two storms passed.....

8/29/2014 Capt Dave's Sport Fishing Jacksonville Fl TWO PASSING STORMS LATER...... and all is still good in J-ville! I'm sure more is to come. But I kinda like the every once in a while "cocktail" mixing. That's what it's like, where I fish. One day after another of HOT, HUMID, and S.E. sea breeze, and rains between noon and 5pm can get a little boring. Throw in a passing Hurricane or Tropical Storm here and there and at least we get a change in weather! It'll be this way from here on out till at least late October. The summer mixture basically remains the same, except if I happen to have days booked when a storm is doing it's "passing by". Just the other day during Hurricane Cristobal's passing. The winds were up to Gale Force, and I had Dan G. booked from the DeeZee corp. Well, fishing the inlet was out of the question. So for the first time since May, I bought LIVE shrimp, and we went down river and fished the shallow rocky shorelines. Pitching "jig-n-shrimp" combo meals the two of us caught Jacks, Ladyfish, small Reds, Mangrove Snappers up to 14", and these 22" Speckled Trout. {%image_id=40075%} {%image_id=40076%} Not bad, not super great. But different from fishing the inlet's jetty rocks. We had a beautiful day. It was just super windy. Thank goodness I wasn't booked doing the "party boat thing" with say 3 adults and a 6 year old!! That may have been a different story by days end. Here's some other Mayport Jetty catches lately... {%image_id=40081%} {%image_id=40080%} {%image_id=40079%} {%image_id=40078%} Then there's Video of some of the past trips: HOT JETTY SUMMER ACTION: http://youtu.be/51LhWNV_gUU RUN & GUN SHRIMP BOAT SHARKIN': http://youtu.be/MI57BV1yYW4 HURRICANE CRISTOBAL PASSING?: http://youtu.be/j2WVRXdVu_4
