Cool air coming with rough winds

Do you all know what time it is? It's time for the Good Catch Fishing Report with Captain Dylan Hubbard over at Hubbard's Marina. Hey, Dylan, how you doing, man? I am doing well. A little depressed. We had a nice run of weather, and now it's over. Okay, okay. Well, first of all, how was the vacation? How was the vacation? It was awesome. It was great getting a little bit of cool air and didn't have to come to Florida and get all rough. Now we're going to get the cool air here, but unfortunately here it doesn't get cool unless we have some of that wind, and that's going to rough things up for us. Well, let's talk about it. How is that going to affect things? And you can also just start telling us what you're catching. All right, right now, this past week has been beautiful and that beautiful weather finally allowed us to really do some great catching. We had a really long push of some bad weather. That hurricane kind of moved past us and then we had windy conditions for almost three weeks. And then finally we had this little weather window and this time of year when you get those weather windows, the fish just come alive. Everything got really excited and the fish were chewing everywhere inshore, nearshore and offshore. Inshore this past week, we saw a really good push of those trout. The trout bite was insane around the area. Some pretty big trout caught. Also, the snook action was really good in the upper and back bay areas. We saw lots of redfish action, really consistent throughout the area, especially around those oyster bars, mangrove shorelines, grass flats. We also saw some good flounder action, a couple of those pompano, and lots of mackerel inshore. It was a great time inshore, and that's about it inshore, right? All right, let's do a nearshore and offshore. Near shore, things really got heated up as water temperatures have really, really climbed into the lower to mid-70s. We saw the mackerel virtually everywhere along the beaches. If you can find the bait, you can find the birds. There's tons of mackerel, sometimes bluefish, sometimes bonita, but a lot of mackerel mixed in, and we're even starting to see those kingfish really consistently lately, too. Also, on top of that, we've been seeing the hogfish action really start to pick up more more each week consistently right around 40 to about 80 foot of water is a great area to look for those hogfish with live shrimp and lighter tackle. We're seeing good numbers of lane snapper in the mix some nice mangrove snapper too and a couple of those red grouper and have that flat line out for that occasional passing kingfish or big mackerel. Offshore we finally were able to get back offshore and we found those big red grouper waiting for us. Lots of good red grouper numbers really consistent mangrove snapper. We saw some big yellow tails in the mix, plenty of almacos, vermilions, and porgies too. Plus the pelagic action was on fire. Lots of blackfin tuna around. We saw one area, it was almost a whole football field of just nothing but blackfin tuna and bonita busting on the surface. It was super exciting. We've seen a couple of those nice kingfish and you got a chance for those wahoo out there too. So great opportunities offshore. Sure. Unfortunately, this next week, the next five to seven days, 10 days are going to be a little bit tougher, dealing with that quarter moon and all this changing weather and the barrage of cold fronts. So we're going to spend this week getting prepared for hopefully another weather window coming up. This time of year, time your trips around the weather and capitalize on those small weather windows to make hay while the sun is shining and catch as many as you can. But don't forget, Russell. Say it with me, everybody. What's that, Dylan? Is that Dylan? If you're too busy to go fishing, you're just too darn busy. Hopefully you get a chance to get out and enjoy this weather while we have it. Okay, great, great. Glad to have you with us. Glad you had a great trip. And we'll talk soon, okay? Thanks.
