Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Report

The fishing in Mosquito Lagoon so far this month has been challenging. The water is high and, in many places, cloudy, making sight fishing difficult. On the positive side, the weather has remained unseasonably warm. This has kept the tarpon around as well as the large schools of baitfish. When you can find the redfish, they are willing to eat and I saw many tailing fish during the past couple weeks.

By the time you read this report, our first significant cold front of the year will be upon us, and changing weather conditions will have an impact on fishing next week.

NC Albie Report

October 12 and 16 2009

Greetings from Albie world:

Fall is here with cooler weather, cloudy skies, light rain to heavy down pours, with Albies feeding well on small silversides along with 3 inch bay anchovies. I got out for 4 hours on October 12, the wind was North East at 15 to 25 knots with off and on rain. Half way between Beaufort inlet and Bardens inlet I found small pods of Albies which were feeding on bay anchovies about 2 1/2 inches long.

Finally some cooler weather is coming our way! As we see the Gulf water temperature drop, we should see the fishing improve. When the water temperature is in the low seventies, I think that is the best for all around fishing.

One of my good customers, Jon, called me early in the week and said he needed a mental health day. This means he wanted to go fishing by himself with no clients to entertain. He asked if I was available in 2 days, I was, so we reserved the date. He wanted another shot at some Swordfish because his freezer was empty.

Fishing Report

Fishbuster Charters’ Captain Dave Hanson reported, “David Koenigsmark, son Adam, and father-in-law, Hubert, fished offshore with me Thursday, 10/15. We had a full-day so we headed out 37 miles west of New Pass to 74 feet. David had fished with me this summer, but we were bayside to accommodate his younger son.
