Trip Summary

June and July are running the usual summer pattern, hot and rainy. All through June the storms have been pretty consistent. Normally we get the first half of the day is sunny and beautiful then around 2pm the thunder storms come in. Lately we've getting a lot of scattered storms all throughout the day. Even though we get a little wet every now and then it hasn't stopped the catching. We've been back at Sebastian Inlet the last few weeks on inshore trips and the snook bite has been fantastic. The outgoing tide has given us the best luck. The snook have been big, hungry, and plentiful out around the north jetty. Go to baits have been pigs, pins, and threadfin herring. Some of the guys have also had some good luck landing big redfish on live crabs that have been floating out of the inlet as well. There was a good run of mutton snapper for a week or two at the beginning of June along the beach and big tarpon have been schooling up along the beach as well. The closer reefs have been holding numerous lane snapper which we've been able to limit out on fairly easy and some decent sized kingfish. Offshore has been excellent, catching good sized mangrove snapper and lots of triggerfish. Almost every reef has been holding at least a couple decent sized kingfish as well. What's great about offshore bottom fishing is you really never know what you're gonna pull up sometimes. Trolling for mahi has been kind of a bust this summer so far. There's been scattered weeds everywhere making it almost impossible to troll. We've hit the red snapper reefs a few times and there was no disappointment there. Those red snapper spots we have are loaded with big thick red snapper. To bad we're only getting 2 days to harvest red snapper this year (July 8th & 9th) cause man we could fill some coolers with ease. The airboat is almost done so soon adding to Whatever Turns U On Fishing Charters will be bow fishing, bass fishing, airboat rides, and gator hunts on the freshwater.

Spring Break Time
Spring Break Time
Marzo 11, 2024
It's coming into spring break time, so we'll have limited spots available. We get booked up pretty quick this time of year. Let's start off with the weather, we'll it's been hit or miss as usual. It's been windy, rainy, and cold most of February. March should be warming up a bit though. When the days are available offshore trips have been very productive. We've had a few nice days in the last couple weeks, so last minute decisions to run out have paid off. The snapper bite has been amazing. Nice sized mangrove and lane snapper, triggerfish, sheepshead, pompano, bluefish, and kingfish, along with an occasional cobia have all been taking the bait. Inshore on the other hand has been hit or miss. The heavy winds have been making the lagoon very dirty. With dirty water makes it almost impossible to site fish anything unless they're active on top. The cold fronts and heavy winds have put a damper on most days but we're managing. The snook bite at the inlet has been tough as well. There's been a solid 10 degree difference in water temps from the ocean side to the river side. One day is hot the next day is not. The inlet has been holding a decent amount of jack crevalle which offer an awesome fight and there has been some occasional monster bluefish around. There's been a good number of blacktip and spinner sharks being caught along the beach and nearshore reefs. When mother nature allows us, we're having good luck on the nearshore reefs catching weakfish and lane snapper. The big manta rays have started to show up outside the inlet and if you're lucky they'll have some cobia tagging along with them looking for an easy meal. Bowfishing has been excellent at night. We've found some solid spots in one of the lakes that offers some fantastic trips. Tons of tilapia everywhere you look, some customers are getting upwards of 300 shots a night. The day trips are ok, but nighttime is where it's at for bowfishing out here.
