Trip Summary
It's been kind of a slow month for our drift fishing trips. It normally gets a little slow in the winter months. We're picking at the fish on the day trips... some kingfish, blackfin tuna, grouper, snapper etc. You have to work for every for you catch, they certainly aren't jumping in the boat.
The best fishing lately has been our night anchor trip. At night, snappers come out of the woodwork to feed and they get more aggressive. When we anchor and chum at night, it gives the snappers a scent line that they can follow along right to the back of our boat. It really brings the fish right to us and gets them hungry. In the winter months, snappers go in shallow, sometimes to as shallow as 20-30ft of water. The yellowtails are usually a little on the small side and the mangroves are usually on the large side. What the yellowtails lack in size, they make up for in numbers. We don't crush them every night but when the fishing is good, we can catch more than 100 fish a night among the 15-20 anglers. Steer clear of Saturday nights as it does get very busy then, but most other nights are nice with only a dozen or so people. Good luck fishing out there everyone!
