It’s summertime and the fish are biting.  If you are worried about the heat go early in the morning or late afternoon til dusk.  On the freshwater side the bass fishing is good on buzz baits, whopper ploppers and spinnerbaits.  The bream are eating crickets, night crawlers and Mepp’s spinners.  the crappie and hitting on jigs and minnows and the catfish are being caught on pretty much every kind of live bait or cut bait.  

Saltwater anglers are catching good numbers of croakers, blue fish, spanish mackerel, sea mullet, hogfish, spots, and puppy drum.

Off shore you can expect to load up on red and silver snapper, triggerfish, amberjack and black sea bass bottom fishing.  Trolling for kings, wahoo, dolphin, tuna and even a few sailfish are being caught.

Skip work, go fishing and don’t forget to pick up your trash.

Salt water fishermen rejoice because it is time to catch cobia. Cobia fishermen know the wait is worth the reward because cobia is the best tasting fish that swims. The best baits are cut bait. Finger mullet and lots of patience.

The flounder fishing is heating up. Plus the Spanish mackerel and Blues are hitting along the shore line.

Fresh water fishing is good – the bass are hitting spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and plastic worms rigged wacky style. The bluegill are biting on crickets, meal worms, and night crawlers.  The yellow perch and crappie are good on minnows. 

Remember to take a kid fishing and pick up your trash.

It’s springtime and most of the fish are thinking about reproducing.  And like most people, fish think it’s fun to eat before during and after the act.  With that said, the largemouth bass are bedding or protecting their kids.  Plastic worms, creature baits and bluegill imitation lures are great artificial baits.  The crappie are hitting on minnows, maribou jigs and road runners.  the blue gill and bream are hitting on crickets, worms and beetle spins.  The Catfish are eating everything from cut bait to chicken livers.

Salt water fishing is a little slow except for offshore fishing.  Some redfish are being caught inshore, plus stripers and sea mullet.

Remember to take a kid fishing and pick up your trash.  It’s ok to call in sick and go fishing.

Ok it’s a little cold outside.  The fish may be a little sluggish but they will get hungry and if you are home in your nice warm house they will eat without you.

Fresh water folks, it’s fall crappie season.  The crappie are hitting on minnows, jigs and soft plastics.  The bass are good on deep diving crank baits, finesse baits, and spinner baits with Colorado blades.  The bream are hitting on nightcrawlers and crickets.  The catfish are loading up for winter, so stink baits, chicken livers and minnows are your best bet, along with cut baits.

Saltwater fishing is really good for speckled trout on mirror lures, gulp, and mud minnows.  The drum are hitting on everything.  But the real winner in yucky weather are the striped bass.  They have many names.  Stripers, Rock fish and the I don’t see any game warden fish.  Best baits are plastic flukes, soft plastics, minnows, and jerk baits.  They are big and yummy.  Check your local waters for regulations and creel limits.

Good fishing.  (Go ahead and stay home if you want I’ll catch your fish for you…….signed, the Captain.)
