Please be sure to check out my YouTube Channel “Darcizzle Offshore” for fishing videos every week!
www.youtube.com/DarcizzleOffshore searching for fish and covering water. Closer to shore, there should be a decent king bite but be sure you target them in the early morning. Using live goggle eyes on a “kingfish rig” or trolling spoons will do the trick to catch kings. Bonita are thick and should remain so through www.USHarbors.com
August, they are lots of fun on light tackle, but if you are not a fan of this fish simply save them up for bait, chunks and strips—they usually get scarce as soon as you need them!
August also brings the best wahoo bite, especially around the full moons. We like to regular troll with, our trolling baits include a bonito strip under a pink sea witch, a split-tail double-hook rigged mullet (with or without the Sea Witch) and the always popular ballyhoo under a blue/white or black/red Ilander Lure. Don’t forget to do some bottom fishing before you go in, the snapper bite should be good, and you can catch dinner.
Inshore and at the inlets it’s snook spawn time! Live baits such as pilchards, greenies, sardines and croakers will catch snook at the inlets. Be certain to go fishing when the water/current is moving fast as this gets the bait moving so plan your trip accordingly. Snook fishing is a lot of fun and does not take a lot of gas, money or time. Of course, next month we will all be looking for the start of the annual mullet run of bait fish, it’s a very exciting time both inshore and along the beach.

Beautiful keeper black grouper that was caught in season. Always pay attention to regulations in your waters!
