Hello everyone. February remained almost as cold as January. The best fishing days were the second or third day after a cold front had past through. We found the Spotted Sea Trout bite was best in the afternoon after the moon started to rise. Mike and Stacey, visiting from up north, caught several nice fish on artificial jigs near the small Islands lining the coast of Clearwater and Dunedin. Clear,…
We have been catching Redfish, Seatrout, and Sheepshead on many charters the last few weeks. Water and air temperatures have remained colder than normal for February. On the flats of Mosquito Lagoon the Redfish are in their winter schools and have gotten used to the cold water temps of upper 40s to low 50s F. We are catching Reds and Seatrout on select size shrimp, live mud minnows and finger…

Well here we are almost to the end of the month and we are starting to warm things up some. There was a few days there where it was cold. Just not right for central Florida to say the least. Just not right at all. Now with air temperatures climbing back into the 60's and hopefully reaching a prime of the upper 70's not too far out this will continue…
The weather here in central Florida has been mostly cold and unpredictable but the flats fishing has been consistently good. Redfish and black drum have been abundant with most of the fish being found in schools of 25-200 fish. They have been willing to eat a variety of well placed small soft plastics and flies. Both the reds and drum have been feeding in very shallow water and have been…
Welcome once again from the Florida keys and Islamorada. This week has been all about the Drum family. Redfish, Black Drum and Spotted Seatrout.

Fishing on Lake Okeechobee is currently very good with lots of fish being caught between fronts on the spawning flats, bass are in mid spawn. We have had our share of cold fronts so far this year.

March winds are pretty unpredictable, but…

We headed down to Blackburn Bay in Paul's brand new Andros Boatworks 26 where we found very clean water. I have been very fortunate to have fished many boats over the years and I can tell you this: Andros makes one…

I did get to sneak out a few times during the last week to wet the lines in between some rough weather. Lots of wind and rain has made it tough to find nice conditions but we did work at it and caught some decent fish. The best action came with Dolphin. Kite fishing during the weekend produced a nice 20 pounder. We were only a mile off the shore…

Finally managed to get offshore after a long bout with windy and cold conditions. The Reef Donkeys were hungry and just waiting to pounce on our Bomber Butterfly jigs.
Good day with great people. We managed to release close to fifty fish, with many in the 40 lb range.
Went trolling for Wahoo on the 21st when the downrigger bait got creamed. Screamed line off and even shook it's head. I was driving the boat when my buddy gaffed the 'hoo and when I turned around I noticed it was green not blue! Right size wrong color.
Got him on one of Fred Archer's Poor Boy lures…

There is still much speculation going around about the effects of the big freeze we experienced at the beginning of the year. While the full extent of the damage may not be known for quite some time, I can say with confidence that the populations of adult redfish and black drum are alive and well. We have been seeing hundreds of fish each trip roaming the shallow flats. From big…
