So the weather for this past few weeks has been a bit unpredictable. We have had some of the nicest days of the "winter", if you can even call what we have in the keys winter, and some of the worst. Some days have been flat calm and quite summer like, and some have been very windy and down right cold for our thin Island blood. But with the help of our shallow protected bay and my AMAZING Skeeter bay boat ,with 22 and a half feet of chop eating awesomeness, weather doesn't often scare or stop me. When offshore and shallow poling skiffs can't go I can and WILL. Some of my better days have been when it was not ideal weather. The fish are still there and although it may slow the bite for some species others heat up and go on the feed. A few things you need to try to remember when the weather may not be exactly what you hoped for.
1. Just because the day is not what you pictured in your head when you booked your charter don't let it get your spirits down, or change your attitude. You CAN still have a fun and productive day.
2. If you dress appropriately it will make your day that much better. I know that you may not have planned to need a hoodie or a jacket on your Florida Keys vacation, but if you are comfortable it will be easier to keep a positive attitude.
3. Definitely the most important is to listen to your Capt. weather it be myself or whomever you may be chartering. What that means is you may need to be a little more flexible on the species of fish that you are wanting to target. The captain will know best what species will cooperate best in what situation. If you try to be to narrow in your quest you risk a greater chance of disappointment.
4. HAVE FUN... Isn't that what it is all about anyway.
SO I know this isn't actually a fishing report per say, but I feel like it will help us all in the long run
Here are some Pics of the last few weeks of chartering!
