The sheepshead bite sure is good right now and Bob and Sandy had a great day to experience it. I met the couple at Pete's Pier Marina and it was smooth sailing all the way to 20ft of water. We anchored on the first spot and did well. Some hefty

Had the pleasure of being hired today show a father and son team how to bottom fish the east side today. We had a solid day fishing and a great time. From black bass to slot drum we went catching. No cobia or gags boated but we caught about everythin

Alright let’s see here we had some “fun” with the weather on this one! Gotta love the weather man!! Throughout the trip we had around 20kts of winds but with summer comes the summer squalls and one of these bad boys gave us some cra

A couple days off for routine maintenance and wear and tear repairs; but back at it today. I had originally cancelled today and it was not a pretty day out there for sure; but I put on the Simms rain gear and my buddy Pat was ready to give it a try.

You can have some success catching grouper in my region by trolling lipped plugs in some of the deeper channels and holes around Tampa Bay as well as along some of the nearshore hard bottom areas but the majority of anglers who target these fish cha

     The fishing is still hot.  The Spanish Mackerel are still very thick in the 20 to 30 foot deep areas off the beaches and around the reefs.  Your best bet is early morning; watch for the birds feeding and the mackerels ju

We got out just before the cold front came today with the Keeler family and they did great. We stayed roughly in the 10ft range and found some quality gags on pin fish. Quite a few shorts kept us busy too. Four nice ones came home and I thank you bo

A really good red fish bite for us this morning but the grouper in the afternoon were being finicky for us today. I had the pleasure of having Bill and Sheena on board and right out of the gate we got on the red fish. We jumped point to point free l

I'm not a weather man but I believe it's going to be a chilly winter. Today was a cold one for sure but Tom and Herbert bundled up and we went for a ride. I began the day with the father and son team and we caught a couple river snook to get

It sure was good to be back offshore and thank you all for hanging in there with the lack of reports. The last two weeks weather wise has been terrible for the grouper season and the inshore has been fair with the cold water. I did fish the Homosass

A one man band with the one and only Tony Sans and he and I sure had a day. We started off before todays approaching front grabbing some grouper and did so just in the Knick of time; before the seas got rough. Our first spot thankfully produced our

After almost four days of being blown off the water from another aggressive cold front I was able to get back to work today. Mishel and Earl were on board for the day and the couple were ready for some catch and release grouper action. I haven't

It was day two with the West family and Tom and his dad Herbert had a ball. The weather was much more favorable today and we were able to spend more time tackling some grouper. However I took a minute and a quick stop in the river to catch a couple

The grouper were on the feed this morning on the outgoing tide and today's team did great. Bobby and Fred were my guests today and trolling gags was the name of the game. It seems the grass is bad one day and very fish-able the next. Well today

What a day to go offshore. I was at the Homosassa Fishing Club fishing the Smith party with fellow Homosassa Guide Association Captains Mark Zorn Rick Spratt Johnathan Hamilton Jody Johnson and Mike Baize. I had Matt Robinson and Tom on board for th

It was another spring like day on the big pond and Carl Dan Jessica and Mike hit it out of the park. I met the gang at Pete's Pier at 9am and we ran to some of my favorite sheepshead ledges I haven't yet been to this year and it was on. The

We hit the big three on today's Crystal River charters with Buck Norm and Larry on board. The day began free lining live shrimp around the rocky points and finding a couple red fish. The tide was dropping fast so I didn't have to much time;

Without a doubt the best trolling bite of the year so far and the Barlow team had a beautiful limit of hefty Crystal River gags by 11am. What can I say some days are more special than others and the grouper action for us today was fantastic. I exclu

The cobia were sure happy today but it sure took a while for the grouper to turn on. Today's Crystal River charter I had Mike and Kathy on board for some grouper digging. The team and I fished some of the shallow ledges towards the North today a

A fine winter day out of Crystal River with some great guys. Larry Henry and John were on board and we did a little inside and out fishing. We started the day using DOA glow jerk baits around some kelp grass patches in 3ft of water and on a couple d
