Catching barracuda, king mackerel, & dolphin

Article by: Mark Mayo

Fishing Tip #61320: is on setting the hook for inshore fishing. I have noticed a lot of my charters go into the panic mode when they have a small bite. As soon as the fish comes in contact with the hook, don’t jerk jerk jerk, let the fish pull then set the hook. Keep the tip up in the air & reel steady. Enjoy the time it takes to land the fish. You will catch a lot more fish by not panicking when you get a bite.

What’s Hit’n:

On the piers they are catching about the same as last week. Virginia Mullet, flounder, blue fish, spots, and croakers.

In the surf pompano, flounder, puppy drum, virginia mullet, black drum, blue fish, spots, and sharks.

Inshore we are catching some nice red drum, black drum, blues, flounders, spots, gray trout, speckled trout, and croakers.

Offshore they are catching barracuda, king mackerel, dolphin, and on the bottom some nice groupers , snapper, and black bass.

Keep fishing and be safe.
