4/17 - BUD ONLY FISHES THE ''JETTYWOLF''

www.captdaves.com - real inshore charter boat for all


BUD, ONLY TRUSTS GOING ON THE "JETTYWOLF"...SAFE, STABLE AND MOST OF ALL ROOM!

BUD IS WHEEL CHAIR BOUND AND 90 YEARS OLD.

HE'S BEEN A CAPT DAVE'S SPORT FISHING REGULAR FOR AT LEAT 15 YEARS. AND ONCE HE'S IN HIS "DOVE HUNTING CHAIR",  HE'S GOOD TO GO.

WITH HIS CARE-GIVER MICHELLE, I TOOK THEM BOTH OUT FOR SOME FLOAT-RIG FISHING. AND THEY CAUGHT TROUT TO 19 INCHES AND A FEW SMALL THROW BACKS.
PUTTING DINNER IN THE COOLER.

BUD HOOKED UP BIG REDFISH, THAT RIPPED HIM A GOOD ONE BREAKING OFF IN THE BOTTOM. AND THEY CAUGHT A FEW BLUEFISH TOO.

ALONG WITH WHITING, WHILE WE BRIEFLY BOTTOM FISHED THE RIVER.
MICHELLE'S WHITING WAS HUGE.

A GOOD AFTERNOON FOR ALL

4/16 - no one EVER said, EAST is the BEST 😒😒💨🌬

https://www.captdaves.com - Jacksonville / Amelia Island Florida, Sport Fishing Charters

YEP, A EAST WIND IS NOT THE GREATEST, THATS FOR SURE ON A FALLING TIDE OUT OF MAYPORT FLORIDA.

BUT, WE PREVAILED.  

REPEAT ''GREAT CUSTOMER'' CLINT FROM OHIO, WITH HIS EXCHANGE STUDENT FROM SPAIN, AND HIS 8 YEAR OLD SON (GOING ON 12) REVISITED THE '''JETTYWOLF AGAIN''...LAST OCTOBER I HAD THE SAME CREW AT THE INLET AND IT WAS NEAR PERFECTION, JUST BOTTOM FISHING.

TODAY'S FORECAST WAS '''EAST-NORTHEAST'' 10-15 KNOTS AND BY 10AM IT WAS!

very cool, too.  BACK TO WEARING FLEECE FOR ME.

THE MORNING ON THE PRE-NEW MOON HIGH TIDE WAS TOUGH.

ONLY BOXED A WHITING AND A YELLOWMOUTH TROUT (WEAKFISH)

BUT, I WAITED PATIENTLY FOR THAT FALLING TIDE TO ROLL AND THEN WE WENT ''FLOAT-RIG FISHING'', BECAUSE IT'S BEEN THE TICKET TO SUCCESS FOR ME.....ALWAYS IS IN THE SPRING TIME.

A FEW THROW BACK TROUT TO START, RIGHT OFF THE BAT WITH THE FIRST DRIFTS OF THE SHRIMP BEHIND THE BOAT.

THEN, CAME ''AZZ HANDER REDBASS'' AND SOME SPECKLED TROUT TO 20 INCHES. 

AS USUAL.....THE REDBASS WERE  ''MEGA-TIGHT'' TO THE STRUCTURE. AND GETTING THEM OUTA THERE WAS A NO WAY SITUATION AGAIN. 

BUT ONE BIG 30 INCHER MADE A MISTAKE.

THE FIRST ''BIG'' CROAKER ON A FLOAT-RIG CAME TODAY TOO.
ALONG WITH A LARGE BLUEFISH....''THE OCEAN SCOURGE FISH''

THE RIVER WAS PURE DIRT!!   WEE CAN NOT CATCH A BREAK. CLEAN NO DIRT WATER IS A 100% LUXURY ITEM ANYMORE.

GREAT FOR YOUR OUTBOARD MOTORS.......''NOT'' 

MY CREW CAUGHT ENOUGH KEEPERS FOR A FISH FRY.

TOMORROW: KIDS TRIP AT 8-10AM HOPE TO TROLL UP A FEW SPANISH MACKEREL
AND HOPE LIKE HELL FOR CALM AND LIGHT WINDS. AT LEAST IN THE MORNING WITH A 5 AND 8 YEAR OLD ABOARD.

