No Bait! No Problem!



Today was great. Myself and my fiance Deanna went out for a bit. We searched a bit for bait with no luck. So we decided to use artificials. The first spot we went to the bite was not on. So we trucked onto our next spot where we landed two reds,four flounder and a nice trout. Then we tried one of my old spots and low and behold a nice 8lb snook jumped on my gulp. It was a great day all the fish were caught with Berkley Gulps on a 1/8 ounce jig head.Keep the fishin reports coming and good luck.

Fishin with the Edman's.

I took 3 generations of the Edman's family fishin today. The morning started out beautiful. We were going to do a little jigging and stumbled upon some nice white bait. We caught a few small trout then tried to get a keeper snook. That was almost an impossible chore due to the full moon the past few nights. The snook have been feeding heavily at night because of the moon. I found a nice area with a bunch of upper slot and oversized snook layed up but no luck. We switched gears to redfishing after that. We managed to boat 5 oversized reds. What a great fight they were. There were a few keepers mixed in but they seemed to release themselves at the boat hmmm. Ah no big deal. They will just be waiting for us next time. I really enjoyed the trip and wanted to thank the Edmans for a great time. Pics of the trip are soon to follow. Tight lines.

Old pics but good ones!

Mike, Louie and Josh with some nice fish we caught. I am looking forward to the summer when we can fish again.

The Allen boys!



We started out the morning by trying to get some bait. That was a job. We ended up using the Sabiki rig offshore to get some nice threads and whitebait. Then we moved to the rocks. We started out with a few nice snook and got broken off by a few big boys. We landed a few nice big jacks also. When we were done with that we tried to do a little redfishing but the tide was slack so the reds were reluctant to help us out. All and all it was a great day fishing. We will get the reds next time stay tuned!

A bit windy.

We started out in the morning with a run out to the marker for bait. It is very hard to get right now. We ended up with two livewells full of threads after about an hour. We started fishing some docks and mangroves. We pulled about 8 or 10 snook out of the docks. There are some big snook in the passes now you better beef up on your tackle. we also managed a 5 pound red out of one of my holes and a few big jacks up to 10 pounds. The day went well with Mike and his two boys from England. Hope to see them back soon. Some pics of our trip will follow soon. Tight lines and good luck.
