Affordable Charters Fishing Report

In the surf nice size bluefish, spots, small croaker, pompano, flounder, red drum, black drum, & Virginia mullet.

On the piers in the past few weeks the king mackerel fishing has been great. Also spots, croaker, Virginia mullet, bluefish, sheepshead, flounder, & gray trout.

Inshore lots of speckled trout & gray trout are starting to show up. Also catching red drum, flounder, black drum, blowfish & pigfish.

Offshore top water king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, sailfish, & wahoo. On the bottom red & gag grouper, grunts, snapper, black bass, & ringtail.

Fishing tip of the week: The fishing this summer was very good compared to previous years. This fall should be very good. We have massive amounts of mullet minnows around & the shrimp are on the move. That equals good fishing. So for those of you that haven’t had a chance to fish this summer dust off your fishing gear & get out there & catch some fish. Keep fishing & stay safe.

Fishing tip of the week: Surf fishing has been very good this past week. Most surf fishermen will fish for flounder & red drum using minnow & cut bait. This can be a little slow at times. After you cast these rigs out set the drag & put them in rod holders. Then take a light action rod with a spot rig & use shrimp for bait. You should see lots of action while waiting for the big one. I went this past week & within 1 hour I caught spots, virginia mullet, pompano & black drum. This is a sure way to put fish on the table & have a lot of fun. Keep fishing & stay safe.
