The last week and a half have been a bit tough on the water due to unusually high winds in the 20-25 MPH range and huge tides. The bulk of what I was booked for was just catching fish so we did just that but we had to pick our spots due to the wind. The tides were almost well over two feet above normal due to the king tide plus an hard east wind filling the bay with even more water. On two trips we did target bonefish and snook and while we did get a few bites on each, there were no hook ups or landed fish to brag about.
On Halloween I fished with local angler and long time client Alec for a full day. We finally had perfect fall weather and a good tide but still at least 2 feet above normal. We worked quickly through the incoming tide and had shots at small tarpon, saw some bonefish and had a couple of snook bites before looking for pilchards (bait). the finger channels were really hard to fish because of the unusually strong current so we found bait, I loaded up the well and hit a few spots to live chum mutton snappers and yellow jacks. We found a few yellow jacks but no muttons. We wrapped up our trip live chumming for snook and had one hit but ended up catching a nice mangrove snapper instead before we headed back to clean fish for dinner.
