2009 INSHORE and OFFSHORE FISHING CLINICS

About our Inshore Schools

We have a great fishing situation in our area. The number one reason is that you can catch fish here year around. The catch is or if you want a catch is that you have to get a plan together! A well-laid plan will aid you to know when to target what, when, and how. The information that we will cover when attending the class will get you ready for such a task. Most fish have their perks and it could take years for any one fisherman to figure it out on their own. After all fish get together to school. So I say, Let's get together and get schooled!" By taking advantage of all the information that we have compiled on each fish I can almost guarantee that you are going to have to re-spool you reels more often. As you all know with this type of fishing the tides always play a big part in the catch scheme, but I think it's time that we aren't tide restricted any longer. In other words, let us help you learn how to up scale you fishing ability at any tide stage.

Offshore Fishing School 2009

My offshore school covers beachfronts, near shore artificial reefs, live bottom areas such as the Savannah Snapper banks, and even some Gulf Stream fishing techniques. It's not just for those fishermen that have boats over thirty feet long. It's an opportunity for all fishermen to get their best chance at catching offshore fish.

I have a 31 foot boat, Miss Judy Too," which is my offshore boat. However, I have used it for some generic inshore fishing and with great catching results. What I am trying to get at is "on some occasions it doesn't matter about boat size, but it does when comes to knowing what to do when you get there!" The bottom line to the offshore school is that you will learn what to do when, where, and how! This all boils down to knowing which fish to target when and what bait to use. It's all about "location, location, and location!"

TWO INSHORE AND ONE OFFSHORE FISHING CLINIC

Inshore January 31, 2009 and

Offshore February 21, 2009

2009 subjects

Our 2006 fishing clinics went well and we would like to thank those of you that attended. We will be offering two inshore clinics on January 13, 2006 and January 27, 2007. Our offshore class is going to be held February 3, 2007. Both inshore and offshore classes will cover special fishing techniques, which have already been proven by captains at Miss Judy Charters many times over!

Inshore clinic subjects

January 31 and February 21, 2009

The School of

Why, When, and Where!

To master the art of catching a fish is to know what they want to eat, "when, where, and why!" This is going to be the subjects of the "2007 Inshore Fishing School." The easiest part of this fish catching equation is "why," because fish eat when they are hungry or when you "tease them into it!" To find the answers to the questions of when and where, there is normally one thing that has to be present. The bottom line to this situation is that some sort of structure whether it comes in the shape of rips, currents, oyster rakes/bars, sand bars, docks, rocks, bridges or wrecks needs to be present. However, there are times when none of this so-called structure is needed. This is normally the time when fish are migrating from one spot to another. Knowing what to look for when looking at any of these aforementioned areas can get you what you are looking for, which is the best opportunity for a "solid Hook Up!"

With that being said, "the right bait is everything when it comes to fishing!" We will show you in detail the different rigging methods used by the pros. Just to give you an example: there are many ways to hook up a live/dead shrimp. We will discuss in great detail the why and when to use certain rigs and where! Believe me there is a lot more than just sticking the old hook just anywhere. Fish are attracted to certain shrimp/bait acting modes. It's time to find out exactly what those are!

Heck, after reading all of the subjects offered, it makes me want to attend!

Thanks, Captain Judy

Just a note: Over the years you can't believe all the interesting fishing techniques that I have learned about from those that have attended both inshore and offshore schools. It actually has been a wonderful experience getting an opportunity to hear so many fishermen's theories. The fact of the matter is I have learned something new and interesting at almost every school. The bottom line to all of this is still the fact that you really never know what you might catch or hear when talking about or actually saltwater fishing! I truly believe this is the real "Lure of Fishing!"
