2006 Summer Report
OFFSHORE The Summer has come on strong. It was a
little slow to start but when it started we couldn't stop it, not that we wanted to. The Spring fish were medium sized fish, although we
shouldn't complain, they were some great fights. BUT, the Summer fish are still going in the fall. We are catching fish like Kingfish, and
I dont't mean just snakes, but huge 55 pound, and another 58.68 pounder, and Cobia over 50 pounds. Now, these fish usually play out and
go North or to deeper cooler waters about mid July, but they are still coming in the middle of August with no sign of stopping. We may run
right into the Fall, October season without a let up. Of course this makes us extremely happy, and our customers as well. We still have
a great amount of small and medium sized bait here. It is unusual at this time of year for so much baitfish to be present on the short
reefs, but they are loaded, and this is keeping the Kings, Little Tuny, Cobia, Shark, and some Dolphin around. We had a great Dolphin
season also, and landed many in the 10 to 12 pound size late. We are still looking forward to the Dolphin in the late Fall, which we sometimes
get. Well, come and try it. It has been great so far.
