Just because red snapper is out of harvest season doesn’t mean you can’t catch them. They are great fighters, great for pictures and when vented correctly they have a high percent recovery rate. We have caught these guys anywhere from 3 miles from shore all the way to over 200′ of water. We’ve caught them on just about any lure or bait. We’ve even caught them on a fly rod. Now if we would just have a longer season than 5 days would be even better.

Fly fishing offshore is in a class of its own. Bonita and black fin tuna are great fighting fish especially on a fly rod. We do close to shore trips where we target these fish on fly tackle. It’s very challenging but yields great rewards. Capt. Nick www.searokcharters.com

The Mahi bite is on and hot. You can find water temperature breaks anywhere from 140′ to 650′. Look for anything floating, troll past it with a full spread and if nothing bites pull lines and pitch cut bait or lures under the floating debris. Chin weighed ballyhoo or bonita strips seem to yield best results.

The offshore bite has officially begun. Mahi are showing up in the 150 to 300 foot range. Look for color change and troll the temperature break at the edge. You will also find black fin tuna and sailfish mixed in. Sea witch rigged ballyhoo and green spoons seem to get the most bites. Amber jacks are starting to migrate over structure. Speed jigs and live pin fish work best. Also, Grouper season opened up May 1st. Capt. Nick www.searokcharters.com

The sheepshead fishing in the ICW is better than I’ve seen in years. Not only are they plentiful but they are studs. Fishing arond the docks will yield the best results using fiddler crabs and 1/0 hook. If you decide to fish the docks please be respectful of other peoples property and do not tie your boat off. Use an anchor or trolling motor to hold you in position. Book your offshore or nearshore fishing trip with Searok Charters!

With the cold snap hitting this weekend we can expect the Sheepshead to be heading into the river. For best results try fishing the docks on the outgoing tide using fiddler crabs and lightest leader you can get away with. The average catch ratio of Sheepshead is one out of five bites. If you’d like to hone your hook setting skills this is the fish to do it with. Book your offshore or deep sea fishing trip with Searok Charters!
