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.

3/30 - SO MANY LOST BIG FISH!

HTTPS://WWW.CAPTDAVES.COM


SO MANY LOST BIG FISH LATELY......AND I LOST THE PICTURES FROM TODAY ON MY GOPRO, TOO.

EITHER WAY WE HAD 2 REAL BIG FISH HOOKED UP YESTERDAY. USING JUST A JIGHEAD AND A PIECE OF BLUE CRAB.

ONE RAN AND JUST CAME OFF THE HOOK. THE OTHER CAME OFF AS CUSTOMER ''JIM'' WAS REELING IT IN.  (A BIG DRUM, NO DOUBT!  TARGETED SPECIES) 

JIM AND HIS WIFE MANAGED A 5 POUND BLACK DRUM, SOME BLUEFISH, A FEW SMALL TROUT, AND ONE 16 INCH TROUT.

IF YOU WANT THEM ALL IN THE BOAT, I CAN GET THEM THERE. BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT.

SO, THEY GOT SOME DINNER, PLUS 5 WHITING FROM THE DAY BEFORE ON A COMPLETELY 
'''FAILED'' TO EVEN GET A BITE BIG BLACK DRUM ATTEMPT THE DAY BEFORE, RIGHT AFTER THE 40 MPH WINDS.

HERE'S WHAT I'M AFTER:

•

3/26 - RIGHT BEFORE THE ''BIG WINDS''

HTTPS://WWW.CAPTDAVES.COM - JACKSONVILLE FISHING CHARTERS SINCE 1996





HAD DEB AND ROB ABOARD TODAY, RIGHT BEFORE TOMORROWS WINDS START.

WEDNESDAY
North northeast winds 25 to 30 knots with gusts to
around 40 knots. Seas 9 to 12 feet with occasional seas up to
15 feet. Dominant period 7 seconds. Inland waters rough. Showers and a
slight chance of thunderstorms in the morning. A chance of
showers in the afternoon.

IT GOT VERY BREEZY AS WE FISHED, THE ABSOLUTE LAST MINUTES OF THE FALLING TIDE, FLOAT-RIG FISHING FOR TROUT AND HAD SEVERAL ''SHORTS', AND ONE KEEPER, AND THE SCOURGE OF SPRING TIME....''the bluefish attacks''. 

OH YES. SPRING HAS SPRUNG. BUT NOT REALLY. WHEN THE SPANISH MACKEREL SHOW AT THE INLET. THAT'S TRUE SPRING FOR ME!

WE, HAD ZERO CURRENT PRETTY QUICK WITH A LOW AT 7:30am. SO WE MADE A MOVE OR TWO.

NEXT SPOT A FEW SHORTS, AND A COMPLETE ''AZZ-HANDER'' BIG REDFISH, TOOK ME...''YES, ME'' CAN YA BELIEVE THAT?  AROUND A PILING. I HANDED THE ROD TO ROB, AND HE HAD IT ON FOR A MINUTE, THEN HE HANDED IT BACK TO ME AND THE FISH WAS STILL THERE.
JAMMED THE FLOAT-RIG SINKER INTO THE PILING. AND THE FISH WAS STILL FREAKING OUT.
THEN, IT SNAPPED THE 20# LEADER.

A FEW MORE ''SHORT TROUT'', AND THEN A DECENT KEEPER. BEFORE WE LEFT OUT FOR THE DOCK AS THE WIND STATED TO BLOW AT 1:00pm

JUST CAN'T SEEM TO GET ANY ''BIG FISH'' TO THE BOAT LATELY. 

ON SUNDAY AT THE JETTIES HAD A CUSTOMER HOOK INTO SOMETHING ENORMOUS, TO ONLY END UP BREAKING OFF.......A MONSTER BLACK DRUM (????)

HAD A MESSED UP COON AT THE BOAT RAMP THIS MORNING. IT JUST WALKED SLOWLY AROUND ACTING LOST AND BLINDED, KINDA. 

COONS AT THE RAMP ARE NOT A USUAL SIGHTING.

FELT SORRY FOR THE LITTLE DUDE. IT ACTED SICK OR INJURED OR BLINDED.
AND WOULDN'T EAT ANY OFFERINGS WE TOSSED TO IT.

 "JETTYWOLF LIVE" - 3/23/19 

 the Ali brothers fished aboard the JETTYWOLF, and supplied me with some video footage. one part of the footage I could use...but not the ''EVENTFUL'' missing is the tangled lines and a literal hand-lining by Seff, the angler of a 33 inch Redfish into the net! The action on this spot was good, 4 Redfish total, 2 - 33 incher types and 2- ''pups'' that were small and a Speckled Trout. 

 The full moon tides (super flooding) was kicking my butt all week! I ''VERY MUCH DISLIKE'' FISHING THOSE RISING FULL MOON OR NEW MOON STRONG TIDES! 

We stayed away from the parking lot at the inlet intentionally to fish away from crowds. These fish were taken on 1/4 jigheads with a live shrimp in 4 feet of water along structure. 

 ALL UGLY STIK STRIPER RODS, EITHER A DAIWA RYOGA OR FIN-NOR LETHAL-40 SPINNING REEL. 1/4 OZ. GOLD HOOK LEAD HEAD JIG, WITH LIVE SHRIMP.
