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...

My wife and I found these two vintage Glasbake dishes in an antique booth at our recent Shrimp Festival and I've been thinking about some sort of bake to go in them ever since! I found this pretty easy recipe on the internet... Blend of the Bayou —Ruby Williams Bogalusa Louisiana   TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min.  Bake: 25 min. YIELD: 8 servings....

It's almost shorts weather - the high today was around 85 and I could tell it in my jeans. I had met Pete Nolan and his fishing buddy Jeff down at Sawpit Creek boat ramp early but we had to putter up the intracoastal due to the fog being so thick. But as we got further up the Nassau River we were able to crank it up and get to our first stop arou...

I wrapped my week up fishing with Mark Caldwell and his fishing buddies John and Don when I met them up at Old Town Bait and Tackle early this morning. We eased out of Eagans Creek and made a run over to Lanceford to fish some dock pilings on the last of an outgoing tide. The three anglers were pitching jigs and live shrimp to the pilings and ge...

We gotta work for 'em is what I've been telling my guests when they step on the boat -we're catching some fish but they definitely aren't jumping in the boat! I met Gregg and Dannie Fitzgerald up at Old Town Bait and Tackle early this morning and after easing out of Eagans Creek we made a short run over to the Tyger logs to fish the first of an...

I was fishing out of Sawpit Creek again this morning this time meeting Hank Prolog and his fishing buddies Harry and Fred. We left the dock early and made our way up the Nassau River and made our first stop at Spanish Drop on a tide that was almost hitting bottom - the trio of anglers were pitching jigs and live shrimp to the exposed shell bank...

Looks like we've got Chamber of Commerce weather this week -clear cool and sunny with only a slight breeze in the mornings. Today I met Alex and Laura Winter down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp (Goffinsville Park is closed) and we ran up the Nassau River to Seymore's Point with a plan to fish some dock pilings on the first of an incoming tide. It...
