Bound for the Lagoon

My brother Matt and I did a week long road trip down to the Mosquito Lagoon in sunny Florida.  We left the house and it was 19 degrees out, and we arrived in mid 70s sunshine.  We had a blast fishing from sun up to sun down every day, with some great surfing thrown in the mix.  Very enjoyable trip.  Not to mention, the fishing was awesome! Here are a couple teaser photos, we have tons of video footage, and I’ll put it link up when it’s done. Thanks for checking!

Update: here is the video link, ENJOY!

“Off-season”

Alot of times people ask me what this place looks like in the off season.  Most of the people that fish with me only see this place as a mad house during the summer.  Well I grabbed my drone and flew over the sound to capture some shots of the sound that is FROZEN OVER!  Here you go. . . . Outer Banks in the winter.

2015 Bookings

Just wanted to let everyone know that I have started to book days for 2015 already.  Don’t worry – the calender is basically still WIDE OPEN, but bookings are slowing filling in so if you have a specific date you want – don’t wait! Give me a shout and lets get you on the calender.

Freezing Evening

28 Air temp, 46 water temp. Patrick and I were ice skating on the boat. Got a few studs. Haven’t been fishing the Ditch nearly as much as the past few years, but each trip produces one over 27″ along with plenty of mid 20s fish.  This is the first winter that the power plant will not be pumping hot water.  Nobody really knows what to expect as the water temp continues to drop.   We haven’t had a problem getting them to bite yet!

Florida trip

Just returned home from a pretty long stay in the New Smyrna Beach area as well as a week in Disney World.  I drove down a few days before early to get in some fishing in the Mosquito Lagoon.  Really enjoyed exploring some new grounds and finding some solid fish.  I caught redfish the first couple days, and got on an excellent topwater trout bite on my last evening in the lagoon.  I also drove south to Merrit Island one of the days when it was super windy and hopped on a boat with Capt Willy Le of Native Fly Charters to try and land my first tarpon.  Great trip!
