Headhunter Outdoors Report

Hi folks Capt. David here with this weeks outdoors report. The fishing is slow but that doesn’t mean you can’t catch a fish! They have just slowed down a little.

The surf is where the most action is happening now so go sit on the beach and soak some bait. Reds,Trout and blues are around and biting. Some mullet are biting as well so there ain’t no telling what might bite.

Now is the time of the year to start planning for spring. Don’t just throw those rods and reels in the shed and expect to pull them out and use them in a couple of months. Saltwater will rust rubber! Wash all your equipment in warm soapy water, dry them off and lube them good. Now put them in the shed and they will work at a later date. Otherwise just throw them in the trashcan and go buy new ones next time you want to go fishing. While you are at it go ahead and winterize the boat too. Now don’t forget the trailer either. Preventive maintenance done this time of the year will prevent a bad experience come springtime!

On the hunting side, only 9 more months till deer season comes back in! Never fear though all the small game is still in season and duck season is in too. Take the kids out to hunt squirrels or rabbits with a .22 or small guage shotgun. It will be a blast! Now boys and girls lets talk about the new year and resolutions. If you just have to make a New years resolution try to make it something real. Exercising and getting in the gym is great but unreal for most of us. Besides carrying a 100 lb bag of corn back in the woods and trudging through the saltmarsh in chest waders at 5:30 am,in ankle deep mud duck hunting burns loads of calories and is great for the old ticker. Hey if it don’t kill you it will only make you stronger! Get out of the gym and into the great outdoors. Do you think Daniel Boone ever went to a gym. NO! Well thats about it for this week so get outdoors and take a kid with you.

Hi folks Capt. David here with this weeks outdoors report. Well the fishing is slowing down now and it’s only going to get slower.

The surf and inlet bars seem to be where most of the action is. Either inlet is about as good as the other, hey even a bad day of fishing beats the alternative.

Offshore the fish are biting but are moving farther out. Just about any temperature break in the 30 mile range is a good place to start looking. Remember to check the weather forecast before you go out.

On the hunting side, Deer season is in just till the 1st and duck season is in till the 26th. Most small game is in season and it would be a great time to take the kids or grandkids out over the holidays. Folks this is the time of year to remember the reason for the season. Enjoy the time with family and friends and say a prayer for all of our military folks no matter where they are. I would like to take this time to wish all of our readers a safe and happy holiday.
