Hello! Hope everyone had a few weeks of some awesome fishing! The weather treated us very well! almost every day was a sheet of glass and perfect sunny conditions. A few days of some afternoon storms but not bad. Great summer Florida fishing.
Fired Up Charters and Full Throttle fishing located out of Bluepoints Marina had the privilege of working with the Wounded Warrior Project and Fishing for the Brave last week. We took out 6 Veterans from war and fully donated the day to them!!! It was a great feeling to give back to some who protected our freedom. Fishing wasn't on fire that day by any means. A few small sharks, 2 kingfish. I decided to go look for some Cobia....Well, we found 4 of them and one weighed 53lbs....Fired up came through and made for some great memories.
MAHI... Caught a few small ones on 8A this week. I saw a boat come back the other day with a nice Wahoo and a few smaller phins that were on a weed line in about 180 i was told.
KINGS... One day on fire next day gone. I have no clue how that all happens but it sure does. One day on 8A next on Lumps Next on A can.... As of right now they have been decent in the mornings on 8A. Some of the fish have been in the 40lb range as well.
COBIA... Great numbers. at least 2-5 a day.... They may not all be keepers but they are swimming up behind the boat and hitting king gear regularly! Keep a pitch rod handy! And as usual they have been on that "secret" spot here and there. lol
TARPON... Still around. Look early in the mornings just ouside of the bait pods in shallow water along the beach. Patrick has been better lately. They were spotted up north a few days ago as well.
BAIT.. Heres a weird one. For a month the bait has been scattered from the cape to patrick, One throw of a cast net and your done. Well over night 500 billion have disappeared a few days ago.....NO CLUE were they went but they need to come back!
SEA BASS/TRIGGERS... Plenty on every reef and up north as well on benson. A few decent size ones but plenty of 8" fish.
RED SNAPPER... There extinct...NOT Honestly there all over. I caught 2 trolling last week. one on the down rigger at 35 foot and one on my long line. the one was almost 20lbs.
AJ and GROUPER... Seen a few nice Grouper come back along with plenty of AJ. The offshore wrecks that normally hold them along with the 27 and 21 areas.
Well I hope this helps out.
Good luck see ya out there hopefully
