fishing report to sept. 17th

Friday, September 18th, 2009

It has been crazy good, have located a school of big reds in the bay. they have been in the same area for about 2 weeks. see them pushing/ raising the water in 2 feet of water. Then in the deeper water you will see that pretty penny color/shape easing around. Does not matter 2 rods 3 rods 4 rods.. Cast a broke tail white bait into it and it is a instant hookup. We are getting fish to 20 pnds.. The trout are great, blues spanish, ladyfish… They crush topwater plugs in the middle of the day.. some trout are pushing the 5 pound mark. When I get the meat hunters it is like man I have a hour of just fish cleaning,, lolol.. but it is all good glad to see the smiles and hear the talk of a great meal ahead…

Fishing report for august.

Friday, September 18th, 2009

It has been a hot month.. Snook, Redfish, spotted seatrout, spanish macks, pompano have been plentifull. Yesterdays trip put redfish and macks on a menu for my customers.. White bait is thick, clearwater and high tides are getting some great action against the mangroves. early morning topwater is a real blast. schools of fish feeding on top are keeping me busy with every rod bent over.. fly fishing is also great now, both on the beach and over the grass flats. spotted sea trout to 5 pounds are coming to the boat.. sept will be a great month for fishing, the redfish and snook will turn. the kids I have had the pleasure of fishing with.. Really love the action of the blues, spanish, trout and ladyfish that provide great action.. if you have questions just call, hotels, restaurants. hope to see you aboard..
