Fishing Reports, Latest Detailed Saltwater Fishing Reports

Fishing reports for saltwater anglers submitted by sportsmen that know their fishing. We receive detailed saltwater and freshwater fishing reports from average anglers, charter boat Captains, and experienced fishing guides. We pass these reports on to you as soon as we receive them so you can rest assured that your fishing infirmation is up-to-date and current. We know a fishing report of what an angler caught yesterday may not help you catch the same species of fish today because fish move, the bite changes, and water conditions can change dramatically. But a good detailed fishing report can give you a general idea of where the fish are biting and what lures or tackle they might be hitting.

We currently receive reports and forecasts for most saltwater cities that would include well known localities or "fishing holes" that you here about all the time. We receive Chesapeake Bay fishing reports for Maryland and Virginia, North Carolina fishing reports in the Outer Banks which includes Cape Hatteras Island, Ocracoke, Atlantic and Topsail Beach NC and that's just a small sample as we have reports from Florida's Fort Pierce to Alask'a Kenai Peninsula. So check back daily for your regions up-to-date report and remember if your region isn't posted please post your own fishing report for your home town.

The most recent saltwater fishing reports are shown first. These are the latest fishing reports for the all categories list. We carry deep sea and saltwater sport fishing reports for all inshore and offshore coastal regions. If you do not see a report for your region it just means we don't have any reporters for that area which also means you would be the first so please feel free to post a report for your fishing region.
Please Enjoy our Fishing Reports!

Fishing Report:   One of our best clients, Jon Clement came down again for a “mental health” day. It’s his term for a day on the water, by himself, to unwind from his rat-race travel schedule. Jon is not one for pictures so I will make this short and sweet.

Jon arrived at the normal time and we shoved off aboard The BEAST. We hit the Hardtail spots and gathered some baits quickly then moved out to the patches to see if we could find some Ballyhoo. The ’hoo’s have been few and far between lately. We only managed to catch 18, so we moved on.

The blue water conditions were good with some wave action but not uncomfortable. We caught 2 Bluefish in the 13# class, that were left over from that unusual run we had here earlier. Jon wanted Dolphin, Sailfish, Blackfin, etc, not Bluefish. The fishing was slow but the company was great, as usual. We hit the wrecks for a few minutes to get some pull on the lines. Actually trying for some Permit or Cobia, we only managed to land 2 big AJ’s. Enough! Time moved slowly as did the fishing. We managed to land a nice 10# Blackfin Tuna, a 20# ‘Cuda and right at the end of the day Jon hooked up an energetic Sailfish. This fish was off to the races, with multiple jumps and runs. Before we could clear the lines and get on the fish, it had taken about 250 yards of line. The spool was nearly empty as I got The BEAST turned around. The fish made one last jump, breaking the line. Jon was jet lag tired and called it a day

Fishing Report:   Milwaukee Fishing Lake Michigan Salmon Report 5/17/13

By Milwaukee Wisconsin fishing charter Capt. Jim Hirt
Coho Fever Epidemic in Milwaukee!
Had fantastic action on Coho Salmon. To get my fish reports and how to videos first go to http://www.jimhirt.com By subscribing you will keep ahead of the other anglers. When I post you will get it fast!

How
Coho are coming on all size spoons. Reapers and Vulcans made by http://www.badgertackle.com have been working for us. The small silver Vulcan has been hot on the lead cores. Six inch flashers or dodgers with green or blue Howies peanut flies must be part of your presentation for Coho. A hot presentation for us was a size O orange dodger with a 21.5 inch lead to a medium size blue fly. Coho are in the top 35 feet and Chinooks are 30 to 45 down. Steady action on Slide Divers set to #3 no ring and 35 feet of line out. Run 2,3,4,and 5 color Cortland lead core and downriggers 12 to 48 feet down. Speed has been very critical with the 46 degree water. I use the Depth Raider to measure speed at the ball. For spoons use the regular size Silver Vulcan. The big Chinook are hitting on Reaper Magnum Glow spoons. The boat speed of 1.9 to 2.2 has been best. Tie your flies 14.5 inches on 6 inch dodgers, 24 inches for 6 inch flashers. All orange dodgers and flashers. I hope this helps.

Where!
Fish are sucked up to the break wall and all the way out north

Fishing Report:   Fishing Fort Lauderdale on Happy Day Today with Capt. Zsak

Steve Meek and David Johnson, co-founders of Fulcrum Group from Keller, TX, and associates were in Fort Lauderdale FL attending the VentureTech Network convention and decided to do some deep sea sport fishing in Fort Lauderdale aboard the Happy Day Today along with the Topshotfishing team. We had winds out of the east at 7 mph and indigo blue waters on the 2nd reef with 1-2 ft seas.

