Topwater Thrills: Atlantic Sailfish Explode in Summer Session!

Non-stop bites all day long! Shrunga and I headed out for an evening summer session with partly cloudy skies overhead and the Kaveri River Basin showing good water conditions. The weather stayed comfortable throughout our time on the water, making for perfect backcountry fishing conditions with Ray Chaters 4 Hour Fishing Adventures.

Once the stage was set, we focused on sight fishing, live bait fishing, and topwater fishing techniques to target the sailfish in these productive waters. Shrunga landed a solid Atlantic Sailfish that put up quite the fight on topwater. Jacksonville's backcountry waters are perfect for this style of fishing because the structure and current breaks hold baitfish, which draws in the larger predators. We wrapped up the trip with great action and plenty of memories made!
