South Again Charters / 25 Sept 2011

The fish are biting!!! Went on a Scouting trip yesterday with a couple good friends of mine. Bryson, Mark and I left out of Shoreline Park at around 0630 and headed off in search of bait. In no time we had a livewell full of Pinfish, Hardtails and Threadfin, with the bait situation covered we pointed the boat SE and blasted off. It was a beautiful morning with very calm seas and very mild temperatures.

We had one of the wildest days ever, seemed like everything we tried worked. The idea was to locate some new spots that I don’t usually fish for some upcoming charters and put a few fish in the cooler for Bryson and Mark. Out of 7 of the 8 wrecks we fished all were holding Grouper and really nice Snapper. Two were holding some smaller legal Jacks and Triggers. After hitting all the planned spots we were running back in to the Triggerfish hole to put a few fish in the box when we ran over a really nice trash line at about 7 miles Due South of Pensacola Pass.

Three or four logs all together were holding tons of nice size chicken dolphin and one log was holding 8-10 Tripletail. After boating a dozen or so of the Dolphin we went after the Tripletail. We boated 5 of them fairly quickly they were just all an inch or two shy of legal.

This was a great day on the water, a great success as a scouting trip and a wonderful day spent with Friends solving the Worlds problems!!!

Thanks Bryson and Mark for the company, lets do it again real soon.

……………………….. See you out there

After a week off, South Again Charters was back on the water! Joined by Greg, Lindsey, Patrick, Rob and Michelle we headed towards the Pass on a 4 hour AJ trip. Luckily we found the hard tails fairly thick around the Pass and were able to fill the well in a very short period of time.

After gathering our bait we pointed the boat South for our quick 7 mile run, first drop of the morning was a triple hook up!!! Two Jacks and a very nice Snapper! The bite stayed hot for us for about 2 hours Boating a total of 6 Jacks and a few nice Snapper! Once the AJ bite slowed down we tried a few Snapper spots looking for triggers and Black Snapper but just couldn’t get em to cooperate!

Another great day on the water!

South Again Charters / 7 August 2011 – Scouting trip

Filed Under: Brad King, Fishing Reports, Offshore Reports

Aug.07, 2011

No charter booked today so Dawna and I raced offshore this morning to scout for new spots. Since Inshore guides are not allowed to take charters outside of State waters we have to spend alot of time looking for very productive spots inside the 9 mile mark. The plan today was to try and find some new Snapper spots for next season and some AJ spots for the remainder of this season.

I would have to say that we had a very productive day scouting! We locayed three new wrecks that I usually do not fish and caught a ton of beautiful Snapper and all three were holding some Jacks. We were whooped by most of them and just couldn’t get them turned but Dawna did manage to boat one nice one around 0900!

All in all a great scouting trip with my girl!!

………………………..See you out there

South Again Charters / 4&5 August 2011

Another couple fun trips! i have been running alot of 4 hour trips here lately and having pretty good success in the short window! Thursday was a fun Spanish mackerel trip. We fished down the Beach to the East and found very large schools of Spanish. Lure selection did not seem to make a big difference. We threw Diamond Jigs and Pompano jigs mostly! With about 30 minutes left we hit the Flounder hole and quickly boated one small fish and lost another near the boat.

Yesterday was the coolest trip you can get!! A catch and release Snapper trip. We ran about 7 miles SE and quickly began catching and releasing Snapper. I had hoped the guys would catch some monsters but it seemed like the 4 – 6lbers were all we could find! It was a great trip! Here are a few pics from yesterday!

South Again Charters / 25 July 2011

Filed Under: Brad King, Fishing Reports, Offshore Reports

Jul.25, 2011

After a brief vacation, South Again was back on the water today!! It was an awesome day to be on the water and an even better day to be fishing. Today I was joined by Chuck and Charles Long and Brent Trout for a 6 hour offshore trip.

The Gulf has been very calm lately and I have been trying to take advantage of it as much as possible. The plan today was to troll up a few Kings and then the Guys wanted to pull on a few Red Snapper. Being from Arkansas they have never seen alot of our famous fish and wanted to see them all. After making bait we started to troll. While I was setting the spread out the first bait was hammered. It turned out to be a very small King so we let him go to fight another day, shortly after things got good. We caught Kings and LARGE Spanish for about 2 solid hours. Our biggest Spanish was close to 6 lbs and our biggest King was only around 15lb.

With a box full we headed offshore and caught and released Red Snapper and Gag Grouper for another couple of hours. I tried to get the guys on a few Amberjack but my spot had been over run by Snapper. With an hour left on the clock I ran back inshore to a little place that has been holding alot of Lane Snapper and we put four in the box really quick. With a box full of fish and sore arms we headed back to the dock!!

Another great day!

……………………….. See you out there

Today was a really fun trip. Jonny, Matt and Alex joined me for a 6 hour Bottom Fishing trip. With Snapper season over we knew starting out that they would be the star of the day. The guys wanted to pull on some good fish and put a few eaters in the box for dinner.

First spot was exactly what you would expect with every bait resulting in a Snapper. We switched over to cut bait and tried to land a few Triggers but it seemed like everyone was 3/4″ to short. After a quick move we starting catching Snapper again with a few Whites mixed in. With the whites biting good I stayed until the guys said that they had enough. We then went back into big fish mode. We had bad luck with the big fish, Some of my best spots didn’t produce and the bites we did get we just couldn’t seem to turn them. After one last move we set up in an extremely Nearshore wreck and chummed about 2 dozen nice snapper up to the surface and had a blast catching and releasing 8 – 10 lb Snapper every cast! It was really cool to have them up behind the boat like that, we even had a few large jacks and Kings get in the mix. We did hook one of the Jacks but in such shallow water he had us back in the structure in no time!!

Another great trip with a great crew

……………………. See you out there
