This is the 3rd week of June 2024. The rain we had for the last 2 weeks has the Snook bite on fire. This happens every June, we get tons of water pushing out to Fl. Bay and the Snook love it. They are also in the backcountry, when it is blowing 15-20mph or more it’s a good back up plan. The fish are on the edges and points, so you just have to go fishing. I use the wind as well as the tide on the points. 7 out of 10 spots hold some kind of fish and we bend rods. We are always looking for the glamour species, but the Goliath Groupers have made a huge comeback, they will test your skills
This week we started out on some small Tarpon and Snook to warm up. Jeff and Sarah hooked and caught a bunch of Tarpon and Snook on first stop. On our second spot we had a big Snook come loose but did catch a small one and a Redfish. Jeff finished up his Grand Slam with a Trout, Redfish Tarpon and Snook and Sarah got a Slam no Redfish. We had big numbers today!
I am with Greg his son Luke and friend Jack. We started out with Jack getting hooked up with a Tarpon on first cast. There was action for over 2 hours, hard to keep up with how many fish we caught. There was consistently a fish in the air whether a Snook or Tarpon. The kids were throwing NLBN lures, that’s all they use. We are a great match because for the last year that’s my lure of choice, you have to try it to believe it.
We caught well over a 100 fish including Tarpon, Snook, Trout, Redfish, Goliath Grouper, Jacks, Snappers, Ladyfish and Sharks.
There are plenty of lures out there, I choose the NLBN ‘s because they get eaten by everything! I have tried every combination of colors and they all work. One of the tricks to lure fishing is confidence, once you have it you will catch plenty of fish.
If you have teenage kids, they are probably using NLBN lures. They are popular, get some!
Don’t forget your eyes, not only will Bajio Sunglasses help you see fish they will protect your eyes against the Ultraviolet rays
The fishing is good and will stay that way all summer. The fish mind the hot weather less than people do when they are hungry. If you would like to try anything I have described give me a call at 305 333 8149. Caught Lookin Charters is a family friendly charter company.
