Inshore continues to suck but nearshore is getting hot - Hey, if you don't believe me, call Tom at the Sanibel Harbor Marina. He is the manager at the Marina. I wondered if it was just me having a tough time Inshore. Tom showed me his sheet (no charters) and related a story Capt Pat told him. Capt Pat has more...

Inshore bites but nearshore is getting hot - Charters on Sat/Sun produced jackcrap (new word) but nearshore trolling was surprisingly productive. Water temps spiked to 58 and in my wildest dreams NEVER did I think a grouper would feel like chasing a lure down in cold water temps. Allow me to more...

Fishing Charters on Saturday and Sunday - Happy New Year (and I honestly mean it)
I've just returned from visiting Our Troops at Walter Reed and Bethesda Naval Hospital over the Christmas Holidays. It was an amazing eye opening.
I have no wild fish stories like some I read on here but more...

Windy/Cold SW FL (Go the Keys if coming to Fl) - My skills as a professional guide must really suck. I can't seem to catch every species of SW FL fish when the wind blows 20-30KTS and water temperatures are in the mid 50's. Usually high winds are accompanied by small craft warnings which put charte more...

Take your Ball&Chain to the Flippin' Mall this week - My luck borders on incredible and as the kids say these days obsene. With 54 degree water temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico and 56 in Pine Island Sound, fishing sucks the big one.
The smart man uses these times as leverage for future fishing t more...

It is freezing here/Charters cancelled - As Charlie Harper says on Two and Half Men I've got nothing.
Before the cold weather fishing was on fire. I do have a charter this Friday and Sunday. Hopefully the results will warm you between your legs on my next report. GiddyUp!

On Fire before T-G Holiday - Prior to leaving for the TG Holidays, Grouper/King Macks, and Cobia could be found in considerable numbers within 5 miles of shore. (By the way, if you are looking for a Guide who goes 15-20 Miles offshore to catch these species, don't call me. My ou more...

incoming weather and wind will change things - It is 0600 on Wednesday. If I were young, inexperience, and had little regard for the fury of the Gulf of Mexico perhaps running my scheduled charter this AM would make sense. If you fish with me, my common sense says to error on the safe/conservativ more...

Grouper busting Big Lip Lures continued - WE NEVER WENT INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO and scored limits of Gag Grouper. Pine Island Sound/ICW/San Carlos Bay. When I told my customers we would limit out (probably in 2 Hours) they truly thought I was (a) crazy or (b) intoxicated (I have never been l more...

High Winds but Big Fish - Sunday (today) was on fire. My charter customers were hurling one minute and catching +26 Grouper the next moment. Wind direction is so important. The worst direction is onshore. The best is offshore. Today was offshore but the fish were beyond 30FT more...
