Fish are biting on both sides of the state! - With the winds and waves not being very favorable this past week on the East Coast, Team Buck Rogers flipped the coin and went to the west coast.

Cool and Windy - Groupers and Redfish - The fishing report is short and sweet this month. Inshore the hot ticket is redfish. Offshore the best bets are gag groupers and mangrove snappers on reefs and wrecks. The best baits are fresh frozen cigar minnows, fresh frozen white squid and f more...

The Off Season Has Fish Too ! - Not many fishin' trips to report since I last wrote this column. I have about rebuilt the trailer for the beach launch cat and lots of other projects but my water time has been limited. I did go over to Indian Pass last week primarily to play shut more...

Lots of Fish, Few Anglers - I guess it's officially winter. The beaches are empty and this last front has got it cold early this morning. Not many folks around wanting to go fishing this week but that's not 'cause there's nothing to catch! I ran several trips before this fro more...
