Tip of the Month – Patience

Capt. Bill with one completely worth the wait!

As a guide, I see it all the time…the lack of patience by customers. Everyone wants to catch fish every minute of their fishing trip. Although you can keep extremely fast paced action by fishing for certain species, Spanish mackerel, ladyfish, snapper, etc, these are not typically desirable catches and certainly not “wall-mounter” fish.  People get too impatient and many times miss out on the opportunity for the fish of a lifetime because they do not want to wait them out.  Big fish didn’t get big by being dumb, so more often than not it will take a lot more effort to catch them.  Have patience, soak big baits, and relax and you will be surprised by the increased size and quality of your catches. The bite is moving into our Fall pattern so get out there and catch them up!
