Trip Summary

Had a crew of five join us for our summer morning trip, heading out at the crack of dawn when the water was calling our names. The early morning start gave us perfect conditions to get after it with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures. We worked the water using bottom fishing, drift fishing, and trolling to cover all our bases out there. The crew managed to boat some nice speckled trout during our 5-hour morning bay fishing trip. This area fishes well because you can switch between techniques depending on what the fish are doing - whether they're holding deep or moving around. We wrapped up the trip with solid action and everyone had a blast on the water.

Huan and their crew joined us for a September morning trip starting with clear conditions throughout the day. The weather stayed consistent which made for solid fishing conditions on the water. We headed out with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures for what turned out to be a productive outing. We focused our efforts on different techniques and areas, which proved effective for targeting the species we were after. Huan and their crew managed to land some nice Mangrove Snapper along with a Bonnethead Shark during our time on the water. These techniques work well in our local waters because they allow us to cover different depths and structure where these fish typically hold. We also mixed in some trolling to keep lines wet and maximize our opportunities. The crew did great with the different approaches and we wrapped up the trip with some solid catches and good times all around.
