On our most recent trip we decided to target slot redfish specifically. They bite turned on about half way through the trip and the action was a blast.

The last couple weeks have been pretty productive despite the heat. Lots of big trout can still be found when the winds die down to fish the open bay. The rest of August looks very good and the fishing should continue to get better as we get some rain.

The Dog Days of Summer
What can be said, it is HOT!, the weather that is. Catching redish and trout freelining live shrimp or croaker along the rocks. If you move away from the jetties out on the beach front its sharks aplenty with cut bait.
As we move thru August and into September the over sized Red drum (Bull Reds) will start showing in the channel and surf. Have to get out early and get it done.

We had a windy day and even so, Capt. Mike knew where to go. We limited out on Trout very quickly. While we only got to keep 1 Red we did catch several. We will go with Capt, Mike again in the future. I would rate this experience from 1 to 10 as a 15.

Bobby was a great captain we booked him for two days and he produced so many fish and such a great time. He knew the water as well and was a great assistant to my son in landing a huge 35 pound drum. I also got one, but I’m not talking about it.
