POMPANO

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 :)

The water here on the nature coast has cooled off a pinch therefor the dinner bell has started to ring . This is signal its time to come in and fatten up for the winter ahead. The trout are showing up in large numbers and are redfish still schooled up and feeding . We are also seeing a few cobia on our flats . The near shore rocks are loaded up with grunts and mangrove snapper. Book now to find your spot . Capt Dave Maki Finntastick charters
