What a great day! After meeting Roger and Tina Pickett down at Sawpit Creek boat ramp early this morning we headed up the intracoastal with dolphins rolling off to our port. Our first stop was up at Poteat Point and first cast produced a fish - Tina was on the rod to knock the skunk off when she expertly battled a big Jack Crevalle to the net. B...

...a combined report from Friday May 1st and today May 5th with the 60th Annual Shrimp Fest squeezed in between! Friday I fished with Chris Pyle and his friends Byron and Nick meeting them down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp.

We had the prettiest day all week - sunshine with a just a cloud now and then not too hot not too cool and just a faint amount of breeze to keep the bugs off. After meeting Rich Voelbel and his fishing partner Steve down at Sawpit Creek boat ramp we made our way up the Nassau and ran all the way up to Broward Island to fish the first of an incomi...

We had a beautiful day this morning but when I stepped out to get the boat ready the flags on the front of the house were blowing and I said uh-oh. When I came back in to have a little breakfast I checked the weather again - sunshine with wind holding steady at 12mph.  That's really not bad but just enough to be aggravating to casters who would b...

I finished up a great week of fishing yesterday fishing with an all-guys group from Chicago - Wes Metheney   his son Jack and friends PJ and Emmitt. We met down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp early  and run up the Nassau to make our first stop at a large drainage at Seymore's Pointe. They were getting good drifts with their float rigs on the first...

About when I think I've got fishing figured out I get surprised. This morning after meeting Henry Ross his sister Laura and her husband Dennis down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp we ran up the intracoastal up the Nassau and set up on a large outflow to toss float rigs and live shrimp on the first of an outgoing tide. I would have bet a dollar that...

The last couple of days there has been a trend of catching fish early on that first of a high and outgoing tide and that trend held today. I had met Wes Metheney and his son Jack down at Sawpit Creek boat ramp early this morning - the gnats wanted to carry me off as I waited for them to arrive but as we ran up the intracoastal I saw that we now h...

I went back south today to fish with Glenn and Patti Lanford. We met down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp and quickly got under way  - the No SeeUms were about to carry us off! But luckily as we ran up the river the breeze picked up and they were never an issue for the rest of the morning. The tide had been going out for about two hours as we eased...

Menagerie: A collection of wild animals kept in captivity. Yes they were wild animals (fish) but they weren't in captivity - we caught them wild. Maybe a Conglomeration? Conglomeration:   a number of different things parts or items that are grouped together; collection. There were a bunch of different things (fish)   but they were alive and well....

These guys need their own U-tube Channel-they'd go viral. I met David Vice and his two friends in from California - Dave and John - out at Goffinsville Park boat ramp as the sun was coming up. We had very little breeze and clear skies as we made our way down the Nassau River to set up fishing at Spanish Drop on the last hour of an outgoing tide. A...

We had a beautiful morning today when I met Jeff and Jinny Key down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp. Clear sunny skies and just enough breeze to keep the bugs off! We made our way over to the intracoastal then up the Nassau River to fish our first spot between some docks at Nassauville. I think we were about an hour late - the tide was at a standst...

What a beautiful morning it was when I met Doug Mackle and his granddaughter Montana up at the Old Town Bait and Tackle boat ramp. Clear skies just a slight bit cool and the sun coming up over the State Park. We eased out of Eagans Creek and as we did so Montana spotted to doe deer swimming across the creek heading from the Pogey Plant over to Ol...

We had a beautiful sunrise today when I met Steve Locke and his son Justin out at Goffinsville Park this morning. I mentioned to Steve that we were getting some nice Trout and a few small Slot Redfish but we hadn't been getting nay BIG ones. Right. We made a quick run down the river and around to Seymore's Pointe where I thought we'd get some Se...

Boy what a front that was that came thru last night as the Mighty Gators brought home their 3rd NCAA Basketball Championship! We had thunder lighting and a steady downpour for....at least 10 minutes but it caused the temperature to drop a good 20 degrees from the previous day. I met David Barrow and his two sons Cole and Knox up at Old Town Bait...

I wrapped my week up fishing with Todd Johnson and his friend Todd Raleigh when I met them up at the Old Town Bait and Tackle boat ramp early.

I picked up the Stettner crew this morning over at Oyster Bay -Robert and his friends Mark and Kirk.

They put a couple of keeper sized Black puppy Drum in the boat a couple o...

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...
