Affordable Charters Fishing Report

On the piers they are catching about the same as last week. Virginia mullet, flounder, bluefish, spots and croakers. In the surf, people are catching pompano, flounder, puppy drum, Virginia mullet, black drum, bluefish, spots and sharks. Inshore we are catching some nice red drum, black drum, blues, flounders, spots, gray trout, speckled trout and croakers. Offshore, they are reporting catches of barracuda, king mackerel, and dolphin and on the bottom some nice groupers, snappers, and black bass. Fishing tip of the week is on setting the hook for inshore fishing. I have noticed a lot of my charters go into the panic mode when they have a small bit. As soon as the fish comes in contact with the hook, don’t jerk, jerk, jerk. Let the fish pull and then set the hook. Keep the tip of the rod up in the air and reel in steady. Enjoy the time it takes to land the fish. You will catch a lot more fish by not panicking when you get a bite. Keep fishing and stay safe. Captain John Carty Affordable Charters

In the surf there are reports of puppy drum, flounder, bluefish, Virginia mullet, croaker, black drum and pompano being caught. On the piers, people are reporting catches of flounder, spots, Virginia mullet, bluefish, croaker, black drum and still a few sheepshead. Offshore, there are reports of king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, mahi mahi, sailfish and white marlin. For bottom fishing, they are catching black drum, grunts, grouper, snapper and some amberjack. Inshore we are catching speckled trout, red drum, flounder, croaker, large bluefish and sharks. This week’s fishing tip: Getting hung-up is all part of fishing. I have found the best way to get your rig back is to point the tip of your rod towards the hang. Then tighten the drag and walk very slowly back. It will come lose or break the rig off. Do not wrap the line around your hand or you will get cut. If your rig is still attached, check your line for any frays. Keep fishing and be safe. Captain John Carty Affordable Charters
