Really hot today with very little breeze - the later being totally unforcast. Truthfully, it was pretty slow for Lee and Raven - the Spanish were a no show and the sharks didn't show so we decided to take advantage of the calmer seas and brave the nearshore wrecks. It was pretty, just swelly. Immediately [...]
A few hours can make a big difference - the morning was forcast to be a moderate N10-15 wind that was decreasing all day. It started off fine but increased to E20. Thanks NOAA. John and Sims had a slow morning but we caught a few fish including a nice black tip. Just no flounder. [...]
Today I had Grant and Don - 2 fun boys from Tennessee! Last year we has a great day with reds but this year we wanted to try something different. The morning started off calm and we did a job on the big Spanish - waxing them on live bait. All were between 4-6lbs - [...]
Trevor is an avid fly angler, and having been set up by me to fish for reds with another guide (and having a great trip), we decided to try something different. On our way out, We started off the day seeing a large creature wallowing in the shallows near the MHC port.. I was thinking [...]
I look forward to fishing with Drew and Pete all summer - these boys beat out anglers 5 times their age. Of course their parents, Beth and Dave, aren't bad either.... :) We started out the day with the big Spanish - it was not a stupid hot as the day prior but it was [...]
Mon - I had (favorite) regulars Dave and Beth. We started looking for mahi but abandoned that quickly to look for grouper. It was on - we caught a bunch of gags as well as a scamp. Big sea bass were thick. We ended up on a wreck with an excellent AJ bite on jigs. [...]
Tough day today - bad thunderstorms made us leave late and while it was windless the evening blow left us with a nasty swell. The swell did cause Ralph to make an appearance but the troopers held on - bites were tough to come by but the Rimkos salvaged the day and found a few. [...]
Great time with the Norris's today - slick calm, cool and overcast. Our 6hr trip went well - we got a limit of bass, several big flounder (excluding one that jumped out of the net) and Thomas even found a 34" drum on the wreck! Great morning guys!
There's a difference between inshore and near offshore and that difference is mahi- mahi and grouper And the grouper bite is outstanding - the new regulations for gag grouper (implemented 3yrs ago) are working wonders and there are excellent numbers of them out there. But - back to the difference. While I catch some grouper [...]
...been a long time since I posted a report. For one, I spent the second half of may in Alaska with my wife. We enjoyed some great fishing and I'll post some pics in the near future. It's been pretty windy this week but we've managed some good flounder fishing in the ocean and today [...]
