Fishing statement: To try to insure that fishing stays in the hearts of those that love it and to help the ones that are going to!

This is Captain Ken Kennickell of Miss Judy Charter s new boat, which will be ready for the 2020 charter offshore fishing season!

2 Fish beware and fishermen be ready! The inshore bite continues to amaze fishermen! However, the bite is not ON every day. The more you fish this easier bite patterns are to follow. We have noticed that the inshore fish bite especially during this time of the year seems to be more effected by cold fronts and muddy water caused by rainy windy conditions. I feel the reason behind all of this is with water temps cool to cold fish don t seem to move as much so they don t need as much to eat! What does all of this boil down too?

3 Well, if you get a chance to go fishing whether it is windy/cold/rainy I suggest just going! Why? Because if the fish are hungry they are going to eat! And give them what they want, which is live shrimp or fresh dead! Where you do you get them if you can t purchase them? Don t forget your cast net! See below! While inshore fishing with Captain Garrett Ross of Miss Judy Charters Aaron Glasscock Savannah, Georgia was very successful throwing the old cast net! What do we have here? If Aaron throws a few more times, he will have caught enough for the day s fishing and enough for an afternoon shrimp cocktail.

What were they using as bait? Live shrimp! While inshore fishing with Captain Garrett Ross of Miss Judy Charters John Waite, Paulette Hamilton, Kate and Peter Kastner Skidaway had a catching blast.

5 And there is a story that goes with this inshore fishing ( Captain Judy) was a speaking at the CCA meeting this past November and the CCA Skidaway offered a raffle for a 4 hours inshore trip with Captain Garrett. As you might already know, sometimes winning a fishing trip doesn t always mean you are going to catch fish when you go! However, this trip came together from the start to the finish! I love it when a plan comes together especially when fishing is involved! You guys did darn good! And who showed them the way?

6 Captain Garrett! Captain Garrett Ross and his father Captain Phil Ross (both captains with Miss Judy Charters is sporting I just caught a lot of nice spotted sea trout smiles! While inshore fishing with Captain Garrett Ross of Miss Judy Charters Peter Kastner Skidaway Island caught fought and landed this nice spotted sea trout on light tackle! Yep, soon to be found on a proper dinner plate! Nice spotted sea trout! I love the winter colors that these fish are sporting at this time of the year! While inshore fishing with Captain Garrett Ross of Miss Judy Charters Paulette Hamilton Skidaway Island caught the beautiful spotted sea trout!)

7 But here s the thing, she caught lots more, but didn t have time for pictures. Why? Cause when the fish are biting you got to catch them right then! And that s what Paulette and fishing team did! While inshore fishing with Captain Garrett Ross of Miss Judy Charters Kate Kastner (Skidaway Island) caught this beautiful spotted sea trout! This fish hit the bait twice, which turned out to be too While inshore fishing with Captain Garrett Ross of Miss Judy Charters John Waite Skidaway Island caught this nice spotted sea trout!

8 John s live shrimp clearly tried to get away, but as you can see spotted sea trout as well as John hooking up abilities didn t fare to well! While on a fact fish finding catching mission Captain Garrett Ross of Miss Judy Charters took his friend Joe Brettschneider, Eric Campbell, and his father Philip Ross out for a fun day on the water! (All from Savannah, Georgia) Oops I almost forget Tripp the wonder dog went too! This is what they kept and the team released the rest! Inshore Catching Report! The fishing or should say CATCHING!

9 Has been pretty good. That s if you find clear water, have the right bait, and of course your fishing in the right spot! These three important things also known as a fish catching equation insured fishermen that they most likely are going to get the best chance at catching something! At this time of the year if you can get these three things in prospective, well it will be all good! I know it sound good doesn t it? Well, clear water means exactly with is it, clear water. Fish that sight feed, need clear water to effectively do so.

10 Now if they aren t in it they are going move until they find it! So think like a hungry fish. The right bait, well, most inshore fishermen know that if you use live shrimp as bait you are getting your best shot at catching a fish. However, sometimes you can purchase live shrimp! And other times you cannot! This is when you need to be prepared meaning don t forget you cast net. At this time of the year you will need both kinds of cast net. You will need the shallow and possibly the deep dropping in the hole net. Why?
