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!

Its been a while.

Its been a while since my last post. Sorry. New one tonight.

I hope this finds everyone well and in full Holiday Spirit. The fishing has been phenomenal this entire year and the past few weeks have been no exception. The trout are really biting now and the redfish have continued to surprise us with every trip. They are both in the harbor and around the waterway, especially closer to the inlets. Contrary to what my not so common since tells me, they have actually been biting in the 51-54 degree water instead of the warmer waters back in the sounds. I think water depth and clarity are a bigger factor right now due to the rain as of recent. The trout are hanging from 4 -10 feet deep in some spots and the reds are all mixed in. Live shrimp and minnows are always a good bet but the new Z-Man clear shrimps have been catching them just fine. On foggy or overcast days, the Red Ripper Spoon Buzzers from Nemire Lures have been destroying the reds and trout! Sheepshead are swarming on slack tides on any under water structure as well as the pilings in the waterway. Even one pole can hold 10-15 fish right now! The key to winter time fishing is less lead, lighter FLOROCARBON leaders and smaller hooks. On your topwater plugs, take the old hooks off amd down size them. if there are three hooks, remove the middle ones. If the bait still has good action, you'll catch more fish!
On another note, I am running a special for Christmas this year. Anyone who buys a 1/2 day inshore trip Gift Certificate before Christmas, gets another one for free, as well as 2 visors and 2 coozies. They make great gifts. Especially if you think the recipient will ask you to go with them. Also, I can give full price receipts for tax deductions. If you think your going to go next year, its worth it! All come with my guarantee also, if we don't catch what we are after, you get to go again for free. Thanks and I hope the holidays are safe and wonderful for all of you!
