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!

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...

I fished early this morning meeting Patrick Tighe and his daughters up at Old Town Bait and Tackle at sunrise and after easing out of Eagans Creek we made our way up and around to the Jolley River. We set up tossing float rigs and live shrimp and within seconds the girls were catching fish -Seatrout and Redfish and Seatrout and Seatrout and Redfi...

Boy what a beautiful day we had - sunny skies cool temps and only a slight breeze. I had met Will Middleton and his father-in-law Pete Brown down at Sawpit Creek and we headed up the intercoastal then up the Nassau to make our first stop at Spanish Drop. The tide had been going out for a couple of hours and the shell was showing as we eased along...

Boy what a temperature drop we had!  And with it came some strong winds - the forecast for this morning was 13mph at 7am but quickly rising to 17mph by 9am. But it was clear and sunny and the wind was out of the WNW and we had a plan!  I met Alex and Laura out at Goffinsville Park and as we left the dock we could see it was calm all along Nassauv...

After debating whether to even fish today and meeting under some dreary skies up at Old Town Bait and Tackle this morning and easing down Eagans Creek with a fine mist on our faces David and Michele Dannenfelser proceeded to have a pretty good day of fishing! We made our way over to the back side of Tyger and fished the logs - the first area prod...

Boy what a pretty day we had today - no real wind temperature in the high 60's and partly cloudy skies to greet us when I met Tim Parker and is son Wes out at Goffinsville Park boat ramp early.  And it was just a short run down the river to Broward Island where we set up to fish with jigs and live shrimp on  atide that was low and just coming in...

I THGUGHT I was launching at Sawpit Creek this morning - when I got down there the tide was up so far - all the way to the bend in the curb- I turned around and headed back north to meet Glenn and Patti Langford up at Old Town Bait and  Tackle. The water was way up in the grass when we made way out of Eagans Creek and over to the outside of Tyge...

It was Chamber of Commerce weather today - clear just a slight breeze to keep the bugs off and just a bit cool as we ran down the river. I had met Ed Andrewlavage and his fishing buddy Chris down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp and from there we made our way up the intercoastal and over to Poteat Cut to set up with float rigs and live shrimp on a t...

I stepped out this morning and it was drizzling rain and the flag was flapping in the wind and I was thinking we may be in for a blustery day. But after launching down at Sawpit Creek and meeting Ed AndrewLavage and his wife Madonna the rain ended and the wind never increased. We made a long run up the Nassau and down to Broward Island and set up...

I fished Friday running up to the annual Florida/Georgia football game - great weather for a great weekend!  I had met Brian Roach and his fishing buddy Jason down at Sawpit Creek. All week I had noted that the fish catching was really slow (non-existent) on the last of the incoming tide which was what we had this day so my plan was to run north...

Talking to Bob at the bait shop (Old Town Bait and Tackle) and comparing reports we both agreed that there were a bunch of short Seatrout to be caught in the creeks and rivers. Then I met William and Dara Blalock early and we headed up and over to the Jolley River turned into the bank and began tossing float rigs and live shrimp. The wind was so...

The difference in the weather from yesterday to today was like night and day! Beautiful - clear skies sunshine pleasant temperatures and just a bit of wind to keep things interesting.  I had met John Raker and his fishing partner Robert out at Goffinsville Park at 8:30 to give the tide a chance to turn around. We made our first run around to Seymo...

It stayed dreary all day today - overcast a bit windy and somewhat cool. I had met William Blalock out at Goffinsville Park early and with it dark enough still to have the NAV lights on we eased up river to fish Pumpkin Hill on a high and still incoming tide. I had hoped that we'd pick up some Seatrout - sometimes we do- but we had nary a bite a...

On occasion I get a group of more than 4 who want to go fishing and one option is to do a split trip -we go out with the first group and fish for 3 hours then come back to the dock unload and reload with the 2nd group and that's what we did today with the Matheney group. I met Greg and his two sons Rip and Warren down at Sawpit Creek on a tide tha...
