10/31 lead to 11/1....A FAVORITE MONTH OF YEAR, for me.

HTTP://WWW.CAPTDAVES.COM - FULL-TIME VETERAN GUIDE SINCE 1996....no BS.






















ALL HALLOWS EVE BIG PUMPKIN FOR BIRTHDAY GAL. 10/31
yeah...Rachel with a stud, in early morning light. A ''I.G.'' Redbass, within minutes of anchor coming tight.





















Mike, (aka: Dr. Dutch) got the next one, (after loosing a few from azz-handings...haha) before ''sea-flu'' set in for another crew member in the big rollies out at the jetties. Then, we simply bottom fished with shrimp for whiting, (got one too 16 inches! that was a whopper of a whiting), toss in lots of croakers also.








































Earlene caught a Pompano, bottom fishing a shrimp inside the jetties. (our sea-flu victim)

NOVEMBER 1

''THE 3 AMIGOS FLOAT-RIG FISHING TEAM''



















1ST SPECK OF MORNING,  23-1/2 INCHER....T-REX TROUT!






















ANOTHER FATTIE - aka: ''sweetheart'', for Ken. 

A Returning customer from back before the Jettywolf was built. Last time he fished with me was in 2002!!!
Glad to have him aboard with his buddies, again.

THE ACTION WAS PRETTY GOOD. NEVER HAD A SINGLE ''THROW BACK TROUT ALL DAY. FOUGHT MANY A GOOD SIZE JACK CREVALLE, AND LADYFISH, BETWEEN US AND THE TROUT WE WERE AFTER.

DIDN'T TAKE PHOTOS OF EVERY FISH (trout)...kinda redundant.
AND CAN'T GIVE-AWAY MY SPOTS. (So many spot stealers around here)




































Check out this ''chrome hub cap!''  A lookdown worth boxing!























a real battle....''light tackle float-rig fishing at its finest''
Ken, with a 13 pound Redfish. (and yeah a tiny #4 kahle hook) GREAT JOB KEN!  (directly afterwards, we had a larger one who was lost and a even more challenge on a tiny hook and super ''L.T.'' - light tackle. But, it was fun to watch for us all.









































BONUS, Black Drum that was a ''lurker''. When cleaning it, this fish had a bellyful of our shrimp, that the pinfish picked off our hooks, obviously. Black Drum don't peck baits. SO, THIS WAS A LURKER FISH, BEFORE BEING CAUGHT.
(goes to show ya, looking at stomach contents teaches you how and what these fish are doing behind the boat.) 























End of day fish box. 

The reason I love this time of year!  Nothing but ''good eaters'', fish fry time for all. 

Get a good tide day. Low winds, a few angler crew and lets go catch some!  

Yeah, you can pick a day ''hilly-nilly'' out of the air and I'LL TRY MY BEST, IF YOU DO. Or, you can consult me about the bests dates/tides. Not all days are created equal. Not around these parts.

Weekdays such as Mondays and Tuesdays are primo. Especially, if we have a great tide.

From here on out till May, it'll all be about light tackle float-rig & live shrimp fishing, toss in some jig-n-shrimp, and some bottom fishing.
