5/1 - ONE LONG RIDE.....

Had to get my trailer fixed. It was long over due. Had cracks in the welds of the Rollsaxle trailer "spring system".  My trailer is 14 years old and need some attention.

And since it is guaranteed FOR LIFE!  I had the boat taken off the trailer, and put on a rack and ran almost to Tampa at 5am, got there at Rollsaxle trailer at 10am and they fixed it for free, while there had all the bearings changed out, and headed back all in one day...One Long Day!!

Here's the Jettywolf going air borne. OH NO!

Today, this morning. She goes back on the trailer and to her home under the giant boat port. Where she belongs.

------------------------------------------------------

It was a rough morning fishing the FULL MOON TIDES the other day. Here's Richard's 1st ever Sheepshead.

He and his friend of course had loads of Jacks and Bluefish too. While attempting to float-rig fish for Trout. But he wanted food fish. And that was tough to get in between all the Jacks and Bluefish on the mega-high tide, we had due to the FULL MOON.



Here's the only thing I like about when it gets REALLY WARM, with summer on it's way.....

4/26 - GGG' GATORS!

http://www.captdaves.com - Book your charter Today!

"JETTYWOLF LIVE" - Capt Dave takes Chip & Chip fishing. The lure fishing duo, trout maniacs, local Jax residents.

Usually these guys fish small boats and fish lures for the wonderful and top rated Florida species referred to as "Speckled Sea Trout".

But today aboard the Jettywolf with Capt Dave. These guys are rockin' it "ole school". One Chip has his roots in Float-rigging, the other has never done it.

Not only are Florida GATOR Trout caught, but also some FIRSTS take place. They also caught some smaller non-keeper sized Trout, a Whiting and a Sheepshead.

Comparatively. It was super kicked back, loads of fish stories, BS'n, and laughs, charter day.

4/25 - LATE SPRING GATORS

WE HAD OUR FAIR SHARE OF "TREE SHAKA'S" YESTERDAY.

GATORS!!......GATOR TROUT THAT IS. (SWIMMIN POOLS, MOVIE STARS!)

VIDEO ON IT'S WAY.

YEAH, THEY HAVE 4" CROAKERS IN THEIR STOMACHS AND THEY STILL WILL EAT OUR 3" LIVE SHRIMP!

HERE'S A PIC OF JUST A FEW DAYS AGO. WHEN THE TROUT FISHING WAS WAY TOUGHER. LOADS OF SHORT TROUT, NON-KEEPERS. WE HAD PLENTY OF 5 POUND JACK CREVALLES, AND ANOTHER SPANISH MACKEREL WAY INSHORE.

THAT'S FISHIN' IN BIZARRO WORLD FOR YA.

WWW.CAPTDAVES.COM

4/24 - TIS' THE SEASON.....be a Boy Scout or pay the price.

Why is it fisherman (sort of). The travelling type. Vacationers, etc. NEVER want to be prepared?  Oh they'll show up with Gilligan's Island Provisions that fill a 200 quart cooler, they'll show up with enough beer. But they just think, "It won't rain, not on my fishing day!" 

FLORIDA RAINS A LOT! STARTING RIGHT NOW! 

YOU CAN BET, I HAVE ALL THE RAIN JACKET I NEED NEATLY CARRIED IN MY BOAT FOR SUCH AN OCCASION.

But, it was just the other day, and the threat of rain was emanate. I told the guy who booked the charter, "Hope you all brought some rain jackets (or something) just in case?"   His response, "well if it's gonna rain, then we aren't going!"

-that has to be the most UN-boy scout response I've heard in a long time.

Golfers carry a rain suit. Hunters going Elk hunting in the woods of Wyoming in the winter dress to stay warm.

Vacationing (once in awhile) fisherman, don't even want to be prepared!

I've dealt with this for over 20 years now.  What is the problem?
You're going out in "mother nature", she's unpredictable.
Why not at least try and not have your day ruined by getting soaked?

Yes, I have a MEGA-TOP on my boat now, it helps with light showers.
But in side ways rain, you'll get WET!

I DO NOT CANCEL CHARTERS FOR POTENTIAL RAIN. I DO NOT END THE DAY BECAUSE OF A LIGHT SHOWER.

this is Florida......the deep south (although no one thinks of it like that anymore)  It rains here a lot.

So, when I call you the day before with a weather HEADS-UP call between 4-6pm. I'll let you know what the weather could be like.

if you didn't bring any foul weather gear, this gives you time to go get some.

DON'T BE A 'GIRL SCOUT'.....BE A EAGLE SCOUT!

4/23 - ole school never goes out of style

SPRING HAS SPRUNG, (doesn't matter what the calendar says)

As a Angler, my seasons are dictated by the weather, and what the fish are doing. March 20th may have been the first day of Spring for the landlubber crowd. But for me, spring just arrived last week. Because while on a charter we caught the first Spanish Mackerel of the year. Yep, the Spaniards arriving is the kick-off in my book. And should be in yours also.

Ninety percent of the time, I'll catch my first Spanish Mackerel at the Mayport Jetties. But not this year! We were Trout fishing with float-rigs and live shrimp near Blount Island in the St. Johns river when the Spanish ate our live shrimp.

