POMPANO

Scallop season is in full swing and there are a few out there to find. The weather has been a bit hit or miss whoever we have been able to adjust schedules to accommodate most trips . The season ends September 24 so be sure to book your trip soon . See ya all on the water

Most people are out on the scallop ground getting what they can . I have been splitting trips and targets near by rocks for an hour or 2 after scalloping . I like to target grunts and mangroves this time of year especially when I have younger ones fishing on the trip . The bite stays steady and the fish box typically gets loaded up with some great table fair . Hope ya all enjoyed the July 4th celebrations. I have some scattered openings thru out the month so check them out . This week our tide will start shifting to have an incoming tide in the morning and this will translate into what should be a great redfish bite. Capt David Finntastick charters

The gulf temperatures have risen to about 86 degrees. This turns the trout bite to slow down a pinch ( unless you know were to get em) we have been focusing on the mangrove snapper and large grunt bite with the occasional seabass mixed in . These fish always create a busy bite and pull on the rod very hard. I typically earn my pay running around the boat unhooking fish and baiting hooks,this is fun and chaotic at the same time. The Tide is swinging around for a nice incoming tide in the moring and this is getting the redfish fish on the bite . Hang onto the rod real tide there going to try to pull it out of your hands :)
