Headhunter Outdoors Report

Hi folks, Capt. David here with this weeks outdoors report.

The fish are biting folks! The water temps in the sound are around the low 70’s and the reds are tearing it up.

The creeks off the waterway seem to be the best places to look for a school. I took a charter out on Sunday and we caught 19 back in a creek on cut bait and live bait. All I could find was little pinfish but they were hitting them.

The surf is giving up some Red and Black drum along with some whiting and all different sizes of Bluefish. Heck I’ve hooked a couple in the last that looked to be in the 10 lb range but they cut us off before we could boat them. The best thing I can advise you folks to do is to GO FISHING! It ain’t going to do anything but get better.

Turkey season is still in till the 10th so if you ain’t got one yet, there’s still hope! well I’m going on a fishing trip/vacation this coming week to the Fla Keys, so next weeks column is going to be missing ya’ll. Hope you understand and I will give you folks the details when I get back. So till week after next be safe and take a kid with you!

Hi folks, Capt. David here with this weeks outdoors report. Warm weather and warmer waters mean the fish are starting to bite. Bluefish are everywhere and unless you want to lose a lot of rigs, use a wire leader! Don’t stick your thumb in a Blue’s mouth or you might not have the ability to hitch-hike anymore. Redfish and black drum are in the surf along with Mullet. Reds are starting to bite along the waterway and around some of the docks. The Trout bite up in the River is still hot if you know where to go! The inlet bars are great places to look for a nice red this time of the year. Lots of dogfish are around too.

Offshore all the fish are biting where they usually are when the weather permits. Folks it’s been rough out there lately. Kings are out 25 miles or so and I’ve heard of some Bonita 10 miles out. Grouper are on the ledges and rockpiles starting about 20 miles and the closer reefs are full of Black bass this time of the year. It shouldn’t be too long till the weather calms and small boaters can get out.

On the hunting side, I went to the mountains this past weekend and saw turkeys, Talked to Turkeys, and still didn’t get one! #%@! I went to a seminar on Turkey hunting a few weeks back and the guy said it averages 4 yrs to get your first bird. I’m beginning to think he’s right. Don’t think I’m going to give up folks. I hate it when people tell me stuff like that. I have to prove them wrong! A friend said it was a character flaw. Well anyway folks thats about it for this week so remember to take a kid with you and be safe!
