GIRLS DAY OUT!

Yesterday I had April and Bobbie on board for a day of fish catching action. They came all the way from south Carolina with husbands James and Walter who are fishing the RDFISH Tourney Friday. James set up the trip for the girls while they are out pre fishing the redfish. I went over the maps with James pointing him to some redfish area’s to scout and the girls and I loaded up and in search of speckled trout. April and Bobbie caught on real quick and in no time trout were jumping in the boat, they kept me pretty busy for a solid hour. A couple of moves and the limit was full. April said it was better than shopping for shoe’s AWESOME! The best fishing trip of their lives and it was not over. Time to get some redfish which proved a little tougher several spots but finally we found a few and the drags and girls were screaming. Great day on the water for sure and plenty fish to go back home with.
THE FISHING IS ON RIGHHT NOW AND I HAVE QUITE FEW DAYS OPEN SO GIVE ME ACLL AND COME CATCH YOU SOME.

Teusday back at it again with AJ Dempster and his Dad and Don. Started off right in the trout then they stopped cold with little to no bites for over an hour till we found them tearing up a school of shrimp. Finished up and left them biting.

Fall Fishing Start Up!

Perfect weather yesterday nice and cool in the morning comfortable all day. Brandon brought along his wife Chelsea and good friend Travis who is just out of the army, Thanks for your service Travis. Ray Huntzicker also joined the group to do some filming and catch a few fish. Things started out a little slow we picked away at the scattered trout for awhile building a box. About mid morning we got on a good bite of nice trout and drums with shrimp under a cork and by noon the box was full. Great day on the water it looks like the trout are starting to make their move to the fall pattern.
