 Hi All I would like to post something new but nothing has been going on. There is a big high pressure system off the coast and the waves are 7 foot due east which means its like a commercial washing machine out there. Been doing some maintenance and rigging in my spare time waiting for the weather to break. I will be back soon with more exciting fish stories.

Fishing weather preparing for fishing charters

 One of the keys to being safe when out to sea is conditions and weather. I am always looking at the weather prior to setting up a fishing charter, all the way until the morning I am leaving. I even watch the satellite on the boat while fishing if the weather is iffy.  I am putting together all the links I use to get the weather on this page. Boca Inlet Cam Tells me where the gulfstream is Offshore NOAA Forcast shows storms Wunderground Radar So all these links are great for predicting what's coming your way, but they don't help so much when you are out on a fishing charter and something picks up. For that I use XM Satellite GXM54 with Fish Mapping and live radar and weather. If you are interested in learning more here is the link. XM Fish Mapping This is a great website to see the wind and waves for the week, below is a sample.

Fridays Charter Off Boca Raton

5/7/21 6:20am charter start from the Boca inlet  Friday's fishing charter went well. The wind was west and gusting up a bit but the sea was relatively flat out to about 500 feet or 3 miles. After that it got a little choppier, maybe 3 footers. the current was less then 3 MPH in the gulfstream.  We tried trolling the inside ledge, but there was nothing but scattered weeds to catch so we headed out about 7:15 am. We found a few more patches of weeds around 500 feet but nothing at all swimming under them. So we tried to troll around but the weeds were everywhere and scattered so we just ended up clearing lines nonstop. at 8 we headed out to the Boca humps and 750 and 800 about 8 miles out. It was getting choppy and the weeds were still everywhere, so no trolling. I sent down a chicken rig to 800 feet with squid hoping for a golden tile but ended up pulling in Black Bellied Rose Fish Rosies like crazy.  The guys started jigging with squid on the side of the boat and hooked up to a smal

EJS Fishing Charters Trolling Spreads

  This is a great trolling spread I found from an Australian lure maker. When I take fishing charters out of the Boca Raton inlet I am looking to catch big fish. This setup has worked well for me with Tuna, Wahoo, Bonita. It also works well for Mahi with one small problem. When you troll through a school of Mahi and get 9 hits, (by the way I leave a hook on my teasers)  its almost impossible to manage them without tangles. The way I approach it is I let the outer 3 lines run and try and pull in the inner 6 as fast as possible, which doesn't always work if you have a 25 pound bull running away.  My transom lines are on #8 planers so they stay out of the way if not hit and it makes it a little easier. You can always let the shotgun run since its already 300 feet back. Our personal best is 6 in the boat at once.  Jordan Schleider USCG Captain Daisy EJS Charters 561-447-7148 http://ejscharters.com

Safety facts about fishing charters

Image
 As a licensed United States Coast Guard captain there are different requirement then if you are a boat owner. One big difference is safety. As a USCG captain you must have USCG type 1 lifejackets on your boat. Most boats come with USCG type 2 lifejackets. Type 2 jackets are boxy and uncomfortable to wear, and type 1 jackets are downright expressive. You might see a lot of fishing charters without the correct jackets for this reason, but its all about safety. Below is a description of the differences from from the Coast Guard. Type I – Inherently buoyant recommended uses and features: Intended Use: When cruising, racing and fishing offshore , or when boating alone, or in stormy conditions. Minimum Buoyancy: 22 lbs. for adults. (11 lbs. for child size) Additional Information: Best for open, rough or remote water where rescue may be slow to arrive.
