Yes, I would only ever go aluminum!  I'm highly biased.

He wouldn't think twice about it.
You ought to see his STABICRAFT 27 FOOTER!

"JETTYWOLF LIVE" - ''Reintroducing this video from my archives of hundreds and hundreds of videos no one ever sees.

VIA MY PLAY-LIST,
''Mayport Jetties & St. Johns River; Float-rig - Bottom & Jig Fishing with Capt Dave''
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...

I'm on a giant Trout hunt again, very soon. (catching many big Gators, on the float-rig with live shrimp since this winter) but, soon tactics will change, aboard the JETTYWOLF.

With my livewell Oxygen system, I'm primed and ready to catch a few dozen small Croakers via ''hook & line'', and then put them in the path of some GATOR Speckled Trout.

MY OXYGEN SYSTEM COOLER LIVEWELL, video: https://youtu.be/uMwSdrGh_wI

Yes, Mullet and even Pogies would do. But Croakers are hardier baits, and a Croaker just screams EAT ME, when fished in certain Trout haunts.

This right here is just a snap-shot of my catches, and more than enough genuine proof, that they WORK great.

***BIG Trout is what makes my fishing world go round.***

Yes, at the same time, I can pitch topwater plugs etc. But in the heat of summer. Nothing works better than a frisky live Croaker cast into a area it doesn't belong!!

Especially, in N.E. Florida. St. Johns River, and other similar bodies of water, local to ME.

This is NOT that pond called the Gulf of Mexico!!!! 
It couldn't be any more different.

5/28 - Talk about....F-U-N! On Memorial day.

Had the whole family aboard the Jettywolf today. Aaron, the same guy I had in the video a few "reports" below this one on Friday. Today had his wife and his little boy Noah aboard for a "3 hour fishin' fun time", just for his son Noah.

We sat in a super comfortable spot, with loads of structure. Bottom fished live shrimp.  And Noah got to reel in lots of fish.

-Croaker
-Pup Redfish
-Pup Black Drum

AND A JEWFISH!  
(A GOLIATH GROUPER) to be politically correct. (which I'm not! But I play one on TV...LOL)

It was really fun to just pitch out shrimp, and catch fish. Have little Noah bounce around like a kangaroo, and even get his Mom into the action.

GREAT WAY TO SPEND A MEMORIAL DAY!  THANKS AARON!

5/14 - my JAX BOAT CLUB REPORT

Is it that time of year, ALREADY? 

As a dedicated inshore fisherman. And a complete "Trout fishing snob".

Some of you may not like what I'm about to tell you. While some of you may not. 

Over the course of just two weeks. We went from nice cool spring time. To just about all out summer like conditions. No, I'm not talking about breaking a sweat sooner as you push the lawn mower around your yard. 

I'm talking about the fishing in the St. Johns River!

The only real way to describe this, is what happened on two charters I recently had. Each trip was almost identical.

-Falling tide. 

-Same exact spot. 

-Each day, two experienced guys.

-Float-rig fishing live shrimp.

-Target species: Speckled Trout, and any other commonly edible, game fish. 

On April 25th, they were catching 4 and 5 pound Speckled Trout. YES, Gators. Tree shakers! So easy, it was like falling off a stump! Just Trout and Sheepshead. NO BAIT STEALERS AT ALL!

Jump ahead exactly 14 days to May 11th, on the same spot. 

Same falling tide. Same exact fishing technique, same live shrimp as bait. Upon arrival the bait stealing thieves, ie: Tiny Pinfish, Mangrove Snappers, a few small Bluefish, Jacks and Ladyfish, and whatever else lurked below the surface. Were making the use of fishing a live shrimp, almost a futile exercise!! Shrimp were eaten by "undesirables", almost immediately. 

The water temp jumped from 68 degrees to a now warm 74 degrees in the St. Johns river. 

BRING ON THE HUNGRY, BAIT SNATCHERS!

But, my two guys on this trip were experienced Anglers. And they prevailed. WHY? Because they didn't simply give up. As the tide fell further and further, they'd pick Trout off the spot. First, just a few 15 inchers.  Then, a 5 pounder. Then a Sheepshead. Then a 23" Redfish.  As the live shrimp in the baitwell, started to dwindle, less and less, from feeding the bait snatchers. They'd hook up another 5 pounder! Then another, and another! Till every live Shrimp we had was gone.

So, what am I trying to say here? 

In this area, as the water's warm. The small undesirable fish start to become a nuisance. Stay with it. If you get live bait in the morning. Buy twice as much as you did a month ago. Don't get impatient. Summer inshore fishing isn't always going to be a "instantaneous gratification" activity, as it can be in the winter months. Stick with it. Fish harder and smarter.

-Capt. Dave Sipler - ''Trout Snob'' 

5/12 - NO....this is actually about fishing!

So, from my last report the view count is thru the roof. It was ZERO to do about fishing and it was oh so popular.

It got more views than my gawd damn "own" videos!

Yeah, it's been about a month since I did a video. And it doesn't really seem to matter.

The reason? My dad's been very ill and was in the hospital for 9 days. So, my mind really wasn't "into" sitting for 8 hrs editing a video.

I do have some topics, I could do a video about. But I'll get around to it.

After the views of my last report (below this one), I wonder if I ought to just post other peoples video's?

Here's some recent catches. BIG REDFISH & BIG TROUT, BIGGER DAMN SHIPS.....that reverse the tide flow in the river!  And super Sun rises I see every day.

Don's 20 pound Bull Redfish (1 of 3 hooked up...a few lost due to ROCKS!)

Don's Mom got this hefty Sheepshead. (His dad did too but no picture)

Bob's GATOR TROUT!

Jason's GATOR TROUT!

More GATOR TROUT 5 pounders!!!!!!!!

Bob's 22"  keeper sized Redfish. He also caught a Sheepshead, float-rig fishing.
On this day he caught his 1st Trout, Redfish and Sheepshead EVER!


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


MULLING OVER CHANGING MY RATES FOR WEEKENDS. DUE TO THE RIVER IS ALMOST UN-FISHABLE ON WEEKENDS AND IT'LL COST ME ALOT MORE TO GET OUT OF THE "HUB" FUEL WISE. TO GET AWAY FROM THE CROWDS.

SO A CHANGE COULD BE COMING. MY RATES HAVEN'T CHANGED IN YEARS!!!!

AT THE SAME TIME I JUST RECEIVED A EMAIL THAT "AMAZON PRIME" IS GOING UP FROM $99 A YEAR TO $120 A YEAR AS OF MAY 11TH.

EVERYTHING COST MORE AND AT THE SAME TIME MY COSTS GO UP, I HAVE NEVER RAISED MY RATES....THAT COULD CHANGE!