Another oddity was way back on the first week of March, we caught the first Jack Crevalle of the year and the first Pompano. Guess these fish didn't get the Memo. They also were caught way inland from the Ocean.

So, now that the Spanish have arrived. What's the big deal you ask?

How about taking the Kids out to the Mayport Jetties on a rising tide and doing the Spring time "right of passage", trolling..

A lost art, locally these days.  Hardly no one does it any longer. Many new boaters/fisherman, never seen the lines of boats outside the inlets years ago trolling and loading coolers full of the Spanish Macs, that used to happen each year around this time. Again, it was a blast. And everyone was in on it, years ago.

But this fishing guide doesn't forget about the ole school ways. If I get a boat load of kids, there's almost nothing more fun to do for a few hours than troll up a mess of Spanish, Bluefish, and Jacks. No one has to be a expert. Just start reeling when one is on.

The ole school way is to troll planers and spoons. At a very fast clip. Making quick turns. Known as "turning and burning", on the hungry schools of fish.

Trolling PLANERS & SPOONS, very effective!!

"JETTYWOLF LIVE" - 4/19/18

had JaxJoe aboard with his wife and friend, aboard the Jettywolf on a blowing, but sunny day at the Mayport Jetties and in the St. Johns River, Jacksonville, Florida.

We float-rigged as we call it locally. Using a "slip float" rig. Then later we just bottom fished over rocks for 5 - Sheepshead.

USING ONLY LIVE SHRIMP (purchased from B&M bait & Tackle, Atlantic Beach FL)

Spring is full swing as the Green Scourge fish have arrived. Nasty Bluefish. Spanish Mackerel have arrived, so has Jack Crevalles.

I'm proud to be a FB drop-out. The entire platform never did a single thing for me. Never a single charter booking. Nothing but trolls "disliking" my video's about someone else's fun charter day.

Then, I go to completely delete everything on FB and they make it so hard, I gave up. So all I got to do was to "close" my account.

I'll be working on a complete DELETION, still.

BIRTHDAY GIRL CHELSEA WAS THE "HOT ROD" ALL DAY AS OUR ONLY LADY ANGLER. AND IT WAS HER BIRTHDAY. SHE CAUGHT THE FIRST AND THE LARGEST OF THE DAY.

AFTER FILLING THE FISH BOX WITH WHITING FOR A FISH FRY. WE RAN UP RIVER AND DROPPED 4 LINES TO THE BOTTOM.....WITH STILL, THE WHITING RIGS!! A 30# LEADER AND A MUSTAD 3407 2/0 HOOK. AS THE CURRENT/TIDE CHANGED CHELSEA DROPPED TO THE BOTTOM AND INSTANTLY HOOKED UP THIS FISH, A 30- POUND BLACK DRUM ON THE LIGHT LEADER AND HOOK.

3/25 - Oh how the weatherman missed it this one!

Fished a 1/2 day on Saturday and it was just too nice!  Yeah too nice. A few Trout, a few Whiting and that was it.

Today on Sunday it was blowing like all hell from the west. Not a great direction. and at least hard enough to make the ocean a soup sandwich. The Jetties were miserable.

Had Del & Carlos aboard. We fished for Whiting for some fish fry fillets and I kept moving all over trying to find larger ones, like on Friday. But no dice in all that west wind.

So after 12-15 worth keeping we went up in the river from the jetties.

Broke out the really "special baits" and bottom fished to see about a Drum or Redfish, on the same spot where we just caught the 30 pounder on Friday.

Well, we had a decent bite as the tide slowed, but no hook-up. Then we got another.

see that ship in the far distance?  here comes trouble!

Del got to fight this fish on my Jigging Master WIKI reel. Level wind, lever drag, MEGA awesome, MEGA expensive reel!!

But as he started to get the fish off the bottom, and it was really big, a security boat came over to us and said, ''you have to move, that ship is coming right in here.'' We were so busy, none of us even saw it. I started the motor, pulled forward as Del fought the fish, pulled the anchor a bit. The Del had the fish boat side,  I lip gaffed it. dropped the fish on the deck, finished pulling the anchor up, just as two tugs were moving this ship towards us!!!!!

we got out of the way just in time, I guess. And we got what we came for!

the Black Drum crushed my 30 pound boga-grip scale, but I estimated it at approx. 50 POUND range.

It took a little while to recoup, as we had to move around to find a place in the wind and current to get these photos, clean up, pack everything up, and head in to clean yet again a super ''clean'' parasite free Drum. 

Again, the Makita one-handed reciprocating saw, with a 12 inch FILLETZALL scalloped blade made short work of this big momma!

Del, hopefully will send me a lot more photos and maybe even video of the cleaning/fillet job, that if I wasn't on TEAM FILLETZALL, I wouldn't have wanted to even mess with these big Drum.  But, because I am using them, on these very 'clean' Black Drum my customers can take home their catch and cook up the fish. 

I'M SUPER BOOKED-UP, AND HAVE NO WEEKENDS AVAILABLE FOR AWHILE, LET ALONE MANY WEEKDAYS.  SO, I'M INTO MID APRIL NOW. SO GET WITH ME ASAP FOR ANY WEEKEND DATES.
