This is now the second time I’ve been out with captain Bud. There are a lot of fishing charters that will take any tourist that comes down the pike out for a quick buck and do not care if you catch fish or not. This is not one of those charters. Last year I went out and caught fish until I was too tired to reel. Bluefish, striper, reds and more speckled trout than you can imagine. This year I wanted my girlfriend to have this incredible experience. We went out before the sunrise (because he wants to put you on fish and that’s when the fishing is good). We fished popping corks and topwater over grass beds and got into some incredible red drum. We are talking 15 pound fish on light tackle 8 pound test. Highlight of my trip was my girlfriend (novice-intermediate angler) catching the biggest red of the day and landing it. Then we ran over to another spot and got into an absolute speckled trout frenzy. A fish every cast. Several times we were tripled up on trout. We are talking a 2 man limit in 15 min or so. Fish on top. Fish on corks. Light tackle.
All this set aside, captain Bud is a good guy. He is from here/grew up here and knows these waters like the back of his hand. He is constantly working the conditions and the situation to give you the best experience. He wants you to catch fish as much as you want to catch fish. Like I said, I will probably never go out with any other charter.
