Today my A-Team brought its A game and we had little to show for it. Totally dead until 9am when the spearing Albies showed enforce and proceeded to baffle us. We got several bites and landed a fish…and were literally in fish all day long. Tony and Perry are great anglers and worked really hard [...]
North 20 this morning brought the fish back to the beach. Scattered pods all morning and afternoon but the PM fish were a bit harder - either doing the odd 'rocketman' skying or eating little baits. Best action was clearly in the morning. Don and John performed well for me and were able to snag [...]
Sat - Not much too it. Just a few scattered pods on the beach and aggravating sippers off the beach. Weirder weather. Got a few shots and the pending gail drove us in early. Fri…it was a different story. Blowing NE20 but very fishable, we were one of only 4 or so boats on the [...]
Thurs - pretty windy and John and Harry weren't so lucky - a few trout was all she wrote. Wed - I had a great time with Seth and Ciera. Slick calm from dawn to 11am and then SW15+ for the remainder. Our day had potential to be a great one, but we just couldn't [...]
Windy today - solid 20 all morning. Albies started off slow and the water was a hair dirtier than the day prior. We struck out looking for reds in the surf....and then we started finding a few small pods of big albies - all on giant silversides. It was a drift and wait game but [...]
Another nice day with the Wylie crew today - we left later today as to let the seas lay down some with the rapidly dropping winds. We wanted action for Caroline and Suzanne, but on the way out I got a call - reds on the beach (thanks so much Chris)! We found the school [...]
We stole one from the weather gods today - supposed to be windy come midday but it was slick calm all day long. The trout eluded us this morning as we were literally eaten alive by citation-sized dinosaur lizardfish. After a few small flounder and missed redfish strikes, we finally got in the area of [...]
We had stay inside today with the building seas, but the tides were great to do some trout fishing. It was another quality bite of fish from 1-3lbs....we caught plenty of small spikes but this bite was all about quality. It would have been a really good haul if it wasn't for all the long [...]
This week has been horrible weather - and today shows what one day of north wind will do. It turned everything around. From horrible to excellent in hours. This morning started off better than average (at least for the past week) - scattered albies here and there. We got a few shots and headed on, [...]
More terrible winds today, but we did good getting in the lee and playing with a great trout bite. Mixed class of fish, but we caught plenty of 1-3lb specks. Mike did quite well on the fly. I'm dedicating this pick to my favorite speck fly angler - Burt Anderson - who I just learned [...]
