was rewarded for venturing up to Molokai. They had a triple ono bite and got all three fish. The triple ono bite may possibly have really been a quadruple bite as yet another lure was later on found to be chewed up.
John and Ellie Gettigan, Chris Ellis, and Lasse Lindquist had an action packed day even though fishing the north shore of Molokai. They place some tuna, mahi, and ono on the boat while making use of mainly stay bait on thirty lb. class standup gear. The tunas have been in the 40 and 60 lb. variety.

Summer Fishing Patterns: Inshore Varieity and Offshore Billfish
Common with the lowcountry summer fishing pattern, the inshore waters are providing a minor bit of everything right now. Redfish are scattered all through our estuaries and are readily taking dwell baits fished around docks and rock piles about very low tide, and good reviews of tailing fish up in the grass have been coming in the week. Modest trout are nonetheless accessible to make a popping float go down, but the larger fish are nonetheless couple of and far amongst following the freakishly cold winter months we endured.Remember "Let em stay Let em Spawn"!!!! Flounder keep on to be fairly regular making use of live mullet, minnows, and chatterbaits near inlets and the edges of rock piles. Spanish mackeral have provided some wonderful reviews the prior week close to the suggestions of the jetties, castle pinckney, stono inlet, and especially south edisto place. A #00 clarkspoon rigged with a 3/4oz trolling sinker two ft ahead of it is nevertheless by far my most productive rig for these bullets. Even with h2o temps pushing into the upper 80’s, the sheepshead bite has also nonetheless been pretty consistent utilizing fiddlers and clams close to the jetties and docks with heavy barnacle growth on the pilings.
Offshore:
Tough weather conditions circumstances took away 1 day of fishing for the MegaDock billfish tournament, but did not cool off the fishing. Sound reports of sailfish keep on to come in, with many boats getting four to eight pictures a day. Spotty studies of blue marlin are nevertheless coming via the door as nicely, and a big congrats to my buddy Tommy King and the crew of the Stretched Out for their first blue marlin release caught on a St Thomas prowler lured customized rigged in HPT! They fought the huge ole girl for almost 4 hrs just before releasing her believed 450 pound entire body back to battle once more one more day. Wahoo, have been the much more exciting reviews lately with very good numbers being found in a hundred and fifty-250 ft of drinking water.
