Don't forget snook season opens Sept 1.Snook are on the beaches and also in our passes. We are hooking up and catching some Big fish (snook) up to 43". Talk about exciting, think about it, free-lining pinfish or shrimp on light tackle and having one of these monsters grab your bait and almost pull the rod out of your hand. That will get your attention fast while in a split second he is up and dancing on the surface trying to throw the hook back in your face and making your drag sing like you have never heard before. Just gets me excited just thinking about it. There is nothing better sounding than a singing drag, unless it happens to be your pole that's doing all the singing.Tarpon seem to be everywhere, and you never seem to know when they are going to eat your bait. These fish run from about 50# to 175# with the average size about 90#. They are on the flats, off the edges of the flats, in the passes and along the beaches. Therefore we fish for them while we are fishing for snook, redfish, and trout. Now tackle buster are what these guys are, they will put you and your equipment to the max.Trout are feeding good and are really nice in size. We are catching trout on the flats and also on the edges of the flats and in the channels. Artificial and/or live baits along with popping corks are Capt Fred and my favorite way to fish for trout. A lot of fish being caught with no problem catching a good mess for dinner.Redfish are working the edges of rocks or around the oyster bars. We like to free-line pinfish or shrimp on an incoming tide. Artificial is good also, with our favorites being jigs. Most of the fish seem to be in the slot size, meaning you can take one home for some blackened redfish. So no matter whether you like to use live bait or artificial bait redfish can be a lot of fun to catch and also good to eat.So come on and give us a call cause the fishing is good and a day on the water is great.
