Sorry for the lax reports - the week of the 4rth is always a long, busy week. This year is was a long, busy and sweltering hot week. But the fishing was good - decent Spanish in the inlet and nearshore, good big shark fishing, great wreck fishing for flounder (if I can get there!), [...]
Another hot morning of calm winds - ocean was a bit swelly. As soon as we got to the wreck we started getting bites and catching flounder. Unfortunately our fun was not to last as a couple of sick campers was not make for the type of fun that fishing is supposed to be. Even [...]
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!
