Headhunter Outdoors Report

Hi folks, Capt.David here with this weeks outdoors report. The Spots are showing up in better numbers this week and it’s none too soon! The waterway and the surf are heating up and everything is biting. Trout are still hanging around the Swing bridge and early morning seems to be the best time to catch a nice Speck. All that structure means that the Flounder are laying on the bottom around the bridge too. If you want to catch a citation size Flounder now,the bridge is the best place I know off. The Reds are scattered all along the waterway and I’m hearing that the inlet bars at both ends are stacked up with some BIG Reds! Now is the time to be fishing folks. Lay out of work and go fishing.
The offshore bite is still going as well. The best advise I can give you is, find the bait-find the fish!
Black Bass are everywhere for the bottom fisherman and some of the ledges in the 10 mile range have a grouper every now and then. Just be careful of the size limit! Flounder are being caught in the ocean and surf and the Blues are everywhere. I didn’t think that the little Blues would be worst bait stealers than the Pinfish, but they are! Kings and Spanish are thick and early morning is the hot  time to have baits in the water. Sails and Mahi are farther out but still biting hard when you find them. Be careful and pay attention to the weather this time of the year folks. A fast moving front can make it dangerous in a hurry out there. Slick calm in the morning and BAM! 6 footers rolling 4 seconds apart! Folks the first thing I would advise doing when it gets rough is to put on a life jacket immediately. Rouge waves are not a myth, they do happen! Just be safe folks.
Now on the hunting side. Well I’ve been hunting 3 times and saw deer twice but I still haven’t had a shot. Who says hunting is easy. Early season bow hunting is an exercise in abuse. Whether it’s the heat or the skeeter’s, it makes you question your sanity. What am I talkin’ about,sane people don’t do that to themselves. It’s still a rush when you see a deer. Heck just being outdoors makes me feel good. Friday my daughter called me to invite me to go Dove hunting with her on Saturday morning. Must have done something right! I didn’t go because I didn’t want to get a lesson in wingshooting from her. She gives me a hard time about getting old and missing birds. She did get her gift of good aim with a shotgun from her Granddaddy. Remember to take your kids hunting and you won’t be hunting your kids folks. Well thats it for this week folks,be safe and take a kid with you!
