Month: May 2013

September 29, 2003 — North, South, East and West The last two weeks we have had winds from every direction, along with RAIN, RAIN and some more rain. The rain along with fall high tides, is keeping the bay one-foot and more above normal. A lot of our trout...

September 15, 2003 — Come-On Cool Weather After 15 straight days on the water I get to catch up on the fishing reports. During this period I had the privilege to fish some outstanding anglers, friends and my brother and his group. Fishing has been somewhat...

May 12, 2003 — WIND, WIND, SWING SETS & SON-IN-LAWS What can be more frustrating after nine days of continuous 25 plus M.P.H. winds? Try putting together a large swing set for the granddaughter with the wrong instructions provided! After fishing the last...

October 15, 2006 — “Rain” With all the rain we have had the last few days, get ready for us to really light-up. Boy those BIGGGGGG TROUT love that sweet water. With all the rain we have had look for the bay to turn on for a massive fall feed. With out the fresh...

October 27, 2005 — Finally a Real Cool Front!!!! After continued dismal fishing conditions the past two weeks: a BRIGHT SPOT!!!! With the arrival of our first real cool front the fish seem to have responded.  Can’t remember going into the last of Oct. with 80...

October 18, 2005 — Holy Toledo The NLCS and local conditions are apparently a symbiotic relationship: dramatic strikeouts and long long homeruns!  Just like the serving of disappointment served up by the diminutive David Eckstein and goliath Fat Albert of the...

October 9, 2005 — Fall…Finally Man, for a while there it appeared that Mother Nature had reinvented herself into Eddie Murphy's Aunt Bunny that if you recall from Delirious took 15 minutes to fall down a flight of stairs.  Well, Mother Nature finally...

October 2, 2005 — It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year Ah, sounds like the refrains from a Christmas Carol.  October is typically the month to usher in cooler waters, lighter winds, and more active fish.  But man is it hot, the fish are still following...

October 9, 2003 — FALL REDS Water temperatures remain in the upper 70s providing a comfortable wade without waders.  Red fishing continues to be great.  Fishing North provided non-stop action for the past three days.  Reds were found from knee to chest deep...

October 18, 2001 — TROUT, REDFISH, FLOUNDER and BIG JACKS We hosted 15 fishermen from TSM, Inc. this past weekend. Wind gusts to 30 mph. forced us to the East cut for both days fishing.  Fish were in the guts along the edges in 3 to 4 foot of water. Best fishing...

May 18, 2003 — Wind, Wind and Reds After almost three weeks of 20 M.P.H. plus winds the pattern may have changed today. We awoke this morning with Old Glory not standing straight out like it was starched. Hopefully we can now get into our regular wind patterns. ...

May 29, 2003 — Nutter Butter Cookies, Chips Ahoy and Ye Haw had the pleasure to fish a friend and his six-year-old son yesterday. It’s amazing how one is put in their place when conditions are right and you can stand back and see the big picture. More about this...

May 8,2004 — Storms, Wind and Lots of Rain The past two weekends have kept all of us on the water, on our toes. Saturday May 1 we had 50 plus M.P.H. winds and heavy rains. Saturday May 8 dealt us 3 plus inches of rain. Despite these adverse weather conditions we...

May 27, 2006 — And now, for a Break in the Action…. Wow, so this is what a break feels like!  We have been absolutely slammed; however, can not really say we have been slamming the fish.  Offshore is absolutely on fire with a number of double digit...

May 12, 2006 — They Jumping in the Boat, or HOLY CRAP The fish called; 'They want their lips back.”  To say we caught a few fish this week, would be like saying Ernest Hemingway wrote a few books.  As my dear friend's cajun uncle would say,...

May 2, 2006 — Let the Grind Begin Well May is here and ushers in the true beginning of our season.  With more days on the water than off, we will have a bead on all types of fishing and fish.  With Teddy and Dad chasing trout to their hearts content, Frank and...

May 29, 2005 — The Good, The Bad, The Ugly!!!!!!!!! The past week has again been very interesting! The first of the week we had a good consistent bite on trout and reds. Then here comes the weekend and boom! CHANGE!!! In defense of the weekend, we expected a...

May 22, 2005 — Even Speckled Trout Get the Blues 2005 has so far proved to be a very unique, frustrating, unpredictable, and mind-numbingly indecisive year.  Trout have seemingly been mourning our slight case of brown tide and refusing to bite.  However, with...

May 15, 2005 — Those Fish Pull, Eh? The beauty of this job is the number of very interesting and colorful people we get to meet.  The week has been extremely busy and yet rewarding.  Sunday evening we had 42 Canadians join us from Calgary Alberta.  To say these...

May 8, 2005 — WIND, WIND, BUT!!! We Have Water!!!!! We found the fish along the edge of the I.C.W. in about 5 to 6 foot of water. The trout are feeding on small baitfish and shrimp, the birds pinpointed them for us. If you notice a current cast up current and...

May 1, 2005 — The North Wind Just Can’t Stay Away!!!!!! Our weather is still confusing as HECK. Just when we think we are in a spring wind pattern here comes a howling North Wind. Sat. saw STRONG NORTH WINDS making everyone run for cover. Prior to the north...
