Apalachee Bay Lots of floating grass has made topwater fishing difficult this past week. The stormy conditions have also silted up the water. As a result, lures that attract or flash will get the nod. Aqua Dream spoons in chartreuse or silver will be a good choice for redfish, while DOA shrimp in glow...
I met visiting Maryland anglers Buddy Dunagan and Pete Huntzberry at the Lanark Village Boat Club Saturday with fingers crossed. For a change, NOAA was right with the forecast. The wind was howling from the south/southeast at an average of 20 knots or better and St. George Sound was a washboard of whitecaps...
On Friday, Ted Jarel and his colleague from work, Pat Obrien, joined me for a beautiful day fishing the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. After slowly idling partway down the river in dense fog we finally broke into sunshine and slick water. Throttled down and headed east to set up a drift over the...
Took Good Friday off to shake down Fin-esse and scout for some upcoming charters. Ran east from the lighthouse and set up a drift over sand/shell and scattered grass. I was working a DOA carbonated shrimp (gold/glow) when I got pounded. The first flattie of the year, a 16-inch flounder, hit the deck...
The past two weeks has been great in the Mosquito Lagoon . The water levels are high and mullet and white bailt can be found everywhere. There has been some great catches including many firsts and biggest when it comes to redfish . I have been seeing them good numbers schooled up in the middle region...
Summer time is here and in full swing. Temps are getting well into the nineties and the mullet schools are scattered across the Indian River and Mosquito Lagoon. This means that we will be seeing an influx of summer species topped off by the much sought after Silver King. Small tarpon are already being...

Dry days… will they ever end? The water levels are still very low on Florida’s east coast lagoon systems. Even though, fishing has been great as of late. It maybe caused by the lack of water bottling up the fish in deeper pockets or the diminishing of a large percentage of feeding grounds...
Redfish, redfish, redfish....it seems they are all over the south shore of Tampa Bay. I have been working the last hour of the outgoing and the first 2 hours of the incoming. The reds are holding just off the first bar of the outside flats and moving in towards the mangroves as the water comes up. Areas...
It's every angler's dream to one day feel that line go tight with a World Record fish on the other end. Chances are we'll never experience such a moment, but it's always fun to dream. And it's always nice to see a book for dreamers like BIG: The 50 Greatest World Record Catches ....
