Jacksonville - Saltwater Fishing Report
10/30 - GALE FORCE GUSTS!!
I was up at 5am. I turned on the weather radio and the laptop to do a weather check......but did I really have too? Not really. Being just a mile from the river and close to the open marsh land, I could hear the wind whistling through the trees, inside the house. And then I stepped outside......"holy moses, this is some BIG wind."
The weather guessers got this right for sure. When giant oaks are blowing around, there is no doubt. This is a windy day.
I had Tom and his girlfriend booked for a week now. I told Tom who had ONE day to fish, "I have a feeling Sunday is gonna be bad."
As I talked to him on the phone on Saturday afternoon, I said. "I have a plan for us. I've been holding on to a spot jus' for this kind of occasion....astronomically high tide with the New moon, and a gusting gale force N.E. wind. So pack your wind breakers, your gonna need it."
I pulled into the boat ramp at 8am, and right behind me was Tom and Sue........over a 1/2 hour early!!! Now that's what I'm talkin' about. Ready to go, and dressed for success. The winds brought some cooler air along with it. And that's one thing I'll never complain about.
Tom's fished before, but Sue has never fished or even caught a fish. And what a day to be a "FIRST-TIMER". We ran down river and like usual, I was putting all my marbles in one sack. This area I was heading too, had to work. We didn't have all that many alternatives. And it was mandatory, Sue had to have FUN, and catch her first fish.
She out fished Tom and we had a great time!
Just what I had planned for.

My "kids trips" (rates & days: www.fish-jacksonville-fishing.com)
Had 4 year old Jake aboard the Jettywolf, along with his dad Troy for a two hour trip, before the wind started blowing.
Lil' Jake had so much fun pulling in Croakers, Seabass, and other small biters. He was all smiles, and actually looked a bit "sleepy" afterwards, from all the excitment.
