11/30/2010 Charter with Brandon Grant







I had Brandon and his father and law from Tennessee today. We started the day looking for some waking redfish. We found them but they had lockjaw. We caught a handful of smaller reds and one nice 24". It was dead low so we went looking for some blackdrum. We headed into the creeks where we caught a few nice keepers up to 17". We also had a ton of redfish between 15"-17" . They were catching them on every cast for quite a while. After dozens of redfish we were on to catch some trout. By now it was afternoon and the winds were blowing at over 20 m.p.h. . The trout bite was so so. They did catch a really nice week fish with a few smaller trout and bluefish thrown in. They also snagged a huge whelk conch that we got a picture of and let her back in the water to continue to make baby conch. A windy day but we were still able to locate a ton of fish today.

11/28/2010 Arthur Lee's Family
















Today I took out a regular clients daughter, sister and her husband, and his father. They had a great fishing day. It was a little chilly in the morning and the water was as calm as glass. As we pulled up to the first spot we saw some huge wakes that were made from some large redfish fleeing the scene. We started out blind casting to some holes and oyster bars and were rewarded with some smaller redfish. Down inside the creek we were urged to go further in by a great big waving tail. As we got within casting range I tossed Olivia's shrimp near the fish and fish on. She hooked up to a nice 26" redfish and landed it all by here self. What a great fight. We had not moved more than ten feet when we saw a nice push at the feet of two shore birds. We cast at the base of the oyster mound and hooked up to a 23" and he was brought to the boat swiftly. This continued for the next 3 hours. There were 4 people on board but we were only able to have one line in the water at a time because all of the redfish were sight fished. Arthur's dad caught a 31" and his sister caught a 28" as well as a few more keepers and short redfish. What a great day on the water.
