Fishing Report 08/07/2014

 

 Well, finally after 4 days of solid rain; we have sunshine again and it looks like for the next few days it's going to be better weather for fishing. Light winds are in the forecast along with only a slight chance of storms. Really, over the past week plus last weekend nobody did any fishing. So, I really don’t have that much to report other than to go off our previous report last week.

Since, the rain stopped we've ran a few guide trips and have had a few customers who has ventured back out on the water. I heard from them that there was a good Spanish bite on Monday out in the Shipping Channel with a few boats trolling Clarkspoons. Today we had a few caught off teh pier adn some bigger ones were caught again 315 on Live Bait. 

 

The Redfish bite hasn't really slowed up any with anglers catching them during all the rain and some more this week. There's been some Red Drum caught off the Surf in the last few days along with some small Bluefish.

 

Capt.Chris ran a trip yesterday and found a weed line just off the beach and caught good numbers of baller Dolphin on Clarkspoons. He reported some big Sharks up to 300lbs along with 30 to 40lb Amber Jacks.

 

So, as far as Nearshore –  we haven't seen that much change in the fishing as it's still pretty good. I had some customers come by today with a limit of Flounder with the largest weighing over 6lbs plus they had two Spanish over 3lbs each. They were telling me that the fishing has been pretty slow over the last two days but it really turned back on today with a good bite. They reported the water was starting to clean up which will only keep improving with each tide. So, all the rain seems not to have slowed down the Flounder bite because they had one of the best catches I've seen all year.

Wish I had more to report but we had a lot of rain and on top of that Hurricane Bertha went by just offshore of us making the ocean pretty rough over the last two days keeping boats tied to the dock. But I did get some reports today from some good Grouper, Snapper, Tigger's and we weighed a nice Cobia. 

 

But this weekend is shaping up to be good for you to get back on the water. Tomorrow and Saturday's forecast winds 5 – 10 mph, it doesn't get much better than that so it’s time to go out and catch some fish. Yes, the water does have a stain to it but it's cleaning up on every tide cycle and it seems that the rain hasn't hurt the fishing from what we've seen just in the last two days.
