Bass Poppers??? Redfish Poppers!!!!
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 […]
Spring has Sprung
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 […]
Late Winter Sheepshead Madness
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 […]
Top Water to Save the Day
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 […]
End of December Pics
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 […]
Ridiculous December Double
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 […]
Catching up on some Fly Fishing Reports
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 […]
Going for Fly Fishing Records
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 […]
More November Slobs
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 […]
Fly Fishing for Redfish in November
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.
