This past week the majority of the charters have practiced catch and release with all species of fish.
The Snook action for us has been off the hook and it hasn't been at just first light or in the dark. On Weds. we caught and released 11 Snook before we had out first Trout to the boat. Most of the Snook were within the slot range however we did have one monster hooked up that broke off alongside the boat that would be estimated at well over 45". On Friday the Snook bite was less however one lucky client did manage to bring a 39" fish to the boat to be released.
The Trout action had also been unbeleivable for us this week as well. Double digit fish over 26" caught and released to breed and provide us with plenty of action in seasons to come. Release numbers for the week are well over 100 with the average trip producing 30-40 Trout.
Redfish have made their move once again and finding them is definitely an early morning venture. With a good run of Reds last week this week has been less than productive with only 1 fish to the boat. As cooler weather hopefully approaches they will once again go back to their normal patterns on the flats.
Mangrove Snapper have been an added bonus this week with some really nice fish taking the same plugs meant for Trout.
