Orlando Watson

Member since June 2022 Little River, United States
Background
I've been fishing Little River area most of my life. Starting off in creaks and backwater estuaries. Moved to offshore and I was hooked. I enjoy taking new fishermen out and seeing their face when they hook up to a big fish.
Techniques
Bottom fishing and trolling. These two produce the most fish on a regular basis.

Offshore has been smoking. The 10 and 12 hour trips have been producing trigger, grouper, vermilion snapper, and several other species as fast as you could get line to the bottom. Trolling and lite lines have been producing black fin tuna mahi, and wahoo. Great time to be offshore fishing

Went out on an eight hour trip January 29th. Started out bottom fishing with the black sea bass chewing. Red snapper moved in on us and we could catch anything but them. So we moved a few miles away and started back on sea bass, trigger, b liners, and grunts. Saw a king mackerel sky near us so we change gears and started trolling. Caught 1 king that weighed 34 pounds and had another one on but pulled off at the boat. Also caught several bonita too. Over all a very good day. Its is great fishing right now with an eight hour trip or more. Tight lines
