I wrapped my week up fishing with Cindy Gray and her grandsons Alex and Henry. We met up at the Old Town Bait and Tackle boat ramp early and after easing out of Eagans Creek we made our way up and around to the Jolley River turned into the bank and began to fish back with float rigs and mud minnows on a tide that had been coming in for a few hour...

I was back down at Sawpit Creek this morning meeting Dean Jensen and his sons Eli and Tyler early. We headed up the intracoastal then up the Nassau to make our first stop at the Spanish Drop area. The tide had been coming in a few hours so we went with float rigs and live shrimp and mud minnows. The shrimp were getting nibbles as expected but it...

Yesterday we had a pretty good day of catching Flounder up north. The day before yesterday we fished south down around Nassauville and even though we caught fish there wasn't much to brag about. I think we had two or three Redfish with the biggest being about 12 inches! And even though we caught Flounder north yesterday I just thought that going...

We went north today when I met Garland Clark and his son Chris up at Old Town Bait and Tackle boat ramp early. After easing out of Eagans Creek we made the short run over to Bell River and fished a flooded oyster point with float rigs and mud minnows on the very last of an incoming tide. The duo had a couple of nibbles but no takers. We ran thru...

My wife advised me last night that we wouldn't be catching many fish today in that two of her friends had called in sick with symptoms of high barometric pressure - one with a migraine and one with vertigo. Unfortunately she was close to being right - we struggled a bit to catch fish today. I had met David Vice and his fishing partners Lee and R...

I remember the one time I went fishing with my grandfather Lawence M. Piper. He and my grandmother had purchased a lake place on Lake Sante Fe down just east of Gainesville Florida. He was a Jacksonville policeman she at one time owned and operated Avondale Florist  and they lived just off of Cassat Avenue in Jacksonville Florida. But they were a...

It's always a surprise when we put a Snook in the boat and today we did just that!  I had met Brad Goodwin and his son Gray his father-in-law Jack and brother-in-law Tyler down at Sawpit Creek boat ramp and we made a short run up the intracoastal then up the Nassau to make our first stop at Spanish Drop where they began to toss jigs and minnows t...

I was back launching at Old Town Bait and Tackle this morning where I met Nigel and Erin Morton who had their two sons Ronan and Vance with them. We eased out of Eagans Creek and then made a long run up and around to the Jolley River then all the way up it to the MOA on a tide that had just hit bottom. I have been fishing with mud minnows the las...

Brook Benge brought along two of his fishing buddies - Tommy and Roger when I met them out at the Amelia Island Marina early this morning. We eased down the canal and made a short trip over to some structure to try our luck with some jigs and mud minnows on the first of an incoming tide. The conditions were good it wasn't on fire but Tommy did k...

I wrapped my week up (kinda slow week but next week is slam full) fishing with Steve Locke who brought along his fishing buddy Tony. We met out at Goffinsville early and with a tide that had just hit bottom we made a short run down to Broward Island and fished deep with jigs and mud minnows. Steve put the first fish in the boat when he hooked up...

We were back at it today fishing with Tom Gaslin and his buddy Steve. I met them early out at Goffinsville Park on a tide that still had about 30 minutes of coming in so we headed over to Pumkin Hill to kill some time and drift float rigs baited with mud minnows along the shell bank. That first stretch didn't produce a bite but after we eased up...

I went with straight mud minnows for the second day in a row when I met Ray Pinkston and his son Jack out at Goffinsville Park early this morning. And we had a plan: fish those minnows at the drainages along the Nassau River. We stuck to it for the most part and it paid off with some solid action. We deviated just a bit at the first spot across...

We went early today to beat the heat and it worked out pretty good. I had met Allen and Lavern Webb up at Old Town Bait and Tackle - they open at 6:00am - I was about 3rd in line- and as I was leaving there was a line out the door! Allen and Lavern and I pulled away from the dock at 6:30 and eased out of Eagans Creek and made a quick run up and a...

I fished this morning with Jason Wells and his two younger kids Allison and Joah meeting them out at Goffinsville Park boat ramp early. We made a short trip down and back up to the mouth of Back River to fish a stretch of oysters on a tide that had been going out for a few hours - the oysters were well exposed. I don't normally fish that stretch...

I was back to work today fishing with Brian Roach and his son Mike after meeting them down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp early. We made a short run up the Nassau River to Spanish Drop and began fishing a large outflow on a tide that still had a few hours to hit bottom. But the oysters we exposed and these two anglers began pitching to the edges w...

This morning I launched at Old Town Bait and Tackle and after a Bait Shop sausage and egg sandwich made the run over to Oyster Bay to pick up David Vice Robert Stettner and their fishing buddy Greg.

I've got a short week with prepping for the AIGA Inshore Classic - Captain's Meeting tomorrow 6pm at Old Town Bait and Tackle.

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...

There was no real rain forecasted for today but it misted the entire morning. The horizon stayed foggy and it was a bit cool which made for a dreary day to be out on the water. BUT the fishing was great! I had met Ray Pinkston and his fishing buddies Jim and Tommy down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp early and we then made a short run up the Nassa...
