What is your favorite month to fish in and why?
“November in the Laguna Madre means large schools of redfish.” -Captain Brett Hill, Red Vision Fishing Charters
“April, May and June.” -Captain Erick DeSpirt, Reel Cranking Charters
“May when crappie and white bass/hybrids will be in play.” -Captain Brandon Sargent, Lead Slingers
“My favorite month to fish is June because the Sandies and Crappie go out to deeper water and school up around structure and are feeding aggressively. It is a time you will never forget!” -Captain Jaden Webb, Castaways Fishing Guide
“February, catching fish and I have the lake to myself.” -Billy Genay, Billy's Guide Service – Keystone Lake
“All 12." -Adam Pait, Aquatic Tour and Guide of Florida LLC
“Between Florida and NJ, I fish the entire year, no favorite month, there’s always game fish to catch!” -Captain Rich Adler, Tuna Wahoo Charters
“I like the early spring. Longer, warmer days ahead!” -Captain Brad Bugica, Lake Tahoe Fishing
“October. All the redfish are in a matting mode and are ready to eat. Lots of action.” -Captain Clinton de Armas, Get'n Hooked Inshore Adventures
“June is our favorite month to fish because we’ve waited all winter long for the Stripers to show up at the Cape. Black Sea Bass spawn between May and June so we have a great fishery in that time of the season here at the Cape.” -Captain Ross, Cape Cod Charter Guys
“Mày because of the variety of fish species available and we typically use light tackle in the spring which adds to the thrill of the fight.” -Captain Justin Irving, Over The Rail Sportfishing
“October because there are so many great fishing options in both back bay and nearshore waters.” -Captain Jon Fetter, Catching the Cure
