Main Goal Accomplished!
As I was introducing Chris and his father Clay Newman to Captain Garrett I had to asked, “What is your main goal today?” Chris quickly replied, “I want to catch a fish that pulls!” Captain Garrett smiled and said, “I will do my best!” First fish hooked up and landed was a nice bonnet head shark, which pulled pretty darn hard. And before Captain Garrett could remove the hook the shark thigh slapped him pretty good. (I saw the imprint that it made on his leg!) After that Captain Garrett moved and the multiple catching started. All together Chris caught two red fish over slot size, 12 red fish under slot size, 3 flounder, 12 spotted sea trout, 5 lady fish, 5 croakers, 1 stingray, and I can’t forget to mention again a thigh slapping bonnet head shark!

Miss Judy Charters Fishing Team is sporting a secret weapon! And each double hook bottom rig has at least one Electron Fish Attractor. I am only using one electron per two hook bottom rig. Why? That’s all you need to get those fish to your hook! But if you want to really go crazy give two Electrons on each rig a try! I found when bottom fishing with 6 to 10 double hook rigs that two on each rig is too many and one is the perfect combination! Now what do I mean by too many? You can figure that out on your own! Where do you get them? www.lifesparkfishingtackle.com Why? I will answer this with a question..When you fish don’t you want your best chances at catching fish? I rest my case! Don’t you think it’s time to order some today?

Artificial Reefs
So far I would like to report that we are having great Spanish mackerel catching season. We have been catching more than not. Now, I also have to report the since we had all of this rain it seems the bite slowed, but the fish are still here in large number. Before the rains fish were being caught away from the structure. However, for the last couple of days they were schooling right over the wrecks not around it. It made catching a little challenging! Why? The fact of the matter is only a few wrecks were holding fish not like before where they were schooling over, above, and around the area. With this being said, “You had to really find the fish’s hold up!”
Christopher Miller blue Ash, Ohio is showing us off his just caught white grunt, which is the true name for this fish. However, back in the old days, way before we started reading fish identification books, we came up with our own names. This fish was called a hog nose snapper. So therefore in my book that is exactly what this is for sure!
Savannah Snapper Banks
The bottom bite has been good, but you might find that to catch you got to stay on the move. A lot of fishermen just drift when fishing at the banks while other prefer going into the anchoring mode. Both methods of drifting or anchoring will work. I prefer the sideway drifting! (Captain Judy) It enables me to put the boat right on top of the fish allowing my customer’s baited hooks to drop right into the strike zone. Now if anchoring is your method situating your boat directly over the school is also a good thing. But when the school moves you move! It as simple as that!
Isolated live bottom spots, which I call “fishing cities”, hold the attentions of lots of different size fish. And they all seem to occupy and feed in the same area. The best news about these areas is if the large fish move they do not go far they just resituated. This would be your sign to move to another spot and come back later!
We have been using small pieces of squid for bait. It seems all size fish prefer a small mouth full! So I suggest giving them what they want! Too much bait on a small hook is going to get the fish’s attention as well as their counter parts. Larger baits require some extra feeding to get to the hook’s barb. So therefore in this case the smaller the bait the bigger the bite!
This is what we call a live bait rig. The rig works great with menhaden, perch, mullet, blue runner pinfish, and blue fish. There are more live baits out there. However, if the live bait used is shorter in length such as cigar minnows, Spanish sardines, and thread fin herring I suggest downsizing length between two hooks. If the bait used such as a ladyfish or ribbonfish also known as cutlass fish you are going to need to add more trailing treble hooks in order to accommodate the length of these baits.
This live rig is made with 30 lb pound test single strand wire. Hooks live bait #2 treble #8 As far as hooks when going with this rig I suggest using the size that doesn’t over power the live bait used.
When drift I suggest always putting out a top water line also referred to a flat line. What? I like using what is commonly called a king rod/reel set up for this situation. I am using 20 pound test main line and a live bait rig. (see live bait rig description above) The secret is to not allow your bait to swim too deep. I suggest keeping 20 feet and up towards the surface. Large king mackerel are upper column water swimmers and are always looking for quick meal. And if they happen up on that one fish that swims alone, well so be it. And what would that be? Your bait in the fish’s mouth!