Fifteen minutes after leaving the dock, lines were in the water at the sea buoy in Fort Lauderdale FL in 120 ft. water. We started trolling, and our first strike came very quickly, with a 15 lb. Black Fin Tuna, followed by a mixture of Bonitos and more Tunas. With close to 15 fish in the boat, it was time to put the kite up and see if we could get lucky and catch a Sailfish.

We put two kites out, two live Goggle Eyes from each kite, waiting for the black predator to appear. Right Short!!! – Dorsal and bill out of the water as this aggressive Sailfish ferociously charged the bait, attacking and eating it in a blink of an eye. Off he went, as he jumped out of the water and tail-walked with the sun reflecting on his neon colors!!! Steve was the angler on this Sailfish, and he showed us his angling abilities by bringing in the Sailfish in a short amount of time. This Sailfish measured 90” - pictures were taken and the Sailfish was released to fight again.

With smiles

Fishing Report:   The good news around Beach Haven is the continued presence of striped bass in the bay and inlet waters. Some catches of larger bass, 50-plus pounds, just north of Long Beach Island, bodes well for those big spring bass for ocean anglers trolling and jigging with live bunker. In addition to the bass, the bay is loaded with bluefish and a goodly number of weakfish
The captains of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association are also looking forward to the beginning of the summer flounder and black sea bass seasons.
Captain Fran Verdi on the “Francesca Marie” reports finding good action on those stripers and bluefish in the bay in addition to some black drumfish. He ran an open boat trip recently where he had two keeper bass and another 7 throwbacks. They also boated 10 bluefish, three of which were kept for the dinner table.
Captain Bob Gerkens of the “Hot Tuna” wants his loyal anglers to know that final Hurricane Sandy repairs are being completed in North Carolina and he should have his boat back in New Jersey later this month.

Fishing Report:   Hopefully you had a great Mother's Day and were able to spend some quality time with family and also get in some fishing time. The action has been steadily heating up over the last month and it seems that it may have peaked over the last few days. Take your pick from mahi (dolphin), kingfish, blackfin tuna, and sailfish. These are just some of the species being caught as I write this report. Most of the time I haven't even been able to get the bottom rod down but I'm sure that if I did it would result in a nice mutton snapper or grouper.

Closer to shore there are still plenty of tarpon around with the largest specimens hanging around the beaches and inlets. Night fishing for yellowtail snapper and muttons has also been very good and should continue to improve as we head into the month of June. Big mangrove snapper will also start moving in to the reefs very soon and will hang out there most of the summer.

On recent trips we've had very steady action with very little down time. We are still averaging at least 2-3 sailfish on full days at least one on half or afternoon trips. On Saturday I had the pleasure of fishing with JJ and his son Jr. Over the last three or four years this duo have caught quite an assortment of fish while fishing with me. Last year we fished the Columbus High School tournament and did very well with the top kingfish and top tuna. This year we once again competed and put together a nice catch. Our game plan was adjusted at

Fishing Report:   Monday, 4/29/13, seas were supposed to be two-to three feet, out to sixty miles, when I headed offshore with Scott Savaraid and four of his friends. But it was a lot rougher than that, in windy conditions, and we ventured out to 18 miles, where the group used live shrimp to catch fifteen keeper lane snapper, nine whitebone porgies, and a mess of grunts. All in all, they caught about thirty fish, so they had plenty to eat. They released lots of red grouper shorts and two amberjack at 16 and 18 inches. Scott plans to fish with me again on Wednesday, and seas are predicted to be calm that day.

Tuesday morning, the only rain showing up on radar was way south of us, around Marco Island. But, as I headed out with Ron Musick, Eddie Alfonso, Bob Mayer and friend, Ray, a light rain had begun. It got heavier too, but we idled out for a while so as not to get soaked, and finally got through it to clearer skies. We fished between 19 and 22 miles west of New Pass. One of my favorite red grouper spots was invaded by dolphins, which put a quick end to fishing there. But Eddie caught two gag grouper, 23 inches and 28 inches, which we released due to closed season. He also released a 5-foot sandbar shark. The group caught twenty keeper lane snapper and a mess of grunts and porgies, using live shrimp.

Wednesday, I remained in port, due to a last minute cancellation. And, Thursday, it rained relentlessly all day long, causing me to reschedule a backwater trip

Fishing Report:   Fishing Fort Lauderdale on Happy Day Today with Capt. Zsak

Matt Cleveland and Darric Hawkins, together with four other co-workers from Genbev, a distributor of beverages, were in Fort Lauderdale FL for their annual convention and while here chartered the Happy Day Today along with the Topshotfishing team to do some deep sea sport fishing in Fort Lauderdale, FL. We had winds out of the east at 5 miles an hour, blue skies, with 2 ft. seas. We stopped and purchased a dozen live Goggle Eyes from T&T Bait on our way out to the fishing ground. Fifteen minutes after leaving the dock, lines were in the water at the sea buoy that sits in 120 ft. of water off of Fort Lauderdale, FL.

