Monday July 28th, 2008 Just Passed the 100th Charter Mark for the Year!
This past week Capt. Clay Fishing Charters just passed the 100th Charter mark for the year! It's a little late this year, and I attribute that to the economy, but it is still something I mark with gratitude each year. It's an honor to me to take so many of you fishing here in the Tampa Bay area each year. The hundreds of smiles, photos of fish, and stories that come from you guys fishing with me are things that really keep me going. On with the report... The kids stole the show this week. They out fished "dad" and "mom" at every turn. It didn't matter if the kids were 10 years old or 20 years old. For what ever reason the "kids" had the hot hand. The bite has been a little inconsistent which is sort of common this time of year. for every 4 charters we have that rank in the really good column we have one that defies the status quo and is really slow. That's just the "straight talk express" as John McCain would say. I'm not going to lie to you and tell you that we're going to guarantee that we set records right now. Every day is a little different than the last. I had one day this week where we caught 75 redfish, one where we caught 40 redfish, and one day where we caught 0 redfish. We've had a smattering of snook, trout (although kinda' small, which is normal this time of year), snapper, and grouper thrown in the mix. The good news is that we're having 4 good-great days for every slow day. Which, if I must be very honest, is better than the reports that I am getting from my other guide buddies. So God must be smiling on us as we have been doing rather well for the most part. Redfish are the hot target right now. I look for the bite to get better as fall approaches. That's when they will begin to school up in large groups. Just recently I've seen my first school of reds numbering in the thousands since March. That's a good sign and a good indicator that we MIGHT have an early fall which could lead to ridiculous numbers of redfish catches soon. One thing is for sure, you can't catch fish sitting on the couch. If you want to do some fishing catching soon, you're best bet will be to get an early start by going with me to catch bait. If bait is easy to get we could be fishing by 7am which is well before the sun begins to heat the water to temperatures where the fish get uncomfortable. Let's go fishing!
