I waited until April 7th to write this report because of the big rain event we had over the weekend.  I wanted to address how six inches of rain water would affect our fishery.  Now I know. Beaver and Table Rock lakes rose several feet and both have crested. Now we know about how much […] The post April 2025 Fishing Report appeared first on Lilley...

Boy what a front that was that came thru last night as the Mighty Gators brought home their 3rd NCAA Basketball Championship! We had thunder lighting and a steady downpour for....at least 10 minutes but it caused the temperature to drop a good 20 degrees from the previous day. I met David Barrow and his two sons Cole and Knox up at Old Town Bait...

Yesterday was chilly but people did get out to fish. It was another nymph nd streamer day. The snow covered the ground in the higher elevations but melted by mid morning. The wind will make today tough so it’s likely another day of nymphs and streamers. It feels like early March again. Find some protected …

It's been an especially windy Spring season and it's brought especially tough fishing conditions from offshore to the beaches and inlets; but there's still some really good fishing to get after -- you just have to look in the right places. For inspiration just check out Knox Robinson's great writeup on Backwater Bassin' Crane and Turkey Creeks in...

I was back to work today fishing with the Bailey family -David and Allyson and their son John David. We met early up at Old Town Bait and Tackel knowing that the wind was going to be blowing just a bit and increasing as the day progressed and it did. Our first stop was down the intracoastal and after dipping into a small creek David and Allyson f...

Last week we finally got to see some significant baetis hatching. There have still been plenty of daily midges and even some March browns (down low). The baetis have been hatching best when the clouds roll over although sporadic hatches can happen even on sunny days as well. If you don’t see any risers baetis...

7 inches of rain. A major cold front and the lingering effects of redcrest. This week was all about adjustments. 80% of the lake got dirty and the water levels fluctuated daily. Monday we landed 37 but the effects of the rain were not in full force yet. Tuesday and Wednesday we landed 14 each day and couldn't get a bite until we found cl...

When summer calls, few destinations answer quite like Belize. Nestled along the Caribbean coast of Central America, Belize is a place where crystal-clear waters meet swaying palms, coral reefs teem with life just offshore, and the rhythm of daily life slows to match the waves. Whether you crave underwater exploration, open-sea fishing, or a qu...

We had a beautiful sunrise today when I met Steve Locke and his son Justin out at Goffinsville Park this morning. I mentioned to Steve that we were getting some nice Trout and a few small Slot Redfish but we hadn't been getting nay BIG ones. Right. We made a quick run down the river and around to Seymore's Pointe where I thought we'd get some Se...
