Subject: Fishing Report of 3-31-03
Apalachicola, St. George Island to St. Marks, Florida -- Offshore
Well, finally DEBO TOO’s rain delayed improvements will be completed Monday and we will be getting her back to her slip. And, she will be quieter, faster and pure white, slick and shiny inside and out. She, like Debo and myself are more than ready to get back into action.
In checking with our buddies who have run a few charters in the last week or so, the fish seem to be trying to decide if they want to feed or not. One day, they will bite pretty good, the next day they just mill about under the boat acting pretty indifferent to whatever baits are sent to them.
Some captains have had good success with grouper in shallower waters (38’ to 52’) while others who have worked deeper spots (60’ to 85’) have found good concentrations of red snapper. Course, we can’t keep the red snapper in federal waters until the 21st of April and most certainly those fish know that. The better educated red snappers will also read the paper on the 20th and vamoose on the 21st. No fear though, we’ll find our fair share of those bad boys.
There have been some good catches of spanish macks around the east pass between St. George and Dog Island in the last couple of days. I haven’t heard of any kings being caught, but rest assured, they are hot on the trail of their smaller cousins.
I am really looking forward to giving you first hand reports of the action beginning next week.
I have saved the best news for last. An old investment has come through for Debo and I allowing us to pay DEBO TOO off. Now, by not having the heavy-duty monthly payments, I will be able to go back to my pricing structure of last year.
That is, $800.00 for a full day and $550.00 for a half day. The change will, of course, be retroactive for all our 40 or so groups of clients who have already reserved their day with us for the coming season.
It pleases us a great deal to be able to do this.
Take those kids fishing
&
Catch Em’ Up!
