Dubs

Fish with Matt and company this morning.  We departed the ramp at 0600 and headed to the fishing grounds.   We arrived to some calm glassy conditions with little bait pods moving around.  It looked promising and we nailed a trout on the first or second cast.  I decided to move up into shallower water to try and find the guys a red.  No luck there so we moved back out and get some nice solid trout in the boat include a 21 incher.  Picked away at them with some throwback trout drum flounder and striper.  We managed a few more keeper trout and Eric who caught the 21 inch trout also hit a nice 19 inch drum later in the morning.  Once the sun got up things went pretty dry with a hit here and a hit there in the last hour of the trip. Overall these guys were pumped and I enjoyed there company.

Sweatshirts in August

I had Matt and company on Thursday morning.  We had some throwback drum and one keeper in the box.  I made a long move mid morning that didn’t end up being a good one.  Good effort by the fisherman, poor showing by the fish.

Friday morning I had Larry and his son Donovon with me.  It was probably the worst weather I have had a charter in this year but we grinded out some nice dinner!  These guys braved the 25mph NE wind and borderlined chilly conditions.  We tucked away behind some points and creeks and caught some nice trout and a fat orange puppy.  With the tough conditions we also missed a few solid bites with the wind just creating so much slack in the line.   We were tucked away in a creek and a saw a gator trout 3-4lbs easy come completely out of the water on a shrimp.  We threw topwater at it for a while with no love. Glad to see some solid keeper trout showing up again after being invaded by dinks for the past month.

Thanks for fishing with me guys!

Seein red

Pup fished this morning with Tommy and what a fun morning we had. . . A dozen or so reds with some small trout mixed in.  Tommy had to blindfold me on the way there.  Great way to start the day

Triple A

I had Anthony, Andrew, and Adam with me this morning for a half day trout trip.  We managed to find the land of shorts with plenty of little guys and only 3 keepers!  We only were able to bring home two because the smart captain that I am netted a keeper, grabbed it off the hook, and instead of tossing the lure in the water and the fish in the cooler I did the opposite.  Oh well, the laugh we got out of that was more enjoyable then the trout sandwich. Haha, that was one lucky trout.  Thanks for fishing with me this morning guys, we will see ya next year!

Topwater Fun

Had an enjoyable morning with good friend Kyle along with big Time and little Tim.  We squeezed in an trip this morning and caught over 25 trout easy.  Most were small but it was alot of fun on topwater plugs.  We managed a few keepers and they took them home for dinner tonight.  Enjoyable morning fellas, thanks for the good company! As you can see, Tim didn’t want to waste time posing for a picture!
