Fall is upon us and that means the false albacore, Spanish mackerel and king mackerel are in the neighborhood. This nearshore trip is designed for pelagic species enthusiasts who want to hunt these speed demons in open ocean water. We typically will be within three miles of land hunting for schools using a combination of trolling, sight casting and jigging methods. This trip is dependent upon weather and tidal conditions at the Captain’s discretion. My crew’s safety is my top priority!

The weather did not want to cooperate !! However , since we were down for the week. Our schedule was pretty flexible. The Capt stayed in contact with me daily with possible times to fish and the weather broke for several hours which allowed us to go out. We had and excellent time ! Thank you Blue Herron Guide Service
