Although Fall is most popular, people overlook the dead of winter. Yes, during winter we get horrible fronts that will keep you off the water for days at a time. Yes, our average winter temperatures are less then desirable for most saltwater fly fishing anglers. But… If you luck out and hit it right, you […]
This winter season has been pretty good, to say the least… We have had great shots on singles, doubles and sometimes even groups of 10 or more 20+lb Red Fish. This makes the double possibility jump way up. I even got to get in the game and hook up with this 35 lber with one […]
Although this is a late report, I had to let people know about what kind of luck you can have as long as you keep booking… Kevin and Tejal started coming down to fish in Louisiana about 3 Years ago and although we had some semi-productive days, we still had to work hard for them. […]
Here are some good ones from November and early December… I have to say congrats to Mike Birge on not only catching a 32 on a popper but more importantly getting on the Sheepy board!!! No easy task… I also have to mention Jeff Stang”s personal best 38 lb red which is also still standing […]
As long as the weather allows us to get out on the water the big fish have been waiting. We have seen big fish floating, pushing, and even tailing, which is somewhat rare for us. It has been very windy recently but as long as you get the fly in their face they usually eat […]
The fishing has been good! The big fish have moved in and even on cloudy days we have been sticking some really good fish. As long as the weather is somewhat consistent the fish have been very happy… Here are some pics to prove it…
It is that time of the year when the shrimp boats are holding massive black fin and yellowfin tuna. We didn’t hook a yellowfin on the fly on this day, but a 20+ lb blackfin was certainly a battle on the 12wt. The redfish have been schooling in certain areas. The schools mostly consist of […]
Recently we have been having some great action all over the marsh. From popper fishing for small reds and sheepsheads in the ponds to outside fishing for bull reds, we’ve been trying to stay busy this summer. I had Jack and Denny back in town for a couple of days and when they are here […]
We have had a great summer with all kinds of fish being thrown at and caught. The latest being this 26 lb bull that I caught on a calm, hot, summer afternoon. Slot Fish are around in droves. I have seen groups of up to 100 fish just milling around in a pocket. We have […]
It has been a pretty good spring and not a bad start to the summer. The fish have started grouping up and we have had plenty of clean water to work with. The gator population is certainly not hurting as well. It seems like they have a gator on every turn. The Sheepsheads have also […]
Popper season is here!!!! The water is warming and our fish are starting to look up. We landed 4 bass and 7 redfish on poppers this past saturday which is a great start to the season. If you don’t know, then believe me, there is no better sound then that of a redfish sucking in […]
The grasses are here and the water is beautiful. This time of year the fish are very active cruising banks, tailing and sometimes backing showing almost half their body. It’s a good time for all types of topwater action including Poppers, Topwater plugs, and even frogs. The variety of fish is also good with the possibility of […]
Sheepshead aka Marsh Permit aka Convicts aka my new obsession. This past winter, we constantly saw these big heads tailing and cruising all over the place. Unlike some guides out there, I encouraged my clients to cast at them. Most of the time they would spook before you could get the fly to them or […]
The past few weeks have been anything but pleasant. Seems like our weather is just punishing us for having such a nice fall. Well, when you have guys that have traveled hundreds of miles to just have the opportunity to catch one of our big Bulls you have to try and make a day, no […]
Here is the rest of my December pics. Sorry it took until February to post them but we have been busy. We had the usual big fish bite in the ponds but on certain days we were able to pop outside and chase birds which is always entertaining. We mainly caught redfish from the 18-26 […]
Here is a day back in December that although started cloudy we had calm wind and very happy fish. The fish were floating so high they had the tips of their tails breaking the surface. Both casters were very talented and hit most the shots we had. We actually became a little bored catching […]
I had the pleasure of fishing with this motley crew during early December. It was composed of business men, guides, and even had a casting instructor in the group. Well with blue bird skies and relatively calm winds it was easy for these very experienced casters to just have a stickfest. In two days we caught more […]
I’ve had the pleasure of having some women anglers on board that were willing to attempt some record breaking. We did it but come to find out you haven’t done anything until you document. Tejal and Kevin were the first group to attempt the record and although Kevin caught 2 that would of done it […]
November was an absolutely incredible month as usual. We had both single big girls floating around in back bays and schools of males busting under birds on the outside edges. It’s crazy how much different these fish fight and look. The males under the birds don’t have the size of the females but they make up […]
Here is some pictures from the first 2 weeks of November. Had one flat full of sharks so we decided to stick one of those too. Trying to do a little picture catch up.
Dennis and Jack come to fish. They are both very experienced fisherman and both fish hard. Right out the gate Jack hooks up with a nice 25 lb fish. After that we kinda had a slump with big fish. We were consistently sticking fish but none were over 15 lbs. Day 2 was better. The wind died […]
These pictures cover about 5 or 6 days during mid to late October. We had a variety of fish with Mike catching a bunch of 18-24 lb fish and one that went very close to 30. Jason came in on a less then desirable day with windy and cloudy conditions. He made the most of the shots […]
It’s not too often you have clients book for the first time and arrive just after a bad weather window and leave just before the next front. Jake and Samer nailed it! Not only was the weather great but the fish were thick. The first day we hit my usual spots and did well. I […]
I’ve been fishing way too much to post recent pics but here are some pics from early to mid October. Also I had my sisters wedding which also hindered my posting.
I Had a great time with uncle Larry again. This time we had had bad weather but more time (one full day and about 4 hrs his last day). We made it happen. We caught a fair amount of 15-20 lbers on a 10 inch wide glide which was just ridiculous because it is a huge bait […]
