Charter 04-05-2012 w/ Scott and Jace





WOW! I should end the report there. Today was one of those days where everything just goes together. We started off the morning throwing topwater lures. We had some monster blow ups and put a few decent trout on the boat. We then went and got a bunch of really nice redfish and an over slot trout. All this and we are only an hour or so into the trip. We decided to go and try for an over size redfish. Well we found a fat redfish that was a great fight on 10 pound test. They actually both hooked the redfish in the mouth which was fun to watch both of these guys fight the fish together. Needless to say the redfish did not stand a chance. Not sure who hooked the fish first but both hooks were in the mouth. After that we decided to go try some sight fishing. We found a school of redfish and they each had a turn to watch there redfish eat there bait right next to the boat. That covers most of the redfishing that we have, and they did it all in one trip. What a blast.

Charter 04-04-2012 w/ Hank and his 2 sons


I had Hank and his 2 boys out for a little fishing today. Once again we had another great day of catching som quality redfish. All of the fish today put up some great drag screamimg runs. It is great that the water is getting warmer and the fish are happy and hungry.

Charter 04-03-2012 w/ Phil, Ben, and Ken




Today I had repeat client Phil and he brought his son and father in law. It was another great day of redfishing. The redfish have been really fired up this week. Everyone today got in the action.We have been having some fat redfish and they have been putting up some great fights. Spring fishing is in full swing. Looking forward to next year guys.

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.
