Happy New Year, I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season, with that behind us its back to fishing. Kingfish, sailfish, and wahoo, that’s what we need to talk about. This is the time of year for these fish to be moving around a lot looking for the bait fish in the water. It’s time to get your gear ready and target these fish; they will be in depths anywhere from 50-150ft of water. Make sure your reels have plenty of line on them if not replace it because you never can tell when that 60lb wahoo is going to take the bait.
January is here and so is the colder weather. Some of the fish are going to be moving out to deeper waters so you are going to travel further to find the game fish, continue to look for weed lines and other floating debris that the storms have brought in closer to shore.
I don’t even want to talk about the winds, but the bottom fishing bite has been fantastic and I look for that to continue through January. As you know, grouper season is closed until April, catch and release is all we can do. If you are looking to get some amberjacks you are going to have to run out to the 180ft mark. Make sure to take plenty of bait because the sharks will take most of it along with the amberjack.
In closing, I want to remind you all to be safe on the water at all times as this time of year the seas are always rougher.
I will be exploring a NEW fishing area this spring out of Sebastian Inlet. It’s a new area and I hope it will produce fish early and steadily throughout the season.
