Fish House Charters

I had the pleasure of taking Capt Mallory out for a quick one yesterday morning. 45 minutes dock to dock. 17 inch flounder right off the bat. We had a few more classic flounder bites but they were being extra tricky that day. We only left the dock with about a dozen baits. With one bait remaining, Mallory made her drop and hooked a keeper sized scamp inshore and our day was made. We had a couple close friends over to enjoy an easy dinner with us tonight.

Opening weekend this snapper season was a success. All solid repeats to get started on snapper Mr Shannon and Tuck had a great trip and super repeat Tyler and crew whacked em day after day in terrible seas. Honestly I can't rememeber how the opening week of the season went exactly because there were some days forecast to be 5-10 kts and some just a bit more and damn it was rough nearly the whole week. One day we got out there and plowed thru a big 1-2 and by the time we started putting fish in the box the bouy was logging 4.9' seas for the median high wave height. Also had some other business to take care of. I asked if I was the only one to come in covered in snapper slime and blood and sign papers and it was confirmed. Many more overdue pics to come but we are getting em and I think i know where the silverware drawer is now.

Today's group got em! Got our snapper early and seemed to get cut off by a shark on the first drop after hooking up but we got our keepers and got out of there. Slow bite for our bycatch targets after we got our snapper but they made solid drops til the end and added a nice lane snapper to top the box. We saw the most defined weedline I've ever seen close to the beach and we had to spend some time working it before getting out to the snapper grounds. Thank you Mike, Mikey and Chris for another great trip!

One of my favorite things in the world is to recieve a picture of fish dinner. Specifically, one that I got to play a part in bringing it closer to the table. That fish dinner to me, is the exclamation point, a perfect conclusion to the process with nothing left but to enjoy the treat and savor the success and memories. Feel free to share your fish dinner here. This group always has a great time no matter the conditions and boy were we tested this time. This was Wednesday when it was rough to start and ended up blowing 20-25 knots steady for the rest of the morning.

Excellent quick offshore trip today with super repeats this morning. It felt like the first day we actually had a chance to snapper fish with the weather, seas, and the taxman being everywhere. Check out Tuck's Graysby. He said he wanted a grouper after we finished our red snapper limit. So we picked a needle from the haystack and a big ol black snapper to top the box.

We had a very fun trip today with Kaylin's group referred by a close mutual friend. We ran across one of the most interesting pieces of debris I've ever seen and caught quite a few mahi and we let all the peanuts go and kept a couple of the bigger ones. Also while bottom fishing we found 2 graysby, a smaller species of grouper, and one was about as big as they come. Also a nice lane snapper and a little almaco jack sweetened up the bag for us on top of the mingos.

Got em! Channing completing his inshore slam.