THEN AT 11AM  80++ YEAR OLD HANDICAPPED A BIT BUD L. AND HIS CAREGIVER BY 11AM FOR FLOAT-RIG FISHING THE FALLING TIDE. 


FOR SURE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AS OF RIGHT NOW ARE OUT.

FRIDAY
South southwest winds 20 to 25 knots with gusts to
around 35 knots. Seas 5 to 7 feet with occasional seas up to
9 feet. Inland waters rough. Showers and a slight chance of
thunderstorms.

SATURDAY
West winds 20 to 25 knots. Seas 3 to 5 feet with
occasional seas up to 6 feet. Inland waters choppy.

HAD TIM AND JEREMY ABOARD THE FLOAT-RIG FISHING MACHINE ALSO KNOWN AS THE JETTYWOLF, TODAY.

RESCHEDULED TOMORROW WITH ELDERLY CUSTOMER BUD L. BECAUSE OF THE 20+ KT WINDS, AND MOVED HIM TO WEDNESDAY, AFTER A KIDS TRIP IN THE MORNING.

THE BITE......EXCELLENT.  THE GETTING TO THE BOAT???  JUST LIKE YESTERDAY.

LOST AT LEAST T-E-N BIG REDBASS TODAY HOOKED UP FLOAT-RIG FISHING DUE TO THEM RUNNING FOR THE STRUCTURE.

YES, THE REDBASS WERE STACKED LIKE CORD WOOD IN THE STRUCTURE TODAY, IT WAS TOTAL NUTS.

BUT WE DID GET A FEW OUT OF IT, AND JUST ONE KEEPER.

THE REST OF THE FISH IN THE BOX WERE ALL TROUT.  WITH TWO 14 INCHERS. BOXING ABOUT SIX BETWEEN 16'' AND 20''.

OH, THE STRUCTURE.....IT BRINGS THE FISH IN, 
BUT ALSO TAKES THE AWAY.......

BROKE LEADERS, BENT HOOKS, AND FISH THAT JUST PLAIN PULLED OFF IN THE RIVERS MONSTER CURRENT AS USUAL.

W-O-W WHAT A BITE, SERIOUS INTENSE ACTION ON NOT SO EASY, SPOTS TO FISH. 

YOU GOTTA BE ON TOP OF YOUR GAME!!

BOOK NOW......CUZ, IT'S ON!

4/14 - my JAX BOAT CLUB report

https://www.youtube.com/c/captdavessportfishing - watch us on  Youtube here!

''IT'S TIME TO GO OLE SCHOOL, FOR FAMILY FUN!''

I REMEMBER THE DAYS WHEN EVERYONE LOOKED FORWARD TO 'REAL SPRING'.  NOT WHEN THE CALENDAR SAID SO, BUT THE FISH SAID SO.

AND SPRING OFFICIALLY SPRUNG FOR ME ON 4/7. BECAUSE THE ''SPANISH MACS' WERE THICK! 

THEY ARE A, 'HERE'S YOUR SIGN', IT'S NOW SPRING, SPECIES. 

SO MANY TECHNIQUES, AND INTERESTS HAVE GONE BY THE WAY SIDE AROUND HERE, OVER THE YEARS. 

USED TO BE, AS SOON AS THE SPANISH MACKEREL HIT THE INLET, DOZENS OF BOATS WORKING TOGETHER, AND CHATTING ON THE RADIO, LOADED UP WITH THE FAMILY AND RIGGED WITH PLANERS AND SPOONS, WOULD SPEND THE MORNING HAVING FUN TROLLING UP A BOX OF SPANISH MACKEREL ALONG THE JETTIES, BEACH, AND RIP LINES.

TODAY? DON'T SEE MUCH OF IT. INSTEAD IT'S EVERY BOAT POINTED INTO THE ROCK JETTIES WITH A $5,000 GPS TROLLING MOTOR SET UP PITCHING JIGS INTO THE ROCKS. (I REMEMBER STARTING THE WHOLE PITCHING JIGS AT THE JETTIES THING...AND CAN PROVE IT. NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED THAT'S ALL ANYONE WOULD EVER DO AT THE INLET)

I ALWAYS ENJOY TROLLING FOR SPANISH MACKEREL AT THE JETTIES. ESPECIALLY WITH FAMILIES. BECAUSE KIDS, LOVE IT.

