6/12 - I'm not a part-time inshore Guide/Charter...like many.

Oh, I find it so humorous. The chat on the VHF radio in the morning when the "Pogies"....(those little slimy nasty baitfish) are hard to find and everyone is running around like mad trying to find them.

Hell I saw them right off!!!  We went straight out to the 25 Shrimp boats working outside the Jetties this morning and I saw all the Pelicans diving on the pogie schools.  I didn't need them.

I just bought and filled my freezer full of 50 pounds of huge Pogies that were in a frozen block.  All to save time, fuel and expense.

Don't need to run around for hours, to get them. I had 12 inch pogies in a zip lock bag. And since I don't "TROLL" (save hours on my engine) I use mine for shark bait, Redfish bottom baits and just pieces for cut baits.

B-U-T....we ran up to the stern of four different shrimp boats and pitched out pogies on wire leaders and heavy rods and reels and NEVER HAD A BITE!

WHOA! that's something! 
I just heard two days ago they were thick as fleas.

That's why I don't care much for Run-N-Gun shrimp boat Sharkin much anymore.

SOOOOOO, inconsistent!

I have to deal with so much inconsistency already, just doing what I do, here in Bizarro land Florida. (Florida's home of the most wacko tides!)

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

So, what I'm getting at is I fish 100% inshore-river-inlet-coastal 365, 7 days a week.

I'm not just a inshore charter when the fishing is easy or "easier" inshore.

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

So, here's today's report.

Pitchin' Jig-N-Shrimp combo meals, Float-rig fishing live shrimp. In the river.

1 - 30" 9-1/2 Pound Redfish (too big to keep)
3- small Black Drum (1 was a 16" inch keeper)
1- Sheepshead about 2 pounds
1-Giant Pinfish 14 inches long! (we kept it and filleted it!)
1-GATOR Speckled Trout at 24 inches and approx 5 pounds.
1-GATOR speckled Trout at 22 inches
4- small "pup" Redfish at 16 inches

LOST ONE TROUT THAT WAS MAYBE 7 POUNDS AT BOAT SIDE! (because the current was so damn heinous!)

And left fishing and went back to the dock as the sky darkened and cleaned the fish we kept because they were going to visit the fryers at Singletons Seafood Shack, in Mayport around the corner from the boat ramp. For my customers dinner. Missed the rain and high winds....WHEWWWW. thank goodness!

I'LL TAKE ONE......LESS THE STEREO. (don't believe music belongs on fishing boats. Period!)

the hard part is getting it one all the way from New Zealand...but anything is possible with loads of cash!

I'll let you know one thing. New Zealand and even Australia are on the finest cutting edge of boat design. NOT only aluminum boat design. But all boats. In my opinion.

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

5/30 - 4TH VIDEO THIS WEEK. VIA YOUTUBE ARCHIVES

"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!
