9/20 – A few recent trips.
Inshore - the red drum fishing continues to get better and better as we work in October. The fish have been chewing on topwater and on popping corks - and we've been finding a good number of nice speckled trout mixed in as well. Late Sept and early October are some of my favorite times to fish in the backwaters! [...]
New Inshore Boat! 19′ Pathfinder Fusion…and great redfishing!

A few August Trips..

The backwater drum fishing was excellent this year, and we had a great time with the Sharks (both big boys and bonnetheads), spanish mackerel and amberjacks. When we could get out - we had [...]