TO EFFECTIVELY DO IT CORRECTLY, YOU NEED TO DRAG THE ''HARDWARE'', AS WE CALL IT. THE HARDWARE IS A #1 PLANER, AND A SMALL CLARK SPOON, OR EQUIVALENT. 

THE BEST TIDES ARE ALWAYS (IN MY HUMBLE OPINION) RISING TIDES, WITH LOTS OF CLEAN GREEN OCEAN WATER POURING BETWEEN THE MAYPORT JETTY ROCKS.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PLANER IS IT DIGS DEEP, TRACKS STRAIGHT BEHIND THE BOAT, AND ''TRIPS'', WHEN A FISH HITS THE SPOON BEHIND IT LETTING YOU KNOW...FISH ON!

YOU CAN KEEP LINES TIGHT TO THE BOAT. AND ''TURN & BURN'' AROUND OTHER BOATS. DO NOT TROLL THE JETTIES WITH A SPOON 100 FEET BEHIND YOUR BOAT! 

DON'T BE ONE OF THOSE GUYS!

HERE'S A EXAMPLE (LAST 1/2 OF VIDEO) WHERE WE (MY CUSTOMERS AND I)

CATCH ALL WE NEED, IN JUST TWO HOURS ON 4/7.    https://youtu.be/8Qmq0fF2OuE

4/13 - 74 degrees on a falling tide?? Say it ain't so!!

www.captdaves.com - since 1996, inshore / coastal sport fishing, Jacksonville Charters


YES, ALL THAT HARD SOUTH WIND BLEW THAT WARM WATER OUR WAY I GUESS.

SO IT WAS SO. NO MORE 60 SOMETHING DEGREE WATER??

HELL, THERE OUGHT TO BE KINGFISH ON THE BEACH WITH 74 DEGREES, AND ALL THE BAIT THEY'D WANT. 


MY CREW TODAY WAS A MOTHER AND SON DYNAMIC DUO. (fresh water) POND/RIVER FISHERMAN. 

WHO GOT THE FULL INTENSE ROD BENDING TREATMENT
VIA THE GOOD OLE FLOAT-RIG SYSTEM using LIVE SHRIMP.

SPOT ONE WAS VERY INTENSE, ONCE THE TIDE GOT REALLY RIGHT.

''EVERY THING, I MEAN EVERY THING IS ABOUT WATER VELOCITY''

MAYBE NOT IN CEDAR KEY, OR TAMPA.....BUT IT IS HERE!

ONCE THAT CURRENT GOT REALLY RIGHT, IT WAS 'GAME ON'.

IF MY CREW GOT TO THE BOAT ALL THE REDFISH THAT HANDED THEM A WHOOPIN, OR JUST GOT OFF, I'D THINK WE WOULD HAVE SET A 2019 RECORD FOR THE AREA WE FISHED.

YES, IT WAS THAT FULL ON!

WE HAD OVER SIZED REDFISH TO 30 INCHES, RELEASED. 

AND CAN YOU BELIEVE WE HAD 3, YES THREE KEEPERS......WOW!

I TELL PEOPLE, ''I GET THEM TWO WAYS, TOO BIG TO KEEP, OR TOO SMALL TO KEEP, ON AVERAGE.''

PLUS WE HAD 3 'SWEETHEART SIZE TROUT.

WAY MORE TO COME WITH 4 MORE DAYS IN A ROW....ENDING WITH A MORNING ''KIDS TRIP'' WITH A 5 AND 8 YEAR OLD.

I'M THINKING OF DOING A 5 OR MAYBE EVEN ''10 REASONS I HATE SMARTPHONES'', VIDEO.

DOING A VIDEO ABOUT MY NEW ATOM MINI PHONE, https://youtu.be/v35bmNMydfs
AND THE COMMENTS RECEIVED HAS '''INSPIRED ME'', TO SHOW YOU THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY.

On Amazon

YEAH, YEAH, MOST 99% OF EVERYONE GOT DRUNK ON THE KOOL-AID THINKING 'WHAT COULD BE WRONG WITH A SMART PHONE???"......A LOT IS WRONG.

BECAUSE EVERY STORY HAS ANOTHER SIDE TO IT.
''oh, the stories I can tell YOU!''

MAYBE, IT'LL BE A VIRAL VIDEO?
