All Salt-Water Fishermen Must Have A Fishing License.

Article by: Captain John Carty

Offshore there are still some king mackerel being caught. On the bottom people are catching gag, red and scamp grouper, pink snapper, black bass, grunts and ringtails. Inshore, the water temperature dropped to the mid 40’s which has slowed down the fishing. Still we are catching a few trout, black drum, red drum, catfish and striped bass. This week’s fishing tip: As of January 1, 2007, all salt-water fishermen must have a fishing license. If you fish on a pier or charter boat they will have a blanket coverage that will cover you for that day. Island Tackle and Hardware will be a certified location for purchasing saltwater and freshwater fishing licenses. Keep fishing and stay safe. Captain John Carty
