I’m pretty sure we are all ready for 2021 to get here. 2020 has been one for the record books I would say. Fortunately though, Christmas is here and we are only days away from (hopefully) a less stressful year. Besides a handful of tough weeks back in spring, we were able to have another successful fishing year and were able to spend quality outdoor time with some of our favorite people, our customers. We couldn’t be more thankful for you guys.

The fishing this year was pretty good with several banner days (and several slower days too, but hey that’s fishing right?). We were able to meet many first time customers and hang out with customers that have been around long enough to consider friends. We hope you guys had just as much fun as we did. The best part about this job is that we get to spend time with so many enjoyable people while doing what we love. That’s what really keeps us going.

Now for some fishing talk! November and December had some really good fishing. Several great days have been had catching redfish, trout, and black drum. Some of the best trips every year come in the colder months and although we are about to get into the coldest weather of the year, it doesn’t necessarily slow down.

January and February will typically deliver some frigid weather but sometimes will give us 65 degrees and light winds. With average high temperatures hovering around 50, bundling up with a few layers can make days on the water bearable. Redfish are mostly the main target for the next two months but that doesn’t mean we won’t see a few good trout bites or black drum bites in the mix. The size of our redfish tend to shrink but the numbers tend to grow during the winter with most fish in the 2lb range (16″-17″) with some bigger slot fish mixed in. We will spend most of our time casting for redfish and trout with scented artificials such as gulp or Zman on light jig heads. When it gets really cold or the wind isn’t cooperating, sometimes we may fish minnows or dead shrimp on the bottom. If you can handle the cold, it should be worth the time and money spent. With double digit days always a high possibility, the next two months shouldn’t necessarily be overlooked.

We hope everyone has a great Christmas and a Happy New Year. We will continue to strive to make your experiences the best when fishing with us. We appreciate everything you guys have done for us and we can’t wait to see what is in store for 2021. Just remember, please book early if you plan on fishing with us this upcoming year. Texting, calling or booking through email will all work best. With the most outside activity this country has seen in years, bookings will go quicker. See you next year!

Thanks,

Christmas time is here once again, wow. Time has flown by the past 12 months. Just like that, 2019 is in the rear view mirror and 2020 is simply days away. We have been so fortunate to have had the opportunity to do what we love and also pursue a career in the fishing industry. 2019 was another successful year with some of the best customers and friends we could ask for. Going into the 14th year of Seahawk Inshore Fishing Charters, dad and I can only hope and pray to continue what has been built. Each year, new customers become friends, which is honestly the most enjoyable part of this business.

The winter time can be the absolute best time of year to come fishing with us, especially when it comes to putting numbers in the boat. December has been fantastic with some incredible days on redfish, with days up to 80+ fish. Hard to imagine but when you find them, the numbers can add up quickly. The majority of the fish we are finding are in the 16-18” range but some 23-26” fish may find their way into these schools. If the weather cooperates, that should only continue through the next 2 months. There is some real fun to be had if you can bundle up and handle some of the chillier temperatures. It is not uncommon to head back to the ramp with 30-40+ fish caught. The majority of the fish we will see from now through February will be redfish but we may run into speckled trout and black drum along the way. Throwing Gulp shrimp on 1/8 oz or 3/16 oz seems to work best this time of year but if things get tough, we will catch the reds and black drum on pieces of dead shrimp. Most of the time though, scented soft plastics are the way to go.

Thanks for checking out this quick winter fishing report and preview for the rest of the winter season. Don’t forget our $300 winter rates will end at the beginning of March. We would once again like to say a huge thank you to the incredible customers and friends we have had the pleasure to meet this year. We seriously wouldn’t be able to do what we do without you guys. May God bless you and each one of your families.
Merry Christmas,
The Seahawk Bunch
