It was kind of a weird day today - overcast and breezy and the water was chopped up and muddy but itwas comfortable for the most part with the sun blocked. I had met Glenn and Patti Langford down at Sawpit Creek boat ramp and we made quick run up the Nassau to make our first stop at Spanish Drop where we went with jig rods and mud minnows tossed...

Short report today...did a double then an AIGA meeting this evening reporting late... I fished with Steve and Carron Frost this morning on a tide that was coming in. We fished the outside of Tyger with jigs with minnows and shrimp had no real luck then ran up the Jolley and fished the bank then further up to Snook Creek. Along the way we had some...

I kicked off the week with a trip out of the Old Town Bait and Tackle boat ramp after meeting Chanterelle and John Damer and their daughter Ava early this morning. We eased out of Eagans Creek then made our way up and around to the Jolley River where we made our first stop at Tyger Cut with plans to drift float rigs and live shrimp and mud minnow...

I was reading a book The Big Oyster by Mark Kurlansky - it's a very interesting story about the history of oysters and oystering and oyster houses in New York City beginning when native Americans lived there then the Dutch then the British and finally we Americans. There are many recipe's in the book and when I reached an easy one I decided to ma...

Way Way Way back before cable and before streaming there was an angler   Roscoe Vernon Gadabout Gaddis. who flew his plane around the country in the 1940's and 50's and 60's and fished. He took along a camera man and when he got back to his shop he'd voice over the film and produce the Flying Fisherman show for television. He was so popular that...

Since Red Snapper remains closed in the Atlantic Ocean we target other species that are better to eat and more fun to fight than the genuine American Red Snapper. We’ve done without the red snapper for the past 16 years so it’s not new territory for us. on our 12hr trips we have a wide […] The post JUNE 2026 – WE DON’T NEED RED SNAPPER!! appeared...

I was back to work today fishing south with John Foreman and his SIL Chase and grandson Nate. We left the Sawpit Creek boat ramp early running up the intracoastal then up the Nassau for a quick stop at Spanish Drop where we turned into the current and worked jigs and mud minnows slowly on the bottom. We weren't getting much action and when we rea...

Check presentation I don't do a lot of tournaments mainly because it takes a different mindset to be successful but as the saying goes even a blind squirrel can find an acorn once in a while! Yesterday Team AnglersMark won the biggest Redfish category in the Nassau Sport Fishing Association Rodeo! I was fishing with friends Chris Bremer and Brian...

...the Dara Flounder Show! She put three keepers in the box and had a couple of other shorts during our fishing trip today. I had her and her husband William and father Bob fishing with me today and we launched from Old Town Bait early with some gloomy skies but hardly no wind and with a tide that was still coming in we made our way over to the o...

We were back down south today fishing out of Sawpit Creek boat ramp - I met Steve Locke his son Justin and his grandsons Elliot and Landon early. We made a good run up the intracoastal up Middle River and around to Pumpkin Hill where we set up with float rigs and live shrimp and mud minnows drifting the flooded marsh grass on an incoming tide. La...

We elected to fish south this morning in hopes for some decent gamefish and the plan produced! Yesterday my anglers worked hard and caught a bunch of fish but we had a few too many junk fish for my liking. I also added 2 dozen mud minnows to the arsenal. I picked up William and Dara Blalock out at Goffinsville Park (I launched at Sawpit( and we m...

I was back to work today fishing north after meeting Sal and Ginney Dickinson up at Old Town Bait and Tackle early this morning. We had clear skies no real rain predicted and winds increasing to 12 mph as the day wore on. We made our first run over to Lanceford Creek and fished a large drainage then a slim island of grass with float rigs and live...

I knew that the Bragging Rights standings couldn't hold - we've had some big fish caught this year but none of the Categories were headed by sizes that usually win for the year so I knew that sooner or later we'd get a big one. But first we had a big one caught that I've never categorized - the big Black Drum. I think I've left it out because we...

I'm not sure if I make my point clear in the video - I don't have a prepared script. In a nutshell you'd think from all the news reports about our State of Florida's thriving economy that State could at least maintain the assets that they have much less provide decent facility for we boaters to access the water. Those access's are severely limite...

After running up Lanceford to Oyster Bay I picked up Kenny King John Raker and John's mother Betty at their dock then we made a long run back down Lanceford up the Bell and around to the Jolley to make our first stop at the MOA just as the tide started back in. We were fishing jigs and shrimp and in short order Kenny had hooked and landed two Sea...

I fished with Jim Leshinski this morning meeting him up at Old Town Bait and Tackle early and just as the tide had started in we headed out of Egans Creek and made our way up to the Jolley River to escape the crowds. After running a ways up the Jolley we made our first stop at the MOA began to pitch jigs and live shrimp to the exposed oyster bars...

After yesterday's dismal luck fishing Broward Island's downed logs we decided to go a different route and fish shell beds using jigs on the lower tides and float rigs on the higher tides and it paid off with some good action!  I met John Raker his mother Betty and their friend Kenny down at Sawpit Creek and after running up the intracoastal turn...

My computer power cord went out yesterday and I wasn't able to post the trip! I got another cord today so I'm back in business   here's a brief report from yesterday... I met Chris Sorah and his dad Ken down at Sawpit Creek on a beautiful early morning and we  made a long run up the Nassau and up to Broward Islands to catch the first of an incomi...

We were off for a couple of days enduring some serious rainfall which was much needed - I talked to a friend that said he had 5 of rain at his house! But we had clear skies today after an early morning fog - I had met Walter Mann and his fishing partner Bobby down at Sawpit Creek boat ramp. We eased up the intracoastal made a run up thru Middle...
