Tarpon

Cold, windy, cloudy day for Brad Reddinger and Jeff Rutt but they hung tough and ground out a very respectable catch.
First Tarpon of 2022 on my boat!
Even with a stagnant tide and cold water, we landed a nice variety of fish.
Thanks again guys, safe trip back up north.

Snook

Spent the day with a great family from New Jersey. Dan, his son Matt and daughter Jess.
The tides were perfect, there was no wind, and it was game on from beginning to end! Numerous big girls were landed and lost.
They were spoiled, I told them they probably should not come back the day would be hard to beat￼￼😊 
Thanks guys, safe travels home.

Sheepshead

Day two for Steve and Donna, and it was a cold day on the water in Pine Island Sound.
The good news is the fish didn’t seem to mind.
It was slow early but when the sun started to warm the water the bite was on.
Thanks again guys safe trip back up north we will see you this summer￼.

The wind was brutal but Steve and Donna wanted to go and I am glad we did.
Great day considering the conditions.
Cold air moving in let’s see what tomorrow brings.

Awesome day both trips.
Great people. Looks like bad weather now. Fish will be safe.

Had a great trip with a great family from Minnesota. Tom along with his mom and dad Rita and Craig we’re on fish from beginning to end.￼ 
We lost 2 monsters but Rita pulled it out at the end with a 32 inch snook!
Throw in some nice trout and a bunch of mangrove snapper and they have dinner for a few days￼.
We had to work for them with the wind and cooler water temperatures but the sun warmed things up and  bite was on.
Got a couple days open in late January, let’s get hooked up!

Another good day battling big snook for Steve.
A bunch of smaller ones and 2 real good ones.
He landed a few smaller ones on his flyrod and a nice Red to round out the day
￼This might be the last nice day we see you for awhile.
Big winds and a cold front coming through over the next week, it is going to be a tough one￼￼
Let’s see what tomorrow brings.

Wind and cold front beat us hard this AM but the boys stayed with it and picked away at them.


Mark and Debbie tore them up today.
Good AM tide and we tucked out of the wind the best we could.
Debbie had the hot hand landing  2 snook over 30 inches.
Thanks guys it was a blast.

Water temp really dropped and the bite was slow but the crew had fun.

Steve’s last trip of the Spring.
He wanted to finish strong and we did.
Double digit snook bite and trout every cast.
Crazy bite today.
He had a few tough trips lately but this made up for it.

No tarpon on the morning trip today.
Saw a few but no takers.
Grabbed Shelley and made a quick run and she whipped a dozen snook and a Jack!
See what tomorrow brings, light winds early hoping to get offshore.
