I've got a short week with prepping for the AIGA Inshore Classic - Captain's Meeting tomorrow 6pm at Old Town Bait and Tackle. We had a bit of wind to deal with today but my anglers Mike and Sharon Conlon were up for the challenge with support from their pup Foxxy!  We met up at the Old Town Bait and Tackle boat ramp and eased out of Eagans Creek...

It's almost downhill when your first fish of the day is an oversized Redfish! I had met Scott er and his father-in-law Gary down at Sawpit Creek late this morning - we wanted to take advantage of some warmer weather and an outgoing tide. It was at the top of the tide when we arrived up at Pumpkin Hill and set out float rigs as the tide eased to...

That's how the water was today not a ripple. And a whole lot of sunshine after the sun got up. I had met Steve Locke and his fishing buddy Tony out at Goffinsville Park and after making a quick run down the Nassau we set up at Twin Creeks to fish float rigs with live shrimp on a tide that still had a couple of hours of coming in to do. Nibbles. T...

I was back to work today - it was a pretty day but just a bit windy. I met Dan Streitz and his sons Dan andDavid down at Sawpit Creek boat ramp. The wind was blowing around 10mph and expected to get up to about 12 so fishable but challenging. And these guys were up to the challenge!  We made a run up the intracoastal kept left and went up thru Ba...

What a beautiful morning to wrap the week up with!  I met David Vice and his fishing buddies Robert and Lee out at the Goffinsville Park boat ramp as the sun was coming up. The tide had been going out for about an hour as we eased away from the dock and made our way around the corner to Seymore's Pointe to fish a grassy point with float rigs and...

The wind we had yesterday was gone today boy what a beautiful day to be out fishing!  I met Gene Burk and his fishing buddy Steve Stark down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp early - the tide had been going out a couple of hours - and we made our way up the intracoastal all the way up to Poteat Point where we set up with float rigs and live shrimp....

I was a little concerned when I checked the weather last night for todays fishing trip. It called for a bit of wind at 11mph rising to 16mph as the day progressed. But when I killed the alarm and looked at it again over my yogurt and granola it had dropped down to 8mph rising to 14mph.  I met Will Hacker and his step father Doug up at the Old To...

Note: The last few days we've had the last of an outgoing tide and we've been getting Redfish at drainages and cuts between oyster beds - handfuls of small Reds but sometimes some slots and today two Oversized Reds. Throwing jigs and live shrimp. This morning I met Scott Jones and his fishing team made up of Ann and Meridee meeting them early up a...

With the weather getting better and the tides not so high the fish catching is getting....great!  I met Pete Nolan his daughter Sydney and their friend Lyle down at Sawpit Creek boat ramp early this morning- we had clear skies only a tad bit of wind and it was just cool enough for a light jacket. We made a 12 minute run up the intracoastal and d...

After almost a weeks' worth of windy and rainy weather we had a beautiful one today!  I had met Hank Prolog and his fishing buddies Ron and Harry down at Sawpit Creek boat ramp early and with the tide almost at the bottom we ran up the intracoastal and then up the Nassau to make our first stop at a nice drainage with plans to pitch jigs and live...

This crazy weather is making it difficult to get our trips in! Just like last week there was a window of opportunity yesterday where the winds died and the storms subsided so we got out for a beautiful day of fishing! I had met Garland Clark and his friend Susanna down at Sawpit Creek boat ramp early and we made our way up the intracoastal turned...

That storm that passed way out in the Atlantic threw some wind and rain our way enough so that I had to cancel my Monday trip and it looks like the wind will pick back up tomorrow thru the weekend but there was a bit of a lull this morning so we squeezed a trip in. I met Tim and Laura Wolfe down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp. It was still somewha...

Short and brief today - quite a banner day! 10 Slot Reds caught by Brian Roach his son Mike and their friend William Blalock. First of the incoming tide tossing jigs and mud minnows to drainages and exposed shell banks. The first two hours was on fire. They added a good handful of smaller Reds some Ladyfish some Catfish some small Flounder then t...

I was back down at the south end today fishing with the Soper Team - Larry and his sons Garrett and Dustin. We left the Sawpit Creek boat ramp as the sun came up and made a long run up the Nassau to make our first stop at Broward Island. The tide still had a few minutes of going out so we set up on the south end and began to pitch jigs and live s...

Boy what a pretty day we had...sunshine just a slight breeze and mild temperatures. I had met Brian Ahrens and his sons Henry and Oscar down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp on a tide that had just started in. We made a long run up the Nassau to make our first stop at Broward Island - it was a gamble but it paid off! Oscar had gone in first with a c...

We had almost zero wind this morning and clear skies when we finally saw them! I had met Gordon Fowler and his fishing buddy Reid up at the Old Town Bait and Tackle boat ramp just after sunrise and after easing out of Eagans Creek to the main river we hit some fog and had to creep over to our first spot - just off of Tyger Island. I think the fi...

I was back at it today fishing with David and Lynn Beauchamp meeting them early down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp. We kicked off a busy week of fishing I hope if the weather cooperates. We were about an hour into our trip today when 15 minutes of rain passed over us but luckily we all had rain coats! Our first stop was up the Nassau at Spanish...

Boy you can feel that fall weather in the air! It wasn't quite nippy this morning but it definitely was a bit cooler which made for a fine fishing day here at Amelia Island. I had met Alex and Kelly Mckinney and their son-in-law Kyle up at the Old Town Bait and Tackle boat ramp as the sun came up and we headed out of Eagans Creek thinking we'd mak...

We knew that the wind was supposed to pick up today as we fished so we got out early and got some good catches in before it really picked up. I met David Morton and his son Charlie down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp and we headed up the intracoastal then up the Nassau to make our first stop at Spanish Drop. I had planned to keep going on up to S...

In 1891 they patented and launched  the Perfect fishing reel  to complement the fishing lures they sold. It was successful and they received a royal warrant f...
