Chase N' Tails Fishing Charters
This is what we need a lot of rain to cool down the water temps at 92 degrees, I hope this rain cools the water at least 5 degrees. If this happens the Redfish will fire up for a few days until the water heats back up. Look for Reds around the outside points, cuts, coves, oyster bars and structures. A good thing to keep your eye out for is mullet, large schools of mullet around there is a good chance that the redfish are right in the mix. Also check out the inside cuts, coves, creeks and oyster bars for redfish; this time of year reds will move around alot back and forth from inside to outside a 1-2 degree can make a differnece to where they will be . The reds are on the sluggish side, so live bait and FRESH dead bait is the ticket use green backs, pin fish, mullet chunks and creek chubs on a 2/0 circle hook and a 20 lb leader.
Trout are all over the place, you can find some around the Redfish and shallow flats in the early morning, but if you want constant action and big trout you need to go out far 12-16 ft of water on mix bottom of sand, grass, lime stone, rocks and coral the biggest trout are laying around these areas. I like to use a 3/8 oz mission fishing jig head and a 3" Gulp shrimp work the jig slowly across the bottom. In the same areas you can also catch big sea bass, grunts, sharks, spanish mackrel, lady fish, gag grouper, flounder and BIG Trout. Snook are around the pints, cuts and coves with good water flow use a white jerk bait rig weedless or live pinfish and green backs under a cork with a 2/0 circle hook most Snook are ranging from 20-30".
NOW, scallops are teh hottest thin going right now this has turned out to be the best scallops deason I have ever seen. They are everywhere getting your limit is NO problem, 10 gals of scallops in 1 hr is fantastic just ice them down as soon as possible and make sure you are flying the divers-down flag when people are in the water. Look for scallops North of Bayport to Chazz in 4-8 ft of water.
What's the rest of the month looking like? Trout to be offshore in 12-16 ft along with a good mix bag, Redfish can be on the slow side, if we don't get our normal rainy afternoons and mornings. Scallops will be on fire through the rest of the season, so come book a trip with Capt. Josh and enjoy a GREAT DAY, fishing and scalloping. 352-345-9304