There was very little current that day, so I trolled towards some of our artificial wrecks located in Fort Lauderdale FL, ranging from 60 ft. deep to 420 ft. deep. I had two plainers down both with Bonito strips and sea witches and for surface baits I went with four Ballyhoos. Trolling around the artificial wrecks, the anglers caught a dozen Bonitos and Kingfish. With the winds finally picking up, it was time to fly the kites. We positioned ourselves over one of the artificial wrecks that’s located in 145 ft of water with two kites flying, two live Goggle Eyes from each kite and one from the rigger. The anglers were enjoying their beers while waiting for the black shadow. Right Long!!!! Dorsal and bill out of the water as an aggressive Sailfish charged the live

Fishing Report:   Jc Sportfishing Weekly Fish Report.
As the Admiral Seas It
Fishing Report: 5/7/13 to 5/13/13
.
Now is the time to come to Cabo as the fishing is still really good and not only that there is some really good deals on airfares lately as Spirit Airlines has some really good deals. You might want to look into this and also if you are in LA or San Diego you might think about flying out of Tijuana as the rates are much cheaper for TJ to Cabo, just something to think about.
Jc Sportfishing Charters is a family owned and operated business and has been fishing in Cabo San Lucas for the past 18 years. Jerry, explains that his charter business is geared more for families and novice anglers, making sure everyone who charters a boat with him has a great time and lots of fun. We welcome families and groups. We want everyone who fishes with us to take all the sites in and have memorable experience. This is what is most important to us. We have and do a few tournaments each year and can cater to fisherman who might be interested in tournament fishing. Lets get on with the report for this past week.
WATER: Fishing has turned around really cause the water has warmed up in some areas. Form Gordo Banks to the Arch there was water 76 degrees in most areas. Still on the Pacific side temperatures were in the high 60,s. We are thinking we will start to see fishing really pick up as the days are getting warmer and we are

Fishing Report:   Wrightsville Beach & Topsail Beach, NC Fishing Report 5/7 (short version)
The Bigger Flounder have moved in to the backwaters this week in good numbers! We kept a good number of large Backwater Flounder which were aggressively hitting soft plastics pinned to a jig head... we boated numerous Speckled Trout & Red Drum as well. Specks came on Billy Bay Halo Baits scented with ProCure Mullet. The majority of our Red Drum came on on Jerk Shads with weighted Gami hooks. Lots of Bluefish at the WB Jetty.. Both the Kids (Family Fishing Trips) and Adults had a BLAST with the constant action. Large schools of Menhaden are now schooling/ migrating off our coast and were washing over the North Wrightsville Beach Jetty wall.

Wrightsville Beach, NC Fishing Report (Detailed Version)
Fishing for and more importantly CATCHING BIG Flounder is by far one of my favorite types of angling due to what I term the “Recipe For Success”.

In successful Flounder Fishing, once you have obtained the knowledge (some call it “secrets” and speaking in terms of the What, Where, When, Why, How) combined with the on the water experience you can successfully target LARGE Flounder on a consistent basis.

When Flounder Fishing, portion of the “Recipe” is Variable & the other is Consistent.

Variable includes but not limited to: Seasons, Water Temp, Bait Type & Current Diet, Weather, Water Clarity, Depth, Turbidity, Salinity, DO Levels (the

Fishing Report:   Inshore:

We have enjoyed some fantastic weather along the Treasure Coast this week. After dodging rain storms for last week, it was nice to see the sun shining bright across the water. Mild temperatures and light winds have made for some great fishing weather for anglers and the fish have cooperated for us this week. Looks like this will continue for a while, so it\'s time to enjoy some fun, sun and fishing!

Sea trout continue to be one of our best bites. We continue to find some big trout on the flats up to the 30\" range. Top water, DOA shrimp or live bait can help you get hooked up on a big gator trout this month. Don was back out again this week trying to top his 30\" trout from last week. He came close with a 28\" gator and a few other in the 20\" range. Try flats that are two to four feet in depth that have plenty of sand holes scattered around. We have released all our big trout this week. Our redfish bite picked up the first part of the week. John and Carl boated seven redfish up to 24\" on their fishing adventure. All came from under the docks or mangroves this week. Our best bite has been on the outgoing tides lately.

The bluefish and jacks invaded the river in numbers this week. Francis and Brenda found lots of them on the flats and around the docks this week. It makes it hard to trout fish when these hungry fish are in the area. You can find jacks and bluefish from the inlets to just about anywhere on
