Charter 04-12-2012 w/ Mark and family
I had Mark and his 2 boys out today. It is amazing that sometimes the wind can just kill a bite. The day started off very windy today. We searched a few places with a very slow bite. Then the wind died down for 30 minutes and the creeks came alive. We had wakes all around the boat. We were able to get a few casts into the hole and when the wakes came near us, fish on. They were able to get 2 nice redfish before the winds picked back up and the bite slowed down again. It was a tough bite but a fun day none the less.
Charter 04-11-2012 w/ Harvey and family
The fishing started out great and it only got better from there. The redfish were again feeding like there was no tomorrow. We had a fish on the first cast and on the last cast. Everybody was able to get in on the action today. They also got one of the larger bluefish of the year which was able to burn some great drag.
Charter 04-10-2012 w/ David, Nolan, and Brionna
Thank goodness that the wind is finally done. The redfishing was back on fire today. Everybody was able to get there largest redfish that they have ever caught today. We had a few that were pushing the 10 pound mark. It was just a beautiful day and the redfish were very happy as well.
Charter 04-06-2012 w/ Robert and his family
Today I had Robert his dad and his son. The front that came thru yesterday was making it very windy. It was a very tough bite but we were still able to find a few fish that were still a little hungry. It is amazing what 24 hours can do to the fishing but I know that there was one very happy 8 year old today.
Charter 04-05-2012 afternoon trip w/ Dave
I had an afternoon fly fishing trip. Unfortunately there was a front on the way and the great morning weather was gone and the wind was upon us. It was a fly only trip. Dave had been to different parts of Florida in the past to try and get a redfish on fly but had been unsuccessful. It was my turn to help him succeed. The winds were blowing at over 20 m.p.h. but I knew where some hungry redfish were hanging out. After a miss or two he connected with a middle slot redfish and had his first redfish on fly. It was a great feeling helping somebody achieve there goals of getting there first redfish on fly. Maybe next yer I will be able to get him his first tarpon on fly.
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.
