November Isles Magazine Fishing Report

November once again – the month of Thanksgiving . Take a moment and make a short list of things you are thankful for. I am thankful that I am able to take anglers and show them what our local fishery has to offer. Also for my family that are still with us and the opportunity to share in this article some of the things that I have learned in the last forty years of fishing S.W. Florida. It is common knowledge that there is red tide that is always in the waters in S.W. Florida and occasionally the conditions become just right and it blooms more than usual. Last year was one of those years. About ten years ago it happened too. So it has been around for a long time in the Gulf. It happens and we rebound from it, until the media get some information and blows it out of proportion and it affects all of S.W. Florida businesses from tackle shops, guides, restaurants, hotels, motels and on and on. This gets picked up by the national news and it is all over the country. Because of this, Alpha & Omega charters has added to the fleet a thirty foot SCARAB to go into the Gulf where the red tide is very minimal if existent. This allows us to go and bottom fish for grouper and snapper. Also the stone crab traps are out and this helps to target triple tail fish that are great eating. The boat is also set up for trolling for cobia, mackerel, dolphin, and tuna. The boat is set up for all these types of fishing so if we see some birds we can stop and investigate. On a normal eight hour trip we can reach thirty miles offshore. This is about eighty feet of water and some good bottom that holds good fish. Also it is the beginning of the holiday season where we have northern visitors coming. We have gift certificates that might be a great gift for those that like to fish and boat while they are visiting Florida. Plus they could bring home some fresh fish to feed the family. Our thirty foot boat has a porta-potty for the ladies so they can spend the day on the boat. We supply bottled water to our anglers and all your fishing tackle too. If you would like to purchase a gift certificate or book a trip call or e-mail Capt Bart Marx 941-979-6517 or captbart@alphaomegacharters.com

And always remember singing drags and tight lines make me smile. <*(((((>{
