Headhunter Outdoors Report

Hi folks,Capt. David here with this weeks outdoors report.

Well folks the fishing is cooling off as fast as the falling water temps. The sound is still producing a few Reds and Trout but they are slow to bite and finicky. Finding some warmer water is the key now. Dark bottoms warm faster than light bottoms. Sometimes just a couple of degree’s is all it takes.

The inlets seem to be the hot spots now with some big Reds and trout being caught. Lots of Blues are around too. A steel leader would be advised when they show up and they will show up folks! All the inlet bars are holding nice schools of various sized reds. Remember that the slot is 18-27 inches and only one fish a day. Take a camera and take a picture it will last longer.

Offshore things are happening but the sea conditions can be tricky this time of the year with these fast moving fronts and the wind. Everything seems to be happening from 25-30 miles and on out to the Gulfstream. There are scattered reports of a few bluefin being around as well. Now these are unconfirmed reports but from reliable sources. Just be careful if you decide to go out and tell somebody when to expect your return.

On the hunting side, Duck season is back in! Saturday we saw Buffleheads,Ringnecks,and Mergansers. The key is we saw them and missed. Must be defective shells? We saw a lot of birds headed south and they were way on up there. The weather up north should push a lot of birds our way in the next few weeks. Lets all hope for a good season this year!

Now on to the serious stuff. Santa is going to be making his rounds next week and he don’t want anybody getting any idea’s about shootin’ at his bucks! He said to remind ya’ll that spotlitghting is against the law here and he shoots back! Something about a couple of Cobra’s from New River covering his back! The dude’s got some serious people on his team. Now I hope that everybody gets what they want for Christmas and remember you can’t go wrong with camoflage! I’ve figured out that it has a slimming effect on me and some of my pudgy friends. Happy Holidays Folks!
