4-7-2011 Charter with J.P. and his son and friend

What a day of fishing. I am on the water well over 250 days of the year fishing and these are the days we hope for. It was calm winds all day and there were redfish everywhere. I had j.p. and his son and his sons friend out for a half day trip. We started out first thing in the morning. Within 30 seconds of putting the trolling motor in the water we had a nice wake coming right at us. I took the pole and threw it right in front of the fish and redfish on. Unfortunately it cam off after a few seconds of pulling line. Well we had these opportunities the rest of the day. Sometimes I would use the trolling motor to get to the pushing wakes and other times I would pull the boat within range. We had a few sight fished doubles as well. What a blast it is for anyone let alone a 7 year old to watch the redfish eat his minnow in less than a foot of water. The fishing is on fire right now.

What a great day of fishing today. The redfish were hungry. No matter where we went there were upper size and over size redfish. I can not remember how many we caught but it was a lot.We had a few trout and other stuff throw in but it was mostly redfish today.

Charter 4-4-2011 with Ying and her family

There were more boats today on the water than I had seen all year. It look like a forth of July weekend out there. I had Ying, Rod and there son Ben and daughter Kira out for a day of fishing. They had booked earlier in the week

but we postponed it due to the rain. It was there last day of spring break so I wanted to end it with a bang. We had to move around a little here and there due to the boat traffic. They had a great time and everybody was able to catch a few fish. Ben had the large fish of the day which was a 29" redfish. Everyone was able to get there first redfish and there biggest redfish ever. What a great day on the water.

Charter with Laura and her birthday man 4-2-2011

The only thing that I can say about today's fishing was wow! What a day. Laura had big fish of the day. A huge redfish for the backwaters. we were along an oyster shoreline and you could see a lot of redfish swimming the bank. all of the sudden I spot the first shark of the season. It was only about three feet long, but it had a tag in it. We tossed a few different bait at it but it was not interested. That was the first tagged shark that I have ever seen.After catching a ton of redfish on the flats and in the creeks we went looking for a few other species. We went to a little deeper water and we caught sheephead, blackdrum, bluefish, flounder and ended the day with another fat redfish. This was fishing as it is supposed to be.

Charter with John and his son 4-1-2011

Another amazing day of fishing. It is spring time in full effect. There are redfish abound and they are hungry. I had John out again and his son was home from Georgia Tech for spring break. They took turns catching some upper slot and over size redfish today. They even had a few double hook ups as well. John had the big fish of the day that took him to the line backing and we had to chase the redfish for a little ways. After that they were ready to call it a day. What a blast as always taking John out.

Kayak trip 3-29-2011

My trip cancelled to due to the rain. So when I have a day off it is time to go fishing. There was some serious weather that came thru today including tornado warnings and hail reports. There was a break in the weather after 6 p.m. so I called my friend Bart and said lets go catch some trout. My friend just started a kayak fishing charter bussiness. He just got some really nice kayaks loaded with all of the toys. There was a lot of wind and some serious clounds still in the sky so I knew it was time for some top water action. I am still new at this kayak fishing deal so it was a learning experience. As soon as we put the boats in there were some nice redfish pushing wakes. We were in 8 " of water. I only had a few different top water lures with me. I tried to catch a few of the redfish but they were very scared of my lures. Next time I will make sure I have a few weedless jigs with me. Well we left the redfish and went looking for some trout. we had a ton of blow up and landed some nice size trout. What a blast it is to catch these fish on top water. Here are a few pictures of the better ones. If you ever want to try out some kayak fishing give Bart a call at (321)231-9450. He lives here locally but his phone number is from Orlando. He has been fishing in this area for over 11 years and he knows the area very well and his kayaks are super comfertable.

Charter with tim and his wife 3-25-2011

What a beautiful day on the water. It was light to moderate winds all day so polling the new boat was in order. We saw a ton of redfish today. There were groups of fish from 2 fish to over fifty fish. All the redfish we caught today were sight fished. The biggest was somewhere around 28". We even caught a nice 23" directly at the nose of the boat after they were unable to spot the group of fish heading our way. I told her to just drop the jig off of the front of the boat and she was hooked up. Nothing like catching a nice redfish in less than two feet of water 5 feet from the boat. After casting to a ton of redfish we went looking for some trout. We were able to locate a handful of them but they were all under 18". This new Dragonfly boat is as silent polling as they make them.
