Captain Alan suggests to head out to the sound that’s if the weather conditions will permit. During this time he has been catching quite a few red fish, but now you can add flounder to the list. As with most inshore reports the spotted sea trout bite is far and few between. However, a few are being caught while regular fishing for red fish.
Here’s a good fish catching theory taking inconsideration this week’s tide times….
Captain Alan Suggest to fish the shells with live baits and to stay in these areas a little longer so as to give the soon to be bite a little longer to take place.
According to Captain Alan he is guilty of sometimes not giving the fish time enough to eat, which I am sure that I also have this problem. I am one of those offshore fishermen that stop, drops, and if bites don’t occur quickly I basically just move on. Well, Captain Alan due to having too wait in a spot longer than planned found that it just might pay off into in bites and hookups!
Here’s an example of what happened: Captain Alan was fishing one of his incoming drops and they had caught a few fish. Normally when the tide is just about to turn to out going he move to his next picked spot. On this particular day the wind she howled keeping Captain Alan from his next scheduled fishing spots. So the only decision to make was to stay put and just keeping fishing. As soon as the tide turned to out going this so-called “incoming spot turned on!” Once the outgoing tide took hold and all down under were set to eat a serious bite happened. It was pretty textbook from this point on. For every hook baited with a live shrimp, which was cast into location, a chance to hook up happened. They used a quart of bait in less than one hour. This spot now became a two tides back-to-back fishing hole!
As I interviewed Captain Alan about this particular catching trip he wanted to convey that most of the fish caught were release unharmed. The group only kept enough to eat. So the bottom line to this fishing trip along with this suggestion is that “on this day the howling winds caused a very good thing!” So therefore it suggested to take the time and give those spots that you think only produce at one tide stage two tides instead of just one! All this boils down to slowing down and fishing more! Thanks Captain Alan for this great fishing report and these suggestions! All good stuff!
