April Update

It's been a great month of fishing. 24 trips down this month and ready for more. The redfish have been biting all year with the exception of the coldest week we've had in over a decade. Luckily, it did not stay cold enough to kill off any trout or redfish. The bite has slowly shifted from large schools of reds eating whole and cut mullet to smaller schools of big and medium sized fish eating blue crabs. The big trout are showing up in droves right behind the menhaden. I still have some days open for the last week in April and first week in May so hurry while they are biting! I am also taking reservations for a limited number of kite fishing trips and tarpon trips! I hope everyone is well and remember, you can't catch em sittin on the couch.

The Cardinal family on a hot redfish bite!

The weather was cold and sunny and we had plenty of bait. The first sitings of the day came from Tim on the bow. He said "look, I can see one swimming in the grass". As I lifted my head to see what he was referring to, I noticed an entire school of 100+ fish wondering slowly through the grass in front of us. We caught three nice ones in a row and then a bottle nosed dolphin showed up for breakfast and as quickly as it all started, it was over. The fish froze up and wouldn't touch a bait.

Where they at?

Cold morning this morning but the wind laid down and the sun came out. Found a bunch of reds in shallow on the low tide but they wouldn't eat. We only threw artificials though. They probably would have eaten the Blue Crabs but we were just scouting for some new schools. Also found a nice school of big trout up on a redfish flat. Never seen trout there before but they were lathargic and they also would not eat. It's going to be going off though real soon if these warm days keep coming. Catch em up

We were covered up in the Redfish all day long yesterday. Maybe not all day. They were tough to find in the morning up the Wando. Went to the same spots I've been fishing for three weeks and there have been over 200 fish in one of them. But yesterday, no dice. Wind was out of the North and it had rained all night so that didn't help. So we switched gears and ran around the point and up the waterway to Capers Inlet where we found a nice school of reds in the 20-30 inch range. Worked hard but finally found some!

Blame it on the rain!

Sitting at the computer watching it rain cats and dogs. 3 cancelled trips so far since Friday. Either cold, rainy, or both. Tomorrow is looking good though and I have a trip at noon. I'll keep you posted.

Fishing has been great the past couple of weeks and continues to get better as the sunny days get longer. I have some prime time openings next week and would love to fill them. Anybody who mentions reading this blog will receive a 50.00 discount or an extra hour of fishing time. I hope everyone is well and remember, you can't catch em sitting on the couch!

Raining today so I guess its time for tackle maintenance. Remember, change out your line if your reels have been sitting all winter and make sure you use a reel grease and not a lube like WD40. If you have any questions on reel repair or maintenance, drop em right here. Let me know.

January at its finest!

Oh man the fish are swarming. Tons of Redfish and Trout up on the flats right now. Schools of 15 - 32 inch fish in moderately sized schools of 10-50 fish. They are eating everything, literally. Good luck and feel free to post some pics, videos, and comments, on my Facebook page!

January Sunshine

Fished today with Capt. Graham Hegermayer and Capt. Tucker Blythe. Found a bunch of reds and threw the fly for a while. It's warming up and there were some tailing fish for a change. Live or dead bait would have crushed them! Got two bites on the Z-man clear shrimp but the rest were looking for crabs. The blue crabs are going to be the bait of choice for the next few months!This weekend should be awesome fishing! I have some spots open if you want to go!
