Headhunter Outdoors Report

Hi folks, Capt. David here with this weeks outdoors report. I really need to come up with a new opening line, don’t I? Well anyway lets talk fishing. Folks the Reds are everywhere and if you ain’t catching them you must be fishing to deep. This time of the year the schools of baitfish are up in the shallow water. If you want to know how shallow, Knee deep or less! The Flounder are right up on the bank too! Folks a Finger Mullet on a Carolina rig can’t be beat right now. Throw that sucker up next just about any grass bank and you wait for the bite. Heck I even caught a 4 lb Speckled Trout out of a school of big Redfish last week. If it swims and is in the water,it’s biting now. Bonnethead sharks are around as well as the everpresent Bluefish. Some of the Blues are huge too.
The surf and piers are giving up everything for Pompano to Kings and Tarpon. Cobia are on the reefs and are suckers for a live crab. Spanish are thick and the artificial reefs and ledges are full of Black Bass. Farther out the sailfish are showing up and some Mahi are 10-15 miles out. The weather and this dad-blamed wind is screwing up everyones fun so remember to check the weather forecast and the marine forecast before you go out the inlet. Don’t let someone else talk you into going against your better judgement. Just because the boat can take it don’t mean hanging on to it with both hands and feet is fun. Stupidity will kill you folks! Remember the Master of the vessel is responsible for everything. Don’t meet the Coast Guard the wrong way and wind up on the evening news! Well thats it for this week,so remember to be safe and come back alive. Oh before I forget, Take a kid fishing ya’ll!
