This Last Week Has Been Great!

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

This last week has been great! Trout and Reds have showed up to play big time. We had Trout limits 3 of 4 days. The 4th day we could have if we would have stopped catching and releasing Reds up to 29″s. To top off those trips, 2 of the 4 days we had our over 20″ limit of Trout. Our best day, we brought 60lbs to the dock, Trout and Reds only.

Offshore has been good for all, Grouper, Snapper(no keep til 6/1), Kings, Cobia.

We continue to hope and pray to be spared oil impact, and today, all the reports indicate we may be spared. I read  today that there are 950 boats and 20,000 people working on the cleanup. Good Luck and God Bless their efforts.

Thanks For Checking In, Pray For Our Coast If You Will.
God Bless and Good Fishing

A Good Half Day In Cedar Key And In A Week It Will Be Great

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

The wind finally stop blowing and we headed out of Cedar Key at about 7:30 am with the water temperature at the dock at 68 degrees, when we crossed the reef it was 70 degrees and out at 45 feet it was 67 degrees.

The gags were biting but then all of a sudden the bite shut down. We didn’t have live bait and I’m positive that would have made a big difference.

We lost a couple nice ones with a free line behind the boat. With a threadfin on a kingfish rig we got hit two times and got 1- 20 plus pounder in the boat.

After that we moved inward since it was a 1/2 day trip, we then stopped in 35 ft to see what was happening, and the grouper were biting, we got one keeper grouper, grunts and sea bass.

We also lost another king there but for a couple hours fishing and traveling it wasn’t bad and in another week the water will be perfect for grouper fishing at 30-45 ft.

Although live bait in shallow water is always the good bet.

Good luck and tight lines

Offshore Fishing For Cedar Key, Florida For April 2nd & 3rd

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

The water temp was 63 degrees at the ramp, dropped to 62 degrees out in 45-58 ft of water but it warmed up to 63 degrees in afternoon.

The gag grouper, sea bass and Florida snapper (grunts) are biting good in 50 to 60 ft of water. It’s been hard to find any keeper red grouper in these depths. I believe there still out deeper, but there is plenty of shorts to catch and release. Haven’t seen any kings or cobia yet. nor is there a lot of bait pods, as soon as water temp. hits 68 to 72 degrees, things will change, maybe 1 or 2 weeks away.

We did catch some quality gags though, 12-15 lb’s. we did use some frozen mullet & thread fins and cigar minnows but the bait of choice was live pinfish & porgies.

Good luck and tight lines

Cedar Key Off Shore Fishing Report for 7-31, 8-1, 8-2 Saturday

Go Deep if You Want to keep

Cedar Key Fishing Report for 7-31, 8-1, 8-2 Saturday, The weather was a little hairy in the am, but it ended up turning out nice.

We started fishin in 45 ft, the grouper were biting good, but there were a lot of shorts, and mostly red grouper.

We then tried 55 ft, got few keepers there, but there sure are a ton of 19 inch red grouper out there. moved out to 70 ft and got the same results, talked to a few more guides and they had the same story.

Sunday, weather was perfect, I had a “sreach for new spots charter“, so we never went any deeper than 55 ft, caught a few keeper reds and 1 gag, but still another day of non stop short grouper, saw alot of bait pods, turtles, good bottom, also tried 38 ft on the way back in, you could barely get your line to the bottom before the red grouper were on your hook, all short but very fat and heavy.

I heard from another guide, who went to 80+ ft and did well with gags, reds and a few red snapper. So you can all the fun you want in close, but most of the keepers right now with these temperatures are out deeper.

 

Hope You Have Good Luck in All That You Do

Cedar Key Fishin Report Saturday 6-12-09

And Captain John Still Caught Fish

Well, NOAA’s report said 10 kt winds and 2 ft seas, and it was 15 to 18 kt winds and 3-5 ft seas, so the trip was made short.

We fished the king fish hole area due to weather, we only fished till 2 pm, using sardines, cut mullet and live pinfish, we caught about 30 shorts and 5 keeper gag groupers, 1 king fish and a lot of sea bass and grunts, not bad for 20 ft of water @ 80 degs temp.

So if you dont have a boat to go offshore or the weather wont let you go, try the kingfish hole area, trolling plugs, bottom fishing and keep a free line out back w/ a whole sardine, thredfin or live bait, while bottom fishing and wait for your king or cobia to take it.
