We had a great morning on the water with Captain Bob and his First Mate. Captain Bob was excellent about contacting us ahead of time regarding weather and wave conditions for the day of our trip, along with suggesting options that might fit in our vacation plans if we wanted to alter our charter date.
He met us at the parking lot ahead of time, gave us our car tag, and then immediately starting telling us about his plans for our trip along with answering the question my group was dying to know: โWhat are we going to catch today?โ :-)
When we were set up and got out of the bay, we were immediately greeted by dolphins jumping along side of our boat, and fish all over the radar that we trolled through in hopes of catching. We fished a variety of spots off shore, including some wrecks, reefs, rock piles, and other underwater structures that heโd had success with before. Like with any fishing trip, some spots were better than others. But Captain Bob made sure to help us keep bait on our lines and use techniques that would improve our chances of hooking them, and keeping them hooked. When the fish werenโt biting as well as he thought they should be, he moved us on to another spot. And his First Mate was using other poles with lures and the bait fish we caught to try and hook other species of fish for us to reel in that werenโt on the bottom where we were jigging.
When it was all said and done, weโd caught lots of โexoticโ fish - exotic from the perspective of being primarily a bass fisherman - including 25 keepers that were filleted for us to take home after our trip. And thatโs when we got one of the best tips from Captain Bob - he gave us the names of some of the local restaurants will cook your catch for you!
It was an excellent trip, and weโre already talking about coming back to fish with Captain Bob again next year!
