I wrapped up a long difficult week today fishing with the Hutchens brothers - that cold water has been tough on the fish catching totals. These guys Tom and Bob were good anglers and we fished some spots that looked absolutely beautiful - sunny skies no wind to speak of great casts outstanding drifts but there for a while it was looking like we w...

We had a beautiful day today with sunny skies just a light breeze and temperatures rising when I met Zach Peyton and his son Tyler and their friend RC up at the Old Town Bait and Tackle boat ramp. We eased out of Eagans Creek and made a short run over to the outside of Tyger Island where we set up with float rigs baited with live shrimp. We were...

I could try and sprinkle sugar on it but the honest truth is the fish catching has been going down hill the last week since that severe cold. I talked to two anglers had the boat ramp and who confirmed it with their recent fishing trips - the fish just aren't biting. When I picked up some jigs from Redfish Carl this afternoon he said he had ran u...

Those low 40's water temperatures are coming up a bit today we had it at 47 degrees. I had met Pat Andreasen his son-in-law Bryan and grandson Mason down at Sawpit Creek early this morning and we made our way up the Nassau River on the first of an outgoing tide with clear and soon to be sunny skies. That cold water we've had has stunted the fish...

I fished this morning with John Pellerin and his buddy visiting from Montana another John. Although the sun was out when we met at 8:30 it stilled seemed awful cold but that didn't last past the first run. We ran way up the Nassau and dipped into a creek and worked the bank on a tide that had been going out for about three hours. It was slow goi...

Although it was a tad cold - about 34 degrees when I launched the forecast called for winds at 10mph and sunny skies and the Weatherman nailed it. I had met Mark Averbuch and his fishing buddy Bill down at Sawpit Creek - we were all bundled for that first run and  when we pulled up to some docks at Nassauville we were out of the wind exposed to...

I had thought about putting Saturdays 26 and 25.5 fish on the Bragging Rights Board but I knew they would never stand thru the year. And today's fish proved it! I had met Gregg Fitgerald and his brother in law fishing partner John out at Goffinsville Park - it was 34 degrees on my truck thermometer when I launched and I could feel ice crunching u...

We were able to squeeze in a fishing trip yesterday morning before this bad weather came thru. I had met Mark Averbuch his son Cutler and grandson Harvey down at Sawpit Creek early - there was absolutely no wind but we did have some cloudy skies as we ran up the intercoastal then up the Nassau to make our way to some docks at Seymore's Pointe. I...

I had my first trip of 2025 this morning with Dennis Fritz and his son Douglas and grandson Ethan - we met down at Sawpit Creek boat ramp and boy what a pretty day it was albeit a tad bit chilly! But all of us were layered up and we made a quick run up the Nassau to fish some dock pilings as Seymore's Ponte on a tide that had been coming in for...

I was remiss in looking at the weather forecast - I noted that the wind was going to be a manageable 11mph but I didn't look at the rain forecast - and we paid for it! I had met William and Dara Blalock out at Goffinsivlle Park boat ramp right at a high tide and we made our way over and thru Horsehead to make our  first stop at Poteat Pointe wit...

What we do to deserve all this nasty weather? We again had overcast skies and blowing winds when I met Henry Ross and his crew down at Sawpit Creek this morning. In addition to his son Steven and daughter-in-law Ashley they also had his granddaughter Mabry along for the catching! We made a run up the Nassau all the way to Seymore's Point and set u...

We again had a forecast of some less than desirable weather and sure enough we were greeted with overcast skies and blowing winds when I met the Paradise group down at Sawpit Creek- Raymond and Catherine Harrison and Abby. But we had a plan to try and stay out of the wind as we ran up the Nassau River to fish a large outflow just north of Seymore'...

Although the forecast called for sunny skies today(it was right) it also called for wind at 11mph rising to 17mph as the trip progressed (it was right). But we had a plan! RULE#1:  Make a Plan!  I met Gregg and Dannie Fitgerald down at Sawpit Creek early this morning and it was a bit chilly. We ran up the intercoastal cut thru Back River to cruis...

The wind was blowing just a tad bit more this morning than forecasted - I had planned to hit Tyger Island to fish the first of an incoming tide but that west wind made me rethink the plan. So after meeting Patrick Davis and his son Joshua up at Old Town Bait and Tackle we made the run up Eagans Creek and found a dock to fish with jigs and live shr...

That hot November fishing has continued on into December - boy we caught some fish today! I had met Henry Ross and David Gray down at Sawpit Creek boat ramp early and it was a beautiful morning - just a slight breeze clear skies and comfortable 68 degree temperature. We made the run up the Nassau River to Seymore's Point and made our first stop...

It was 40 degrees when I came over the south end bridge and launched down at Sawpit with plans to meet Jason Ash and his long time buddy Adam for a half day of fishing. It was clear and cold with not much wind blowing as we then made our way up the intercoastal to turn into the Nassau and make our first stop along Spanish Drop. The tide still had...

I saw this old graphic and saved it...some notes below the graphic corresponding to the numbered image.... 1) Yes! two fingers in front of the base two in back of it. 2) 6-12 from the jig 6-12 from the stem of a float 3) Spin the reel to get the line just under the pointer finger - don't pull the line across the face of the reel. 4) When you grab...

Happy Thanksgiving to All - I hope you have a great holiday with friends and family! I wrapped up a short week today fishing with Allen Webb meeting him down at Sawpit Creekboat ramp. It had warmed a bit as the week progressed and there was very little wind and the first hour or so we had some dreary cloudy skies. The tide had been going out for...

Bragging Rights Busted. I had met Scott er and his son Benny up at Old Town Bait and Tackle this afternoon on a tide that had been coming in for about an hour. We made our way over to Tyger Island and fished the logs with jigs and live shrimp. Benny knocked the skunk off early with a Slot Redfish catch then Scott had a good thump and a hookup. He...
