I've teamed up with Capt. Lee Sykes of Finaddict charters and boy, we habe been hammering the backwater fish together. Lee is a full time guide and a real class act - and this guy has got some TALENT. He had made my head spin with his knowledge of the trout and sheepshead. I will [...]
What an incredible ride lately - seriously. The nearshore ocean fishing has been absolutely breath-taking. The spanish mackerel are in the inlet and on the beach like late summer...the king mackerel are thick and crushing our baits...the cobia are all around us...and the amberjack fishing is absolutely INSANE. Topwater & fly rod - you name [...]
5/28 - It was a nasty day. 80 degrees, muggy with a sloppy wind of SW 15. By the time we came in it was blowing out of the North 20, the temp was 65 and it was raining. I had the day off and, my wife, Katie wanted to catch a cobia (you know [...]
Today I had the pleasure of fishing with Wayne and his wife Angela. It was a weird day - it was chilly all day and it started off blowing 15-20 out of the NW, slicked up for a few hours and finished off 15-20 out of the SW. Strange. Things were definitely a bit messed [...]
5/16 PM - My good Buddy Capt. Gordon Churchill called me this afternoon and told me, even though it was blowing 20+ knots...the tide was decent and he was looking for tailers...and I was invited. I simply can't turn down some quality time with a good friend and his awesome little flats boat. We hit [...]
First of all - let me say this. What fantastic fishing and what TERRIBLE weather. I think I've had my worst cancellation rate for May that I've ever had. However, when I get out - we are absolutely SMOKING the fish. Bonito, big blues, a decent flounder bite - and today (5/14) - we even [...]
After two crappy years of striper fishing in Weldon - 2008 was finally back to normal. While a friends wedding and other schedule conflicts (aka - all the great fishing at the coast!) prevented me from fishing my usual 7 or so days, I still managed to get up there for a few days. While [...]
From just a few days ago...
Here's a nice recap of what's gone on the last 10 days or so during which I've finally had a good, long stretch of weather to fish. [b]Inshore[/b] - the Red bite remains very good with much of the fishing rated from extremely good to excellent. We've been doing a lot of low tide fishing [...]
One of my clients took some great video of his daughter fighting a cuda - and he got a photo of it rocketing out of the water mere feet from the gunnel! Check it out! This was the fish....59', 40lbs+
