Charter 4-02-2012 w/ Peggy and her family



Today I had Peggy, her husband and her son. What a great group. They were in town for spring break. We caught a bunch of really nice redfish with some flounder and trout in the mix. It is always a blast watching a redfish swim by and getting your bait in front of it and seeing your cork dissapear. We were able to see tons of fish today that did not want to play but we were able to get a few to cooperate. I am sure that they had a great spring break.

Charter 3-31-2012 w/ Nick



I had Nick and his father in law out for a little fishing. It was another great day on the water. They caught some really great redfish. We forgot to take pictures so we got some at the marina before they were turned into dinner. We also got a nice flounder. What another fun day on the water

Scouting trip 3-29-2012 Cobia


I caught my personal best cobia today. I am guessing somewhere over 40 pounds.I have had clients get them bigger but I have never got a big one myself. It was the only fish that I saw out there today and it was a free swimmer. I am waiting for the numbers to arrive so that I can get some on my new Galvan Torque 10 weight flyreel. I am ready.

Fly fishing charter 3-28 2012 on the dragonfly paddle board








I had a killer day of flyfishing today. I took out the dragonfly paddleboard for an afternoon sight fishing trip. The reds were fired up. I landed 5 on fly. the biggest was somewhere between 26" and 28" . It was a blast watching all of these fish eat the fly. A few were within 10 feet of the board. You can get so close to these fish on the dragonfly it is awsome. Saint Augustine has some great hidden fly fishing. It is my new favorite way to fish.

Charter 3-19-2012 w/ John and his 2 sons


What another great day on the water. Today I had a regular client John and his 2 sons. One was home from Georgia Tech on spring break. I had to make sure to get him the biggest fish of the day. We had some great redfish today. He got a nice upperslot redfish. They also got some great size flounder. These flounder are coming in early this year so keep an eye out for them to get big fast. What a fun day of catching.

3-16-2012 Charter w/ Dave and his uncle






Today I had a regular client of mine and his uncle. It was a perfect day on the water. We must of saw 100's of redfish today. On one cast as Dave hooked up there was redfish in every direction. We saw 1 redfish with over a foot of his tail waving at us from a distance. We also got a bunch of other species thrown in the mix.They kept a few for dinner as well. These are the days that you hope for every day of the year. What a blast.

Charter 3-15-2012 w/ Charles







I took Charles and his brother out for a half day trip. This was his brothers first time ever fish. Well his first fish was in the first 10 minutes and in was a middle slot redfish. He was pumped. It was a great day of fishing. Charles wanted to try and catch some other species after we caught a ton of redfish. We were able to get some different kind of trout and a smaller sheephead and the first jack of the season. Spring is here.. After trying hard for some other species he decided to try for some more redfish and we continued to ware them it. It was a blast out there with perfect weather and great fishing.
