Bob Blalock and I decided to squeeze in an afternoon trip knowing that winds would probably be an issue. We met up at Old Town Bait and Tackle ramp and after easing out of Eagans Creek we made the long run up the Bell to fish some docks with jigs and live shrimp.  Bob worked that first spot over really good  but we didn't have a bite. But after m...

I fished this morning with Leah and Brian Newsom and their grandson Caleb meeting them up at the Old Town Bait and Tackle boat ramp. We put out 3 crabs traps on the way to the first stop over at Tyger Island but when we got there we began fishing jigs and live shrimp on an incoming  tide. We didn't have a whole lot of action but we did snag a ni...

On Saturday April 6th we had an 8hr split trip. Capt. Chad had the helm and the crew was in our 37ft Cape Horn. The forecast was calling for beautiful and slick but it was all a big lie. The wind was blowing and the ocean was pretty rough swells were fairly tight and it […] The post Early Spring Pelagics – Mahi and Blackfin appeared first on Team...

We had a beautiful morning today when I met Chris Pyle and his fishing buddy John down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp and after running up the Nassau we pulled up at Pumpkin Hill Creek to try our hand with some float rigs and live shrimp drifted down the bank with a high and incoming tide. It didn't work - I don't think we had a nibble. We then f...

I wrapped my week up fishing south meeting the Williams family - John and Mary Margaret and their kids Hadden and Ruth down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp. It was a bit cool as we ran up the Nassau and I made beeline for a large drainage knowing the tide had just started out. Sure enough were were on fish almost from the start. These anglers were t...

After I got the boat ready and was having a cup of coffee I saw AIBT's Facebook post that they were out of live shrimp and minnows and I knew we'd be a bit handicapped from the start. But I luckily I had some fresh frozen shrimp in the freeze which I grabbed and I loaded up with a quart of fiddler crabs at the bait shop and then met Doug Massey hi...

The last thing I expected when walked in to the bait store this afternoon was for them to be (temporarily) out of live Shrimp AND Mud minnows. Oh lordy!  But they did have some fiddler crabs so I purchased a pint and a few packages of artificial baits and headed out to Goffinsville Park thinking we may be in for a long afternoon of fishing. I met...

Back at it today fishing south early this morning. I had met William and Dara Blalock out at Goffinsville as the sun came up and we made a quick run down the river to fish between two docks on a tide that still had a few hours to hit bottom. The two anglers were tossing jigs and live shrimp and makjng excellent casts and it paid off.  Dara kicked...

I saw this recipe pop up on Facebook and thought it looked like some real comfort food!  It was at a really cool site boudreauxsrbackyard.com   I cooked it it was outstanding! Butter Beans and Shrimp Ingredients: 2   tbsp oil 2   tbsp flour 1    lb large lima beans cleaned and soaked (I used frozen follow directions) 2    lb shrimp peeled and deve...

I wrapped my week up fishing with the Conforti guys today meeting them up at the Old Town Bait and Tackle boat ramp early. The weather had cleared from yesterday and it was a bit cooler but winds were expected to pick up as the day went on. We made our first stop over at Tyger Island fishing the logs with jigs and live shrimp but the first area p...

I was wondering who was crazier me or my guests for wanting to fish this morning especially when I stepped out of the house and it was pouring rain. I got the boat ready to go came in for some coffee and as I headed to the bait shop it was still raining and they were surprised to see me or anyone else heading out to fish. But the forecast called...

I fished this morning with Glenn and Patti Langford knowing we might get wet. We met down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp and  headed up the Nassau all the way to Broward to fish the first of an incoming tide with jigs and live shrimp. The first spot we stopped at didn't produce anything but nibbles but as we moved down the way we began to get bite...

Boy what a wind we had yesterday! I had to cancel the trip with winds 17-20mph plus but we thought we could get one in today. I met Derek Poon with his two sons Zach and Tylge down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp early and the wind had died down to a comfortable 8mph so we made the run up the Nassau and around to Broward to try and catch the incomin...

We lucked out with the weather this morning - the forecast had changed by the time we got on the water and for the most part we had clear skies and low winds. We did have two rainbows that graced us with their presence! I had met Pete Nolan hand his high school fishing buddies Sam and Steve down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp and we ran up the in...

Another beautiful day today when I met Don Walters and his fishing buddies Alex and Tim down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp. We made the run up the Nassau and found a spot at the outside of a large drainage and began to toss float rigs and live shrimp and we stayed pretty busy catching hungry Seatrout.  Most of them were just undersized but Alex d...

Oh boy what a beautiful chamber of commerce type day we had today. Although the temperature was hovering around 48 degrees when we launched it quickly warmed as that sun came up with clear cloudless skies. We met down at Sawpit Creek and then ran up the Nassau to set up at a large drainage north of Seymore's Pointe and within minutes the duo were...

I did  an afternoon trip today meeting Nate Aron his father Aaron and his father-in-law Gil Langley up at Eagans Creek. The wind had died a little bit since this morning and as we eased out of the creek we had clear skies and sunshine!  We made our way over to behind Tyger and fished the logs with jigs and live shrimp on the first of an incoming...

When I stepped out side this morning in the dark to get the boat ready I was a bit surprised by the wind still kicking. I knew the forecast called for high winds overnight but I thought they were supposed to be done with by daylight. I went back in  and checked the weather and it was about right -14mph at the time dropping to 12 as the morning pr...

We had what I thought was a good tide today - last of an outgoing then first of an incoming. I had met Kristen Benton and her friend Quinton out at Goffinsville Park early - the skies were just a bit overcast and there was very little breeze and we made our way around to Seymore's Pointe to set up current from some dock pilings and toss jigs and...

I fished this afternoon with Eric Stevens meeting him up at the Old Town Bait and Tackle boat ramp. We had a high and still coming in tide as we eased out of Eagans Creek and I wasn't feeling very confident in our prospects. We ran over to Lanceford Creek and fished between a couple of docks with float rigs and did pick up one Seatrout which got...

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...

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...
