Update nice job on your day and uh we look forward to seeing the new boat Caribbean Blue in here we’ve had some really windy weather one stormy night where blue 35 mph and they’re still holding strong they’re all working great these are on a photo sensor so they

Automatically turn on you know when the sunlight gets low kick on there then when the sun comes up in the morning they shut off super happy with them and uh you know if you got a dock a canal live on the water there boat whatever

There early this morning and uh caught a bunch of bait and King fishing was really good had a shot at the sailfish um that’s exciting they were in the sand so they’re 25 ft of water and casted baits came up and got wrapped up on them and stuff pretty exciting to see

One of the only places in the world you can uh see the sailfish do that so it’s really cool seen a couple of those and got a bucket full of Yellow Tail Snappers and came home a little early beautiful day on my end there I came back down don’t was giving

Tutorials how to F yellow Tails but they left out the big trigger fish the oceanic trigger right that what it is tally or big trigger fish now they’re very hard to filt they got like leather-like skin but they’re very good eating and uh there’s a nice

Fillet on them we catch a few of them Yellow Tail you catch them when you’re sail fishing he’s probably yelled that he thought it was a sail fish is probably trying to eat his bait so that’ll happen sometimes this little black fin back there and set them that’s

Another Critter we catch on off shore and they will D your knives out so look at them cutting through it oh yeah all right it’s very tough C Mike still at it looks like on the broad M SW Vision maybe Joey’s out hopefully we’ll get captain Joey on The Fearless when he

Comes in that’ll wrap up this week’s fishing report Captain Joey Hendricks on The Fearless just pulled in they got some king mackerel they got a bucket for yel Snapper he’s got a 27t conch here powered by a 300 Yaman we’ll get a little update from him what was biting

So like I said Joey had some Kinks and yellow Tails but also your son Sawyer got first place Junior angler in the Holly sish T right he did yep he caught two fish out of the four that the boat caught so he teamed up with provider Captain Brooks and uh Sawyer got that’s

Two years in a row now right three actually three years in a row top first place Junior angler in the tournament so that’s good to see they’re ready for him to age out now I think give him the boot tell him to go compete with the big dogs

That’s it tournament yeah Snappers are biting kings are biting good we triy for saes a little slow today but there’s definitely been a few round just wasn’t our day with the sailfish but we got enough other stuff fish good which is nice all right you guys come down here

And check it out Jo is one of the most reasonably priced boats down here 27t offshore boat and he’ll get you out there and show you a good time right like a plan show a good time right oh yeah try try try we’re here the Relentless they just came in I see a

Sailfish flag flying Paul’s moving some bait what’s the bite like out there oh it’s been decent today we had uh sailfish bunch of Snappers and a nice Mahi we’ve been relying on sales for the past week or so to keep our day going but a little more variety today it was

Good like it warmed up out there for us you did a tournament last weekend right yeah it was really rough but the fishing was good everybody across the board all caught fish I think I think there’s I don’t even know must been a record for that tournament but there’s a lot caught

Yeah I think it was over 160 it said that was good all right did you get new liels or you had those for a while these are new I used plastic ones for a while and they always get algae on them I went to fiberglass they’re stay a little

Prettier for us I saw the other lival on your boat for 20 years I they were 20 years old I shouldn’t be knocked 20 years the other ones you got new ones there these are already breaking probably CU of Mason all right thank you for the

Update Mason can you show us this Mahi yeah absolutely Mason’s the first made in Relentless they cleaned yellow Tails they got the S PL playing we got a nice Gap from Mah there yeah we’ll go ahead and start cutting them up did you catch

Him on a kite we sure did what uh he actually ate two baits he came up on a right long and ate a big doggle eye and then he came onto our short and ate a cigar menu at the same time that gogg eye cost him 10 bucks so look he got him

On the other so that’s right that’s right I I’ll take it I’ll take it nice weather good fishing that’s good sun was out today it was kind of rainy and cloudy yesterday but Sun was shining today so MH all right well thanks for the update absolutely we’re uh go see

What the boat’s caught and we’ll wrap it up from there and now for some of our Backcountry fishing this is inshore fishing shallow water flat fishing Captain Bill besset he’s been on the snook and some nice size fish we catch a lot of small ones we call sneaks you

Know when they’re maybe 12 to 18 Ines but he’s had a lot of fish in that 24 to 30 in range lately so that’s good to see all catch and release also been a few red fish back there then Captain Jim wox one of our other favorite guides here

Well they’re all our favorites but he posts pictures so it’s easy to see what he’s been catching but he’s been on the red fish bite also some black drum and we call the real big ones big nasty sometimes they’ll be 15 or 20 lbs and

You hook one of those in a light tackle spinner it’s a good fight in addition to the snook redf fish black drum mangrove snapper and Jacks he also got an A Cobia bite there’s been a fair amount of cobas around this winter so far back there and

We keep a few of them to eat they they do let some of them go but it’s nice to see because the guys are using both live bait and artificial form and you can also keep them for dinner they’re good to eat so good to see some kobe there

With Captain Jim as well and the Holly saish tournament just happened and uh it was a great tournament there were 70 boats entered in it there was 163 sfish cotton release so it was a tournament record and first place went to back in business Captain Robert Collins we’re

Buddies with them so congrats second place went to team GTB Gus toy Buck good job guys and then third place went to tunnel vision and Captain jimmi Hendrick and Lee who fish here a lot they teamed up with Shawn O’Donnell on their team and they had seven releases for the

Tournament so great work in that tournament you guys it was a good bite of sailfish we had a really good week there and uh a great cause there in a great way to remember Holly who was a special girl down here and say you’re coming down here and you don’t want to

Go on a fishing charter but you want to go on the boat for a couple hours we have a few boats here that do Eco tours Captain Robin Captain Jeff and even my wife Sarah does a few and she also does some stone crab trips so we’re going to

Show you a little bit of stone crabing now you can actually book a charter it’s like an Eco tour you go check our recreational traps and if you get a bunch of them you can take some home to eat for dinner and when it’s good it’s

Good we had 32 claws last poll and on average we averag about 20 but sometimes you get even 40 or 50 and it’ll be a nice meal and just something different to do with a family friends and kids and you know something cool to see also some

Other news the gone fishing five he blew a transmission and boats do have problems they break you know so the guys are always working to maintain them and keep them running but if you have Charter booked we’ll do our best we can to ACC comedy to move you to a different

  1. Congratulations to Sawyer on his junior angler achievement! We had the pleasure of having him as 2nd mate on the Gimme Jimmy with Cpt Jordan and Brooks. Love and respect to those two. Back to Sawyer, that is one helluva good young man! Good head on his shoulders, really knew what he was doing, and was always ready to whatever needed to be done! Good for him!
