Big Drum

Went down south today with my brother Matt and our buddy Tilford.  Found a school of big drum early in the day and plucked one out of it. Spent the rest of the day looking at the ocean.  Saw some big black drum, blues, albies, and plenty of other life.   So glad the temps are warming up and things are heating up!  Call me – lets go fishing.

Dinner!

It sure was nice to bring some fresh fish home for dinner for a change.  90% of the reds we are catching are over the slot size and have to get released.  This striper went from the cooler to the oven this evening.

Cobia Make-Up trips

I’ve had multiple requests from 1 or 2 anglers that are interested in Cobia fishing this spring, and are also interested in splitting the trip with other anglers.  This is a great opportunity to get out there, save some money, and meet some new people.  So I am starting with 2 Saturdays at the end of May to put trips together.  These are 8+ hour trips / 4 anglers / $700.  The cost is $175 per person, and a $100 deposit is required to lock in your spot.  If conditions do not allow us to get out and look for cobia – your deposit will be refunded. Thanks – Details below.  YOU CAN DO YOUR OWN CASTING ON FISH!  It is not all about how many dead fish we have on the dock at the end of the trip – it’s about you having an enjoyable experience. If you want to cast on fish – you are more then welcome to.  Call me if you have any questions.

Saturday May 23rd – 3 Spots open

Saturday May 30th – FULL

Thank YOU!!

I just wanted to thank those of you who follow the site, fish with me, or booked with me for 2015.  This site has grown to well over 100 hits a day and my pre-season charter bookings are the highest they’ve ever been.  I am so pumped to get back on the water and gets some lines stretched out for you guys!  If you have any questions about a charter please give me a call – I can tell you everything to expect on a trip with Salt Minded Charters!  We all had a long winter so give me a call and treat yourself to a day on the water! Summer dates are filling up.

Oh Crappie!

The weather has been so nice lately! Loving it!!!! The saltwater species should be showing up real soon as the water temps continue to climb.  I imagine there is a drum to be caught for those looking to do a recon mission.  In the mean time I get my fix in the sweetwater.  Here is a nice crappie I caught yesterday while I was bass fishing.  Thanks for checking and it’s time to book your trip!  I have 10 days booked in May and another 11 days booked in June, and 5 days booked in July.  Don’t wait til you get here to book or you will probably end up fishing from the pier. Call me !
