2-26-2011 Solo fishing trip

Wow, what a day on the water. It was as slick as glass on the water this morning. I started out blind casting to some drop offs. I caught some where around a dozen smaller trout on top-water lures.As i was moving along you could see redfish tossing mullet in the air from 100's of feet away. I slowly made my way to the redfish pushing huge wakes and dropped the power-pole down. I tossed my top-water lure about twenty feet past the fish and started slowly walking the dog towards the fish. He made a huge blow up and was hooked. I caught a 25", a 23" and a 28" redfish all on top-water within 20 minutes. It was awsome watching these redfish make numerous strikes at the lure and finally get a hook into them. As soon as the sun came out the top-water bite was finished. I moved to some deeper drops and picked up 3 upper slot redfish ans one 32" redfish as well. Decided to move a little farther north with the rising tide and hooked one more 28" before calling it a day. I moved around just checking some places that I had not been to since last year and the fish were fired up. Spring is hear. Oh how I love towater redfish!

2-23-2011 fishing with Bart

I was wanting to try out the new boat and had 45 minutes before dark left. We put the boat in the water and headed north. we had 25 minutes of fishing time and it was very windy and foggy. Within 5 minutes we had a nice middle slot redfish, 2 keeper black drum and a short redfish. The boat performed awsome and we were rewarded with a good sunset bite

2-18-2011 Charter w/ Ty and Tyson

I had Ty and his son Tyson for a trip today. What a beautiful day on the water. Calm wind and sunny skies were the order of the day. It was my first charter on my new boat. We started out going for some sheephead with the higher tide. We caught a few smaller ones so off to go look for some redfish. It was a full moon last night so there was a super high tide. We fished some drop offs and located some smaller redfish. We then went onto the flats and saw a few singles but we were not able to get the cast that was needed and did not get the hook up. We saw a decent amount of some nice redfish but they just did not want to eat. We went to some deeper holes and picked up a ton of smaller redfish, some keeper and under size black drum and a keeper flounder thrown in the mix. We then went and tried for some larger sheephead again but we only found smaller ones. We ended the day with keeper redfish, black drum and flounder. What a beautiful day and great company. Hopefully Ty will be able to make it back down for the cobia run in the spring! Should be a great week on the water so get out there and have some fun.

Fun Fishing with Capt. Brian 12-28-2010

Fun fishing it was today. I had they day off today so I called Brian to see if he wanted to pole the redfisher around for a few hours. It was chilly and windy today but it was also sunny and that was all that was needed. We were fishing in around a foot of water and looking for hungry redfish. They were is smaller groups today but they were hungry. All fish were caught on soft plastics during the daytime. Then an hour before dark I switch to a top water Zara spook jr. . Man is it fun catching an upper slot redfish in freezing weather in the middle of winter on a top water lure. We had a few double today as i would hook one and Brian would fire from the poling platform. What a blast it was today. I love the clear water we get every winter from Jan. until March.

12-20-2010 Fishing with Andy from N.Y.C.

12-20-2010 Fishing with Andy, his brother and there father

It was a little chilly today but the fish were hungry. Andy was down from New York City and was hoping to try some local fish again. We started the day catching a ton of sheephead. It was a bite as soon as the crab hit the water. It usually takes a little practice to catch a sheephead but after I should them a few tricks the were pulling them into the boat on every cast. After they had a few for the table we went looking for some redfish. We found a few different schools up in the creeks. We then went looking for some bigger redfish along the intracoastal. We found them and they had a blast on these bigger fish. One last spot that I knew of to try for that really big redfish. Andy casted at the oyster mound and was rewarded with a monster. Ten minutes later he had the redfish boat side. You might have to have an extra jacket this time of year but the fish are schooled up and hungry.

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.
