Water temp 65

We had perfect weather yesterday on our double father son trip, and the fish were hungry out there too! First stop we got on a good grade of Vermillion and had quite a few rigs taxed on the way up by the jacks & sharks. Mike & Steve caught up a few for dinner, but let the boys handle all the big catches. Ryan and Karl were really hoping to catch a Barracuda, so once we had a few good live baits we went searching other reefs. We didn’t wind up finding any toothy critters, just a few more Jacks. Ryan caught the one pictured on spin tackle with a wire leader, and Karl had the biggest of the day 40” at the fork!

Tuesday I kicked off my 2025 season with repeat customers Mike & Michelle. Top goal was to hook their son John to his first Amberjack, and we found a pretty decent one out there for him. Not much of a trigger bite to speak of, but we did reel up a few keeper Mingos for dinner. Water temp was 65 in the pass, it’s about to get fishy out there!

It looks like I never posted pictures for September and October. Here’s a few of the pics to help feed the fever. Getting excited to kick off the season!

I had 3 dual passenger trips to end August.
1. Polly and her Grandson Yahel got on a hot bite and caught up their limit of Mingo on a 4 hour! Lots of barracuda circling us, but no takers.
2. Double rainbows leaving the dock and it looked like the bite was gonna be really hot! Vince caught this AJ within minutes of us stopping to fish. Unfortunately they made the decision to head home shortly after, as his wife was feeling ill.
3. Dave and Michael got on enough keeper Mingo to have a nice dinner, then we spent some time playing with the big fish!
