Affordable Charters Fishing Report

On the piers they are catching a few flounder, some blue fish, small spots, and croakers.

In the surf they are catching flounder, a few virginia mullet, small puppy drum, blue fish, croaker, and sharks.

Inshore the flounder fishing has picked up a little bit. Still a few red drum, some speckled trout, small spots and croakers, and plenty of sharks.

Offshore king mackerel & dolphin.

On ledges catching nice grouper, black bass, grunts, and a mixed bag of bottom fish.

This weeks fishing tip is on casting. If your casting ability is not very good and you would like to improve it, it is very easy and fun to practice in your yard. Just set up a bucket or some sort of target and practice casting toward the target. Being able to cast to a strategic spot will greatly improve your catches. Keep fishing and be safe.

On the bottom they are catching black bass, grunt, gag & red grouper, snapper, & beeliners.

Inshore we are catching speckled trout, red drum, flounder, croaker, & large bluefish.

Fishing tip of the week: In the past two weeks juvenile shrimp have finally starting showing up. This is normally a sign of good fishing ahead. Mullet minnow should be starting to show up in large numbers at any time which will equal good fishing. Keep fishing & stay safe.
