What an awesome week once again. I am telling you, this is the time to go. Sailfish, blackfins, kings, cobes and more. The water temps are dropping and activating the fall run including the bunker. It’s a tad later than normal, but it’s here, to say the least. The only problem with this time of year is the weather. It’s more of a wind issue than anything. Fish all the normal reefs and ridges. No secrets. If you find the live bait, net it up. If not, frozen works just fine. Use mylar rigs if you’re using frozen baits and use a small swivel for that spin.

This brings us to week four of another featured Captain highlight. This time it’s Captain Joe Byrd. Capt. Joe has been a true asset for Fired Up Charters for seven years at this point and hopefully many more to come. Joe is a hard charging fishing machine. He is a people pleaser and if he doesn’t crush it, he will literally cry, lol. You will see his effort, I assure you that. Capt. Joe has many tricks up his sleeve and normally comes home with the meat.

He comes from a long line of commercial fishing including his dad. To say it runs in his family and blood is an understatement. His pride really shines when you step on his boat, the Fire Fight. Cleanliness and presentation is his forte! When I try to give him a day off from his 50 full day trips in a row he says, “no, thank you.”

Capt Joe has created a good name for himself on our social media, as well. You can follow him on all our sites. He truly puts on a great time for his customers, to say the least. I welcome you to give Capt Joe a request and show you what it’s all about. Joey, Thank you!
