Click the link above or at the bottom of this page to see a representation of my professional Captains Loran Guide. I invite you to take a few minutes, to scroll down and across and read the notes. There are 3,733 loran numbers in all. You will easily see why owning a copy will increase your offshore knowledge tremendously.
There is no other book like it anywhere. Captain's Loran Guide is simply the most comprehensive book of its kind published today.
My Loran Log is an extensive list of good to excellent fishing way points. It has been compiled from several sources. These numbers represent the life-long accumulated knowledge of several of North Florida's finest off shore fishing Captains.
Captains Loran Guide blankets the offshore waters from a little below Saint Augustine to about half way up the coast of South Carolina. As an offshore Captain you know the ocean is a big place. And you know fish are not all ways that easy to find. Hunting fish offshore will be 100% easier and more productive using my professional loran log.
If you would like more information you can contact me by email [email protected], or call and talk to me personally Captain Donnie Walt at 801-322-0627.
A few of the numbers I know personally.
AJ City is a large ship wreck located in 220 feet of water. There you will need plenty of live bait. We never went there with less than 150 liveys. Here you will find the most exciting Amber Jack fishing you will ever know.
We never left with live bait. There are usually a few Gray Grouper there and plenty of Scamps. You have to be dead on the number at first. Once the fish go off you can be off a click either way. When you cross the number exactly, it will look like a Christmas tree.
Grouper Hotel is also a deep ship wreck. It is hard to estimate how many tons of Gray Grouper were caught from there. It would have to be hundreds. After it was first discovered, many boat loads were taken and then it was fished out. Several years ago it was "rediscovered" again. Several boat loads were again taken. Like people in any business these commercial Captains come and go, I know the most recent hit on Grouper Hotel was 5 years ago and the Captain that made the hit is no longer fishing. The next boat in should do well. The number is in my book.
The Milk Run is on the "Break" I am surprised more Captains don't know about it. One night late I was zig-zagging the "Break" looking for fish. One of the crew was watching the color machine with me. We went over the ledge heading deep, it was a nice steep wall. The crew member said, " That's a good mark isn't it." There were no fish showing and I told him it was good bottom all right. Remember we were heading east. Then the bottom started coming up, and then there it was a second ledge off the "Break" about a 75 yards east of the main ledge . And on the face of that wall there was a perfect row of little blue dots. The mark looked like a string of blue pearls. That I said is a good mark. And it was. We pulled giant Beliners till sunrise all along that ledge. When the sun came up the Beliners quit and the Gray Grouper took off, then the Muttons took off, then the Mules took off, then the Katy Mitchels. That first time there we caught 1 thousand 400 pounds of real quality fish
and had many more productive return trips.
Hogfish Ledge is a great place at times. I don't know why they call it that we never caught a Hogfish Snapper there. But we have caught plenty of Beliners in the 2 pound class and plenty of outsize Yellow Tails.
Beliner Ranch is one of my favorite places it has been many of trip maker for us over the years. You can't go there without catching fish, it's impossible. The fish have always been there for us. It is an inshore reef system that covers an area the size of several foot ball fields.
These are a few numbers I know. I hope to add a few more. Probably you will find them on my Fishing Tips page soon. Now on to the book.
