Fresh Water Dumping From Lake O Make Things Tough - I only had one trip to report on this week. I fished Friday with Jim Dougall, an old friend of many years, now.

Black, Fresh Water and Poor Tides Make for Tough Fishing - I was back on the water twice this week, but it wasn't easy. The water is coffee black with tannin stain from all the rain associated with two tropical systems, and eleven days of fresh water dumping from Lake O. And, as if that's not enough, they' more...

After a Week Blown Out by Fay, a Pretty Good Week of Fishing! - My full week last week was blown out by hurricane Fay, except for a trip with David Hewitt and his brother Doug, of Pittsburgh, that we were able to move to Sunday. But, things were anything but back to normal on Sunday.

A Lesson In How Tides Effect Fishing - After having a benign growth removed from my back a couple of weeks ago, I finally got back to work last Sunday. The rest of this month is quite busy with trips, which is unusual for August. But, as I sit here beginning this report, I wonder what more...

Great redfishing on cut ballyhoo! - I had just one trip for the week, but it was a great one, with some really good redfishing.
The trip was on Friday, with David Wallsmith, and his friend, Bill Shaw, of Knox, Indiana. David is the father of my old friends Todd and Lynn Wallsmith, more...

Big Redfish Were The Order of The Day! - Just one trip to report on this week. Oddly enough August is stacking up to be a busy month, and it's usually the slowest of the year even when times are good.
My trip was on Friday, with an old friend Ed Mahoney, of Boca Raton, Florida. I've kn more...

Bait Is Still the Big Issue; It's Tiny and Everywhere! - I did manage a couple of trips this week, although they weren't the ones originally scheduled.
