Headhunter Outdoors Report

Hi folks, Capt. David here with this weeks outdoors report. Well with tropical storm Hanna blowing through last weekend, the fishing was a little off. Before the storm everything was biting everywhere! Since the storm the water is muddy and the bite is off a little. It won’t take but a couple of days for the water to clear and the games can resume! I certainly hope everyone weathered the storm okay and didn’t have any damages.

It certainly is good to live around here with all we have to do in the outdoors. Go down on the sound and catch Redfish and Flounder in about any creek mouth or on the flats. Specks in the morning and at dusk around the swing bridge. Kings from the beach on out. Black sea bass on the reefs and ledges. Heck everything is biting! I’ve even heard of a few small spots being caught. Now don’t get in an uproar, there’s always a spot or two to be had. Folks it don’t matter what kind of fish you like to catch, It’s BITING! Go fishing. The piers and beach are good at night and will only get better as it cools off.

Remember that you need a beach permit to drive on the beach in designated areas during the fall and winter. Oh, and a good 4 wheel drive vehicle. The fall surf fishing season is a great time to be a fisherman. Drive out on the beach, put a couple of sand spikes down, bait up and sit back and relax. Remember that it can be peaceful with no bite one minute and then all heck breaks loose when a school of fish swim by! It’s also a great way to spend quality time with the family! 

On the hunting side, Archery deer season comes in on Saturday and I can’t wait. Dove season is still in as well as resident Canada Goose season. Folks check your treestand for safety reasons and wear a safety harness anytime you are in an elevated stand. Treestand falls are the #1 reason hunters get hurt. Falling 20 feet out of a tree is a good way to end your season. I personally like my harness because I won’t fall when I take a nap! Snoring sounds like a buck grunting I think. Well thats about it for this week so remember be safe and take a kid with you!
