June is in the books and what a great month it was for
inshore fishing. Where do I begin? Since I like trout fishing so much, let’s
talk about all the big trout caught this month. The entire month was great for
big fish. The biggest trout landed this June was 26.5” around 6 lbs. On
average, the fish ranged from 14” to 18” with a few over 20”. Some days we’re catching some days we’re
fishing, but no matter the outcome we had fun. Not only was the trout bite
exceptional in June; I had some really good redfish days too.
As June
progressed and the water temperature got hotter, the ladyfish and bluefish
showed up. In June and July due to the hot temps, I have to start my inshore
trips around 5am and end them around 9:45. My afternoon trips started around
3:15 pm and ended around 7:45pm. Both trips have been very productive for
trout, reds with some ladyfish and bluefish mixed in.
July will be similar to June’s trips due to the summer heat.
If you’re looking for a professional inshore trip, then you’ve come to the
right place. I pride myself on my knowledge on how to catch inshore fish on
artificials and having top notch equipment like my Shimano Stradics and the
best lures on the market that catch fish, including ZMan Baits and MirrOlure
Baits. These two companies have been helping me put big fish in the boat for
years. Oh, and I also own one of the finest boats around: the 240 LTS TRITON
matched up with a 250 J Mercury Verado.
With my knowledge of our fishery, my tackle, and my Triton I
can assure you’ll have the most professional trip possible.
Hope everyone has a Happy 4th of July.

Summer has definitely arrived with temps in the low 80’s in
the morning and reaching near 90 around noon. This is why I’m starting my trips
at 5 –5:30am and done by 9:30-10am. I’m also running late afternoon trips
starting at 3:30 and ending around 8pm. Both trips have been very productive
with lots of bent rods and smiles all around. I’ve had to change up my tactics
over the past two weeks due to the flats heating up pretty quickly with the dog
days of summer. Each trip has its own challenges; windy and sunny one day, and
cloudy and overcast another. I watch the weather and marine reports very
closely, so I am able to adjust things so my clients can have a productive
trip. The trout bite has been great the past few weeks with fish as large as
26” coming over the gunnel. Not only has the trout bite been very good, some
nice redfish and black drum are also making appearances.
June has started out great other than dealing with the hot
temps, but I don’t think my clients mind sweating as their rods bend over with
a big redfish on.
Stay tuned for more reports.. Tight Lines... John
