Fishing Report
OCTOBER 8 ,2001
The
red fishing as been excellent over the past few weeks with big schools of
redfish scattered all over the Charlotte Harbor. The fish have cooperated nicely
using pinfish for bait. I have averaged 20-30 redfish in a half-day charter.
This kind of fishing is not unusual for this time of year as the redfish are
schooled up in preparation for the spawn in October as well as for the mature
reds to move offshore.
A few weeks ago I took Todd Clemens out on a full day charter. Todd was part of
a big group that hired 10 boats for a group charter. The day started with light
to heavy rain and Todd and me left the group to avoid the rains and to wait for
the tide to move. I told Todd when we started that the morning would be slow but
we would finish it of with a bang. So we hit a few islands looking for snook and
managed to get broke off twice in the mangroves. Once the rains let up I decided
to start heading to where I knew the redfish would be. When we arrived the tide
was slack and ready for the incoming to start, I informed Todd that the bar that
was exposed by the low tide would have to have the water start to cover it
before the redfish would feed. Todd’s response “you’re the Capt.”, so we
waited with baits soaking on the end of our lines.
As soon as the birds that where standing on the exposed bar started
getting there feet wet the fish turned on. Todd caught redfish after redfish for
the next four hours. The fishing was so hot that we skipped the lunch that was
paid for by the company that booked the trip. Todd was almost in disbelieve at
the numbers of redfish he caught and had to admit it was worth the wait. It was
a great day and Todd was a joy to have aboard my boat, hope to hear from you
soon Todd.
A little advise to offer for anyone interested. Sometimes the spot your fishing
in looks good and you think the fish should be there but there not. You just
might be there on the wrong tide. The bar I fished with Todd would not have
produced on the outgoing tide so that is why I waited for the tide to change
before fishing there. So when you find that spot that looks good and you think
it could hold fish it probably does you just need to figure out when is the best
time to fish it.
