Описание тура

Inshore: It has still been a battle with the winds lately. Add to that the rain chances and you get a challenging day on the water. We continue to go through the change in weather as summer fast approaches. Fortunately, there are plenty of places to fish on the river and get out of the worst of the winds. The winter fish have pretty much left now. Sheepshead, drum and pompano will be fewer to catch, but we have found some nice fish recently to make it fun. It's time to concentrate on snook, redfish and trout. There have been plenty of jacks and ladyfish in the river and some nice mackerel coming in with the tides, too. Tim and Paul were back to enjoy the fishing. Tim topped off the morning with an over slot snook. The guys caught a variety of species in spite of a slow bite morning. Mark was out with me before he headed back north for the summer. We boated three snook and a nice grouper to make for an exciting day. Frank and Rusty were back again this year and found a decent snook bite with one slot keeper. The bonito were in the river and it was fun to end the day on them with reels screaming. John was back with James and Ann Marie to enjoy a morning on the water. It was a variety of fish that we enjoyed catching, but James topped off the day with an over slot redfish. Another fun week on the water! The redfish bite will pick up now and you can fish for them around docks and mangroves with DOA shrimp or live bait. Snook around the inlet will take live bait when you can get them. Look for trout in two to four feet of water with live bait or DOA shrimp. The bite for the sea trout has been slower for us this week. Mackerel on the incoming tides have brought some decent size in the inlet. Look for bonito to be feeding with them. Jacks are everywhere! Just have fun.... As always, remember, fishing is not just another hobby....it's an ADVENTURE!! Good Fishing and Be Safe, Captain Charlie Conner

September Fishing Forecast
September Fishing Forecast
Август 30, 2020
September Fishing Forecast With COVID-19 still affecting the Treasure Coast, more people have turned to fishing to get out of the house. August was a super-hot month! September will continue to be warm, but the fishing is always exciting. It’s a great time of year to target tarpon, snook and redfish around the Treasure Coast. Lots of bait has arrived in the area and the predators are chasing it both in the river and on the beach. Water temperatures will continue to be warm. Temps have been in the upper 80’s lately. It is always best to fish early or late in the day. The fall mullet run begins this month and that will bring exciting action to the area. I love fishing in September! Fish the shallow water early. Look for redfish around docks and mangroves this month. They like the shade these areas offer, and you can get a nice redfish fishing live bait, DOA shrimp and CAL grub tails. The trout bite improved this year and you can find some nice fish around Bear Point, Harbor Branch or Round Island flats. Fish top water early and switch to DOA shrimp or CAL jerk baits as the sun warms up. Snook season opens again on September 1st. Live bait, DOA Terror Eyz and assorted other favorites used around jetties, bridges and sea walls can get you hooked up to that slot fish. Make sure you are prepared for the season and check your equipment. It’s always good to check your license and snook stamp, too. Fish the bait schools! It's easy to spot the bait this time of year. The fall mullet run is going on strong in September. If you do not find bait around your favorite fishing spot, you will most likely not find many fish there. Move around if you need to find active bait. Fish love this time of year and they are out there gorging themselves on the bait in anticipation of the coming winter months. Water temperatures will begin to mellow out and will get back to normal. It's a great time of year to be fishing! Remember, fishing is not just another hobby....it's an ADVENTURE! Good Fishing and be Safe, Captain Charlie Conner **hidden content** **hidden content** **hidden content**

March Fishing Forecast
March Fishing Forecast
Март 1, 2020
South Indian River Fishing Forecast – March Inshore: The winds of March have arrived! Warmer weather means winter is over and spring conditions are just around the corner. Chances of rain are on the increase so watch the weather and plan your adventures carefully. Water temps will be on the rise this month and you can expect lots of exciting fishing action around the Treasure Coast this month. Look for redfish to be around mangroves and docks. A DOA shrimp is always a good choice for reds. Trout will be moving onto the shallow grass flats as the sun warms things up. Try a DOA Deadly Combo or live shrimp on a popping cork to locate trout. A DOA CAL will also work well this month. Sheepshead, drum and snapper will be along channel edges and docks and willing to take a live shrimp. Snook fishing will pick up around the inlets, bridges and docks. Live pilchards are a favorite bait in March. Mackerel, bluefish, jacks and many other predators will be coming in with the tides and feeding around the inlets and channels of the river. Small shiny lures work best for these fish. Pompano fishing has been good so far this year. Pompano are in the river and along the surf and willing to take a Doc’s Goofy Jig, shrimp or sand fleas. They usually can be found in channels and deeper parts of the flats in March. We have had great success on croakers the past few years. There will be nice sized fish in the river and along the beaches feeding with whiting. They are fun to catch and very good on the table! Winter wasn’t so bad even though we complain about it. Living in Florida spoils you! March is a good time to check equipment. Both fishing and the boat should be checked a few times a year to make sure everything is in good working order. Some of these windy days will provide a good chance to check rods, reels and safety gear for when good weather arrives. Have a great March and enjoy the fishing! As always, remember, fishing is not just another hobby....it's an ADVENTURE!! Good Fishing and Be Safe, Captain Charlie Conner
