I was out again today fishing with Steve Buckley meeting him down at Sawpit Creek boat ramp early. We've fished north the last two times we've fished together but I wanted to show Steve another side of Amelia Island. We ran up the Nassau all the way to a dock that is under repair/construction and got there before the crew showed up to get in a bi...

Another pretty day today so much so that the bugs were a bit of a problem. I had met William and Dara Blalock and their friend Brian Roach out at Goffinsville Park early - the tide was supposed to be at it's low but it was still going out so we eased down Nassauville and set up between a couple of docks to fish that last of he outgoing. I was surp...

I fished this morning with Eric Slavens meeting him up at the Old Town Bait and Tackle ramp early. We eased out of Eagans Creek and made our way over to the logs of Tyger Island to toss jigs and live shrimp on the first of an incoming tide. It wasn't long before Eric had a strong hookup and after playing the fish perfectly he landed a nice feisty...

I wrapped my week up fishing with the Dannenfelser's -David and Michele. We met up at Old Town Bait and Tackle and eased out of Eagans Creek early to make our first run over to Bell River where we set up at a point and drifted float rigs.

We had a beautiful morning today when I met the Husa family -Matt and Ruchika and their two kids Divya and Kian down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp. We made a good run up the intracoastal then up the Nassau to Seymore's Pointe where we set up and tossed float rigs to a grassy point at a large outflow. This did the trick - the family almost immedia...

I fished today again with Andy and Jennifer Aberle meeting them out at their home and riding along in their Pathfinder to try and find some fish!

We then ran...

It only took a minute before those...

I fished yesterday morning with Greg Fritzgerald. When I got up and stepped outside to get the boat ready I was hit with a gust of wind - I went back inside and double checked the weather! It was forecasted to be windy right on the bubble but it was going to be a beautiful day so I went on with the plan - meet Greg at Sawpit Creek run up to Nassa...

The weather cooperated with our plans to fish today - it was looking iffy earlier in the week but as we got closer today it appeared the winds and rain would hold off until after out trip.

I met Glenn and Patti Langford up at Old Town Bait and Tackle early and after easing out of Eagans we made our way over to Lanceford Creek to try and fish some docks but when we got there it seemed like we were a bit late for a convention of other Guides. We did fish one dock for a bit and Patti knocked the skun...

I wrapped my week up and it was a beautiful day to do it! I met Peter Brown and his Wisconsin fishing buddies Shawn and Jeff - down at Sawpit as the full moon set. We ran up the Nassau all the way to Broward Island and the water was slick as ice not a rippled. We set up at the island and tossed jigs and live shrimp on a tide that already been com...

I had the Mathe Fishing Team this morning Jerry his son Greg and grandson Henry.

I wrapped my week up fishing with Murray Bonitt and his son Dan and friend Gavin...and some dude named Darron that nobody knew. We met early down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp under cloudy skies but we had very little wind (but enough to keep the gnats away) so as we headed up the Nassau River we had high hopes of catching some fish. I haven't f...

That was some wind we had the last two days. 20mph plus winds so I was off. Carol and I walked the dog downtown and then down to the Marina and boy was it ugly out there! But those winds dropped last night and this morning greeted us with only 3mph sunny and cool temperatures in the high 40's boy what a pretty day! I met Dick Conley and his crew...

February is usually the slowest month business wise each year. It’s mainly because on average it’s the coldest month of the year and with that comes cold fronts which brings rain and wind. If we get some weather windows in February the fishing can be very good. From December through March Black Sea Bass is […] The post February Fishing Was Solid!...

Today's planned fun fishing trip turned in to a busting of the Bragging Rights!
