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! Needing some fish for my Amelia Island Life Long Learning class's fish fry I planned to fish this morning with my wife Carol and our neighbor and friend Wade Kirkland. We got an early start picking up bait at Amelia Island Bait and Tackle then making our way out to Go...

We've made this three times during this past winter and taken to a party once and it received acclaim! Not much to the recipe just some good old comfort food on a cold winter's day! Sorry no seafood in it... Ingredients: 1   lb dried Black Eye Peas                                                                                          2    32oz...

I last fished with Dennis Fritz his wife Adele and their visiting friends Jon and Jessica meeting themdown at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp. We were supposed to go early but when the alarm went off and I got up it was pouring rain! Luckily this group was able to go later so we postponed the trip until 11am. After the safety orientation we eased just...

It was forecasted to be a nasty day and it didn't disappoint!  Overcast skies sprinkling rain on occasion and cooler temperatures greeted us at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp when I met Mark Averbuch and his fishing buddies Gerry Mathe and Paul Clark.  The good news was that the wind wasn't blowing so we made our way up the Nassau to make our first st...

we'd of ate pretty good! I met Glenn and Patti Lanford mid morning today with plans to fish the last of an outgoing tide first of an incoming. We ran up the intra-coastal up the Nassau and made our way to a large runout where we pitched jigs and live shrimp. I wouldn't call it on fire but we caught a good handful of hungry Seatrout - they all ran...

Long John weather!  Low mid 30's with wind forecasted to be 14-16 mph (they were right!)  I met Gene Burk and is nephew Aiden down at Sawpit this morning with those conditions but we did have sunny skies all day so we made the most of it. Our first stop was around at the bridge where we drifted slip float (trout) rigs deep back to the bridge pilin...

What a cold windy and dreary day it was that greeted us when David Vice and his fishing Team Gary and Allen met me out at Goffinsville Park this morning.  For me it was a toss up whether to try and fish today with winds forecasted to get up to 16mph. But I had a Plan! So we met and made a long run up and thru Horsehead into the intra-coastal and...

Oh what a pretty day we had today! It was kinda cool but only a two layer day and the sun was out with no real wind- the water early was like glass. I had met Henry Ross and his son-in-law Devon down at Sawpit Creek boat ramp and we made our way  up the intracoastal and then up the Nassau River to fish a dock at Seymore's Point on the very first...

Fishing the day after Valentines you hope that the catching will make for a sweetheart kind of day and today turned out to be pretty good!  I had met William and Dara Blalock out at Goffinsivlle Park early and as I was launching I was treated to a really cool sunrise. The tide had been coming in for about an hour so we made our way up river to g...

For a awhile there we were thinking we might just be on a fishing trip not a catching trip! I had met Ed and Maddona AndrewLavage up at Old Town Bait and Tackle early this morning. We had dark and gloomy skies with the clouds blowing north over the ocean. But the temperature was almost shirtsleeves weather with a promise from the forecasters of it...

I was back fishing today when I met Nick Burke and his fishing partner Sajia down at the Sawpit Creek boat ramp early. There was a bit of fog but it didn't affect the visibility so much that we couldn't make the run up the intercoastal and turn into the Nassau. We then made our way up to Seymore's Pointe to set up at a large drainage on the very...

We had a better tide today and warmer water temperatures and it made all the difference in the fish catching action. I had met Dennis Fritz and his fishing partner Jim down at Sawpit Creek boat ramp early and we ran up the Nassau River (which was like glass) to make our first stop at some docks with plans to fish the pilings on the first of an i...

I wrapped up a long difficult week today fishing with the Hutchens brothers - that cold water has been tough on the fish catching totals. These guys Tom and Bob were good anglers and we fished some spots that looked absolutely beautiful - sunny skies no wind to speak of great casts outstanding drifts but there for a while it was looking like we w...

We had a beautiful day today with sunny skies just a light breeze and temperatures rising when I met Zach Peyton and his son Tyler and their friend RC up at the Old Town Bait and Tackle boat ramp. We eased out of Eagans Creek and made a short run over to the outside of Tyger Island where we set up with float rigs baited with live shrimp. We were...

I could try and sprinkle sugar on it but the honest truth is the fish catching has been going down hill the last week since that severe cold. I talked to two anglers had the boat ramp and who confirmed it with their recent fishing trips - the fish just aren't biting. When I picked up some jigs from Redfish Carl this afternoon he said he had ran u...

Those low 40's water temperatures are coming up a bit today we had it at 47 degrees. I had met Pat Andreasen his son-in-law Bryan and grandson Mason down at Sawpit Creek early this morning and we made our way up the Nassau River on the first of an outgoing tide with clear and soon to be sunny skies. That cold water we've had has stunted the fish...

I fished this morning with John Pellerin and his buddy visiting from Montana another John. Although the sun was out when we met at 8:30 it stilled seemed awful cold but that didn't last past the first run. We ran way up the Nassau and dipped into a creek and worked the bank on a tide that had been going out for about three hours. It was slow goi...

Although it was a tad cold - about 34 degrees when I launched the forecast called for winds at 10mph and sunny skies and the Weatherman nailed it. I had met Mark Averbuch and his fishing buddy Bill down at Sawpit Creek - we were all bundled for that first run and  when we pulled up to some docks at Nassauville we were out of the wind exposed to...

I fished Friday to wrap the week up - it was a bit cool when I met Willam and Dara Blalock out at Goffinsville Park. We made a good run down the Nassau and thru Horsehead and over to Poteat Point to make our first stop and I'm glad I had my heavier North Face on!  The tide was still up so we went with float rigs and worked the grass. Not much was...

..but the Trout did come thru for us this morning. I had met Sam Brown his father Dennis and Sam's girlfriend Tany up at Old Town Bait and Tackle early this morning with a tide that was high and still coming in. It was a beautiful morning as we eased out of Eagans Creek then made our way up and around to the Jolley River where we eased into the b...

These will be short - it's getting late and I've got a trip early tomorrow... I fished with Cal early today meeting him out at Goffinsville Park boat ramp for a fishing trip and then a tour of the area - he's a new property owner and wanted to check the river out. We hit Twin Creeks down the Nassau and drifted floats with the current - Cal caught...

We kicked off the week (and month) with a trip out of Goffinsville Park this morning when I met brothers Gordon and George Piasecki early. Gordon had brought along a couple of crab traps to try out at each spot we fished and it worked out pretty good. We made a quick run over to Pumkin Hill on a high tide that still had about 30 minutes of comin...

We waited for the tide to turn before we started today - I met David Bolton and his grandson Michael over at their dock on Lanceford Creek at 9am - the tide had just turned and started out. It was a beautiful morning with sunshine clear skies and just a slight breeze. We didn't go far - we came around to Soap Creek and fished a large drainage wit...
