The weather has finally calmed enough to give a fishing report instead of a surfing report. Just a side note, but I did go surfing at Sunset Beach last Tuesday- Surf was 2-3 foot with offshore winds. It was nice to paddle out and get in the line-up.
Fishing today was outstanding and a welcome surprise as usually everything changes with windy conditions like we experienced earlier in the week. Bait was easy and we only went to one spot. My party just wanted action and to have fun catching fish so here is the catch list. From one anchor setting we caught Spanish mackerel, bluefish, trout, ladyfish, cobia, remora, shark, a lane snapper.
We fished over deeper grass beds of around 5-to 6-feet and set up a chum line with a frozen chum block and occasional handfuls of live bait squeezed and tossed out to swim in enticing little circles. The chumming brought the fish right to the transom where we caught one after another none stop for three hours. The ladies even had to sit down and take a break to rest their arms.
