The Last week has had some of the best Bonito action that I have ever experienced. Not only has there been large numbers of fish - but the average size has been BIG (our average has been around 7lbs - with many over 8lbs). Mornings and evenings - it's just been RED HOT....and to top [...]
This morning I fish with two really good buds (as it was too rough for most people) - Vernon and Captain Gordon Churchill. We wanted to leave at 0darkThirty but it was a WEE BIT ROUGH to run the inlet in the dark. Well, after surfing the 8 footers in the inlet, we pounded our [...]
This week I had two days with Wright and Wright - two of my favorite, regular clients. On Thursday we somewhat struck out - we missed the Bonito bite by about 30 seconds (they were busting for awhile - until I was about 300 yds away from them) and disapeared for the rest of the [...]
This morning Katie and I went out with my friend Madison (in his boat - so i was incognito) to do a little Bonito scouting. We got a little bit of a late start, but no worries - we checked out the "pack" first and no one was catchin nothing. We plugged away for a [...]
On Friday I had the absolute pleasure of fishing with Mike and Matt - I would have loved to get these boys on some drum, but my brand new Jones Brothers Bateau is not yet finished - so we decided to go do some searching and see what we could drum up. The ocean was [...]
Youth day is one of my favorite days of the year - no only do you I get to do my favorite thing (take kids hunting) but the birds have not been pressured in a week, usually more have come down and no one is baiting the birds any longer. So they're stupid and like [...]
1/28 - Hunted with Mac and his Dad, Big Mac, in hopes of a little puddle duck action. We went to my BW/BlackDuck/Wigeon/Gadwall spot - it had been holding literally hundreds of puddlers the day before, unmolested by any hunters. I put out a gorgeous spread and got my guys ready and......nothing. We had lots [...]
We still have several days open late this week - and I still have Friday the 27th open due to a cancellation. 1/21 - Today it was my turn with the puddlers :wink: The problem lately has not been a lack of birds due to warm weather but the absolute lack of wind and clouds [...]
11/19 - Scott and I got out for a quick morning hunt and scouting trip for the last week of the season. The action was fast and furious - we hunted till 9am and had good action from shooting light onward. We had several single bluebills come in and 4 large groups that decoyed like [...]
For the first time in years, I got my busy dad to come down and hunt with me - after all, he was the man who passed on his love for fishing and hunting to myself. We had a great time and saw a lot of birds... 12/27 - Captain Scott and I took my [...]
