3-15-2011 Charter w/ John, Dean and Jordan

I had a half day trip with a great client of mine, John. He brought along Dean and Dean's daughter that was on spring break. We got a little late start to the day so top water was out of the question. We started out throwing some jigs and corks and picked up a few trout. We then decided to go look for some redfish. We started out catching a bunch of smaller redfish. After we had

enough of the smaller redfish it was time to go look for some larger fish. As i kickered up to where there big school has been hanging out I had Dean throw first. As his minnow landed he had a fish on and the entire water around his fish went crazy. There was a bunch of fish with his 24" redfish. After we landed his fish it was Jordan's turn. I poled the boat within range of the waking school and she had a great cast and was hooked up to a nice 26" redfish. She did excellent landing this fish on 10 pound test. " I can't wait until I get to see the video her dad took of the fight." The fish was doing his best to break her off but she succeeded in landing her biggest redfish. It was now Johns turn but unfortunately the fish took the minnow off of the hook. Dean threw in front of the school and had another nice middle slot redfish. We ended the day with a sheephead and a nice over size redfish. Dean had the hot hand today but everybody caught some great fish. I hope Jordan had a great spring break.

2-27-2011 New boat pictures

I was finally able to take some pictures of the new boat. It is a dragonfly boatworks. The model is a grand slam. She is loaded with all the bells and whistles from an 8 foot power pole in the back to a removable custom casting platform in the front I can accommodate 3 anglers plus me comfortably. It has a draft of 8 " and is super stable. It is an extremely dry and comfortable ride as well. Feel free to call or e-mail me with any questions that you might have about the boat. I hope to see everyone on the water soon.

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.
