Tuna fishing report 8-12-09
The offshore fishing has really gotten hot lately. The blue water is pushing back in and the rip lines are starting to form up again. The tuna bite has been hot both during the day and at night. The full moon made it tough fishing for a few days but we still managed to catch some really nice fish. With the red snapper season winding down, we spent Sunday scouting for mangroves.
We stopped at several spots and there were mangrove snapper everywhere. Its not very often you have to recount your fish to make sure you don't have over 60. The amberjack or still thick at several spots. We saw several cobia(lemon fish) and managed to put several in the boat lately.
The grouper have been hard to find but we are still putting a few in the boat. It seemed as though the Wahoo had disappeared, but we picked up a few this week along the rip. Don't miss out on a trip of a lifetime. The season is winding down. The fishing is great through October, If you want your chance at a 100 plus pound yellow fin tuna, book a trip September through October. The big yellow fin tuna move in close to spawn and chase mullet coming out of the mouth of the river. The run to our favorite spots is close allowing you more time to fish.
We caught several yellow fin tuna in the 150 plus pound range in September and October last year and we are looking forward to chasing them again this year. Give us a call for an offshore adventure you won't forget.
