March/April 2012 Fishing Report

by Admin 20. March 2012

The waters are full of life off the shores of Capt Hiram's.  Spring is here and with spring comes Cobia, Dolphin and Wahoo. Pods of bait are all over the place, from just off the beaches to the offshore reefs.

 

If your looking for Cobia, first try the beach. Look for Rays; the Cobia will be swimming with the Rays or just under them. You will also find them on the offshore reefs. If you're bottom fishing the reefs, Cobia will follow hooked fish up to the surface; be sure to have a rod and a bait ready when they come up to the boat.

 

Fishing for the Dolphin; look for color changes, rips and weed-lines. And keep an eye on those birds, they can lead you right to the fish.   

 

Congratulations go out to Capt Gus Brugger and Gary BeachGary Beach, the new chef at Captain Hirams Resort, spent his first afternoon away from the kitchen fishing with Capt Hirams owner Tom Collins aboard the Pattern Setter with Capt. Gus Brugger. This 31" (79cm) Gator Seatrout weighed 10.25lbs and will be submitted for an IGFA all tackle length record. It hit a D.O.A. 4" C.A.L. and was released to fight another day.   

 

AND the fish keep showing up on our dock! Capt Terry Wildey and The Big Easy delivered this catch on Saturday March 16th! We do have the best Capt's and Charters around! Check them all out on our Fishing Page

 

Don't forget to mark your calendars for the SISA 40th Annual 2012 Spring Fling Tournament, April 28th (Capt's Meeting on April 27th) always a great time!

 

That's all for now.... Capt Michael Barkle

RE-Discover Capt Hiram's

by Admin 27. February 2012

Here at Capt Hiram's we are always reinventing ourselves, trying to keep things fresh and new but still familiar.  The latest facelift has been to the hotel, where we have brought in beautiful new furniture, carpeting and accents like flat panel tv's.  Not that you will want to spend all your time in the rooms when we have so much going on; but it is nice to have a great place to crash after a day on the river or a night in the sand.  Come by and check out our new rooms when you get the chance.

We are also renovation the Ship Store to be more than a store but a communications hub for the property.  You will be able to do everything from book fishing trips, rent boats, kayaks and bikes and of course rent a slip for the night.  Always something new!
