Charter 12-21 2011 w/ Sung and Veronica

Today I had Sung and his daughter Veronica out for a half day charter. They were up from Fort Lauderdale and the brought some of there beautiful weather with them. What a great day of fishing in Saint Augustine. Veronica had the hot hand of the day but Sung was not to far behind. The both caught some really big black drum and some great redfish. Veronica was on of the best casters that I have ever had on the boat. She was able to cast it right under the dock and also able to horse the fish out without pulling the hook. It was a blast watching her fish throughout the day. I am sure the two of them will have some great memories of today's trip.

Charter 12-19-2011 w/ Morris and Pierson

Today I had a two boat trip with Morris and his family. Capt. Brian took out Morris's two sons and I took him and his grandson out. It was a fun day of catching. It is always great to get some body there first redfish and then make it a nice slot redfish that is screaming drag and it is that much better. They were able to catch some really nice redfish and some smaller black drum and trout thrown in the mix. We even had on a few flounder but they kept spitting the hook right at the boat. What a fun and beautiful day on the water.

Fun fishing and pictures w/ Rich 12-18-2011

I took Capt. Rich Santos from Jacksonville out today. We had been trying to plan a day where both of us had the day off. He had been wanting to see how the Dragonfly Boatworks Grand Slam handled since he is in the market for a new boat soon. Well Saturday was sunny, calm and in the low 80's. Today was 42 degrees and blowing at 15-25. Not an ideal day to try out a little fly fishing. I was still able to mess around sight-fishing with some soft plastics, even with the broken had. Rich brought along 2 nice Nikon cameras and took some really killer pictures. His views add a whole different look. I can't wait for part two to see him throw the fly rod. Keep an eye out for the report in the next few weeks.

Charter 12-14-2011 w/ John and Christy

Today I took out John and Christy Wow did the catch a lot of different species for this time of year. I believe that the caught a keeper of just about everything. One of the bloopers of the day was when John was holding up an over the slot trout for a picture and it wiggled out of his hands and into the water. They were able to have some drag screaming all day though.

Charter 12- 07-2011 w/ Jeff and Angela

Today I took out Bill and Angela for a half day trip. It was another beautiful Saint Augustine fishing day. The wind was blowing but other than that everything was great. We were able to catch a bunch of really nice slot redfish with a few smaller redfish in the mix. We also put some nice black drum on the boat as well. Angela also caught a beautiful redfish that had no spots on it. I still love looking at those fish.

Took the Finn, Dave, and Sasha fishing today 12-06-2011

Today I took my son Finn and my friend David and his son Sasha  out for a little boat ride and a little fishing. The kids love going fast. I had to make sure that they also loved catching and not just fishing. We caught some blackdrum, sheephead, trout and ended with some really nice upperslot redfish. It is awsome when the kids are excited-even though I think the are more excited to go fast and fly through the creeks than they are at catching fish.

Today I had Bill out for a half day trip. What a beautiful day. This was his first time ever fishing inshore in salt water. He resides in Ohio but comes down here throughout the year. After today I imagine he will be spending a little more time in Florida. We started out with calm winds and sunny skies. The first fish he had on was a nice redfish but after a few minutes the redfish broke him off. Well now the pressure was on me to make sure that he had some that made it into the boat. We we did not have a problem doing that . He caught and landed a bunch of nice redfish and another huge one that broke his line again. He was also able to catch a flounder and some trout as well which gave him his first Northeast Florida slam on his first fishing trip. It was a fun day out there and I hope to fish with you again.
