June 5, 2005 — Blow, Blow, Blow the Man Down What an incredible week of fishing!  Captain Ted started the week out on stellar 26, 27, and 29 inch trout extravaganza!  All before 11:30 in the morning.  The twenty-niner went 7.8 and just missed being the first...

June 30, 2003 — Twenty One Feet of Reds Sorry for the delay in keeping our fishing reports page up to date, but June was a very trying month with the loss of my Mother and Shirley’s Mom’s broken hip one week later. This coupled with a busy schedule left precious...

September 25, 2005 — Home Wreckers Stay Away It is hard to write a concise and entertaining fishing report when our hearts, minds, and fears were, and remain, focused on the second monstrous storm of the year to batter the gulf coast.  Our thoughts and prayers...

September 30, 2004 — DEEP , DEEP and DEEPERRRR!!! Our fall tides coupled with the storms going into Florida had our bay system 1 to 2 feet above normal. Prior to the high water our fishing could only be rated EXCELLENT! The additional high tides have scattered...

Re: Any News on Dredging? I will be giving a complete update in the next couple of days.  More in depth than you may want.  However, now with the trout issued hopefully solved, I will be lending my support to the dredging efforts.  Just making the neccassary calls now...

Re: Pop Gets Wake Up Call! Brandon; Tell your Dad that I am glad the problem was solved with stents. I had a triple by pass in 1984 and a stent in 2004. My advise to your Dad, from experience, do what the Doc says. He will feel better, have more energy and want to do...

Re: Freshwater Reports? Will get the section set up Monday! Thanks for the idea! 😉

Freshwater Reports? Brandon, What do you think about having a section for freshwater flyfishing reports?  I have two from this summer and was thinking your fly clients might enjoy exchanging freshwater reports. Wes

Wading at Night I am coming down on the weekend before July 4th and since the moon will almost be full I was hoping to get some ideas of where to go night wading in Port Mansfield.  I have done it in other bay systems like baffin but have only night fished in the East...

Tarpon in the Bay. While fishing with Charlie Buchen (Tail Chasers) on 6/14, We landed a nice little Tarpon about 30lbs. It was really a shock to hook into one while wade fishing the bay and even more of a shock to land him on 10lb. line and a 1/4oz jig. . No pictures...

baffin bay…. had a great experience in baffin bay last week landing my PR trout at 26 1/2 inches. My  buddy next to me landed a 28 1/2 weighing 8 pounds! both released to see another day….got weathered out within an hour of fishing!  even though it was a...

Re: New To Wade Fishing Ashley, Hey great name…same as my wife's!  😀 Unless on shell, or oysters, I may be the wrong person to ask becuase I frequently wade barefooted.  There are numerous stingrays in the bay; however, the water is so clear where we fish,...

Re: Pop Gets Wake Up Call! He is doing fine.  However, doing way more than he should be at this point.  We are trying to get him to 'take it easy', but you know him.  Met donkeys less stubborn!  He has the rest of the week off and hopefully he will take it...

Re: Pop Gets Wake Up Call! Brandon, Please tell your dad that we are very relieved to hear that his heart procedure was a success and that he will be back in his element next week.  My dad says to tell him to lose some weight–we all could stand to, I know I...

The Weather Channel was Right — May 14, 2007 Lo and behold, the weather men in charge of predicting this week’s weather must have stayed awake in class.  Mother Nature, did indeed, turn off her wind machine and subsequently turned on the fish.  The mud and...

What? Tinnitus! No, There is Four of Us — April 30, 2007 Unfortunately, a very real and seasonal conversation we had on my boat the past week.  With the mother of all winds blowing the last few days, I fear the tinnitus is with me permanently!  Although the...
