Описание тура

April has come and gone so now it's time for the seas to give us a break for the summer. I've really been looking forward to the waters becoming a lot calmer now but unfortunately it seems mother nature is doing the opposite right now. May has started off pretty good this past week but the forecast for the upcoming weeks isn't looking to good, wind and wave wise. We've been catching a bunch of under slot snook around 25 inches on small threadfins and pilchards. There have been some decent cubera snapper, and lots of jacks in the inlet, and of course those big monster goliath grouper. If it's calm enough we've been heading out to some of the closer reefs for the first part of the day, catching our limit on lane snapper and having fun pulling in big bonita until the winds start to pick up. There have also been some nice kingfish caught around the reefs while slow trolling live threadfins. Decent size tarpon have also been rolling around inshore as well so looking to start jumping some silver kings here soon and giving the snook a little rest. Grouper season opened up May 1st which made for one crazy busy weekend on the water. I've mostly been booked up doing inshore trips lately from the discount I put out on Facebook for the local Sebastian Inlet fishermen, because of the Covid 19 shutdown of the park, so haven't had much offshore time other than fishing the closer reefs. I have had word that mahi are starting to show up so hopefully they'll be in full swing by the middle of the month. I'm really excited to start trolling for them again. I tell people all the time, trolling can be the most boring thing in the world, but when they hit, all hell breaks loose. Now that we're starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel from this shutdown, hopefully things will get back to normal. Unfortunately I am already completely booked up for May but we do have many days still available in June and July.

Spring Break Time
Spring Break Time
Март 11, 2024
It's coming into spring break time, so we'll have limited spots available. We get booked up pretty quick this time of year. Let's start off with the weather, we'll it's been hit or miss as usual. It's been windy, rainy, and cold most of February. March should be warming up a bit though. When the days are available offshore trips have been very productive. We've had a few nice days in the last couple weeks, so last minute decisions to run out have paid off. The snapper bite has been amazing. Nice sized mangrove and lane snapper, triggerfish, sheepshead, pompano, bluefish, and kingfish, along with an occasional cobia have all been taking the bait. Inshore on the other hand has been hit or miss. The heavy winds have been making the lagoon very dirty. With dirty water makes it almost impossible to site fish anything unless they're active on top. The cold fronts and heavy winds have put a damper on most days but we're managing. The snook bite at the inlet has been tough as well. There's been a solid 10 degree difference in water temps from the ocean side to the river side. One day is hot the next day is not. The inlet has been holding a decent amount of jack crevalle which offer an awesome fight and there has been some occasional monster bluefish around. There's been a good number of blacktip and spinner sharks being caught along the beach and nearshore reefs. When mother nature allows us, we're having good luck on the nearshore reefs catching weakfish and lane snapper. The big manta rays have started to show up outside the inlet and if you're lucky they'll have some cobia tagging along with them looking for an easy meal. Bowfishing has been excellent at night. We've found some solid spots in one of the lakes that offers some fantastic trips. Tons of tilapia everywhere you look, some customers are getting upwards of 300 shots a night. The day trips are ok, but nighttime is where it's at for bowfishing out here.
