                         Hello fellow anglers. This is Capt. Ronnie Hope coming to you with the fishing forecast from the Shell Beach,  Hopedale area for the coming month of September . This month the trout fishing will be  good but during this month the trout will begin he fall migration to the inside for the winter patterns and the red fish will also and they have already started their move with big schools of reds being seen inside already. The speckled trout will still be eating live shrimp until they are gone and that will depend on LDWF and the close of the season. The red fish can be caught in the ponds on market bait under a cork fished along the shore lines and in the cuts and also you can sight fish for them with spoons and spinners in the shallows when the water clarity allows it.                    

                                The off shore fishing out of Shell beach has been phenomenal and with the the amber jack season back open the big boys will be hot and heavy for as long as you want to crank them up and the mangrove snapper are still all over the rigs along with the trigger fish and grouper and cobia  and can be caught off the bottom or on top on  all types  of cut bait. Sometimes they can be caught on buck tail jigs and diamond jigs in various colors but the bright colors usually work best. All in all September  is set to be an awesome month for fishing either in shore or off shore but it Will be HOT HOT HOT out there so make sure that every one stays hydrated with plenty of liquids.

Ricky give us a call or drop us an email we would love to take you and your friends and family fishing but call early because the available days are going fast.If you would like to take a trip please give me a call or drop me an email and we can arrange the trip of your lifetime.

                         Hello fellow anglers. What a fun fishing trip with a group of good friends in from Arkansas for a visit and some good ole rod bending action. We met Mr. Rick and 5 of his good friends at the dock at 5 am and loaded with mangrove snapper bait we hit the gulf  and were greeted by calm seas and a slight breeze and the guys were anxious to hit the first spot and after a good boat ride we hooked to the rig and it was on like donkey Kong with the first drop producing a nice 12 pound mangrove snapper. From the first drop it was a Chinese fire drill on the boat with double and triple hook ups going on but a lot of red snapper mixed in but they sure make a good tug on the line for the guys. The guys caught plenty of nice fat mangroves and some trigger fish mixed in and 1 cobia and had some big fish eat several 5 and 6  pound red snapper on the way up but we could never turn their head ot of the rig before they could cut us off. After the bite slowed a little we made a move to another rig and picked up  a few more fish and decided to go back to the start and try to catch some big fish and we managed 1 nice amber jack  and 2 trigger fish to round out a perfect day.

                                     So with a fish box to the bursting point we headed the boat north and the guys fired up their party early and had a blast on the way back to the dock.My friends and I and Capt Ricky had a blast with each other and the guys cant wait until next red snapper season to make their next trip with me. The final fish count for the day was 39 mangrove snapper 2 trigger fish 1 cobia and 1 amber jack. A great time was had by all and after a round of high fives and hand shakes the guys headed of to tear down Bourbon street.
