Broke the curse!

My cousins are in town from Mississippi this week.  Of course, we had to go fishing.  Super stoked that we got my recent cobia curse off the boat this morning with a couple nice ones.  We did manage to break off a 70+ on the trim tabs, but we stuck it out and got them each a nice fish.  Back to the dock at 11 to go grab some lunch before my 1pm trip.

This afternoon I had Jim and his crew.  We filled the bait box with croakers and headed out.  I was going to take em to catch some jacks, but stumbled on a pretty change with grass and blue water.  Trolled it for a while and got 2 mahi bites, saw a ton more.  Surprised to see mahi that wouldn’t bite – unusual….  Luckily we came up on a pair of cobia on the way in and got one.. Dinner!    Thanks guys – see you next year!

Jacks and Drum

Had some excellent Jack fishing on my morning trip. Surrounded the boat and fed them live bait over and over. Fun fishing.   Had a steady drum bite going for Matt and crew this afternoon.   Thanks for fishing with me guys – and thanks for checking!

Slammer Jammer

My boat is down with a pretty significant repair needed. Hopefully itll go quickly and smoothly.   Luckily, my awesome buddy Patrick who happened to of purchased my old boat that I used for guiding let me use it while mines in the shop.   I miss that rig – its a very fishing friendly layout.    We started off the morning fishing hard for 1 keeper flounder.  Made a move and found an awesome drum bite.   Played with them for a while before changing back up to meat fishing.  Grinded hard and managed a beautiful 24.5″ trout.  Thanks guys!

Making memories

Had Leif and his Father and Grandfather on board for a nice Father’s Day gift trip.   He really wanted to catch sharks so we drifted the chum back and caught some sharpies and a blacktip.   Got lucky and hit a motherload of big drum on the way in.  Nice bonus.  However, a little further in my boat decided to break down and we had to get towed in.  Memories……
