We had plans to fish for Bull reds most of the day and hope to be able to pull some upper slots out of the larger schools. Our plan looked pretty good when we rounded Ft. Pickens in to the Pass at around 0615 Saturday morning. The Pass and Gulf were both alive with thousands of Redfish destroying the surface of the water. The first school we pulled up to was obviously over size but Dawna wanted to tangle with a few… So that’s what we did, she hooked and landed 4 or 5 very large fish fairly quickly. With her using her new Sustain 3000 loaded with 10lb Power Pro it was a blast chasing the fish down and watching her do battle on the light tackle!
After an hour or two of the Giant fish we moved over to the Pass to begin jigging for the slot fish we needed, Dana made her first drop and quickly hooked a nice fish. 25.5″ and a little over 5lbs. We were now on the board. The rest of the day was a long day of catching and releasing Bull Red after Bull red and a ton of nice Red Snapper all on artificials.
With an hour left in the day I luckily hooked a good fish that went 26″ and just a hair under 7lbs! That was all we needed, we cracked our celebration beers and blasted off towards Flounders for the weigh in. Once the smoke had settled and the weights had been tallied, we finished in 3rd place with 11.69 lbs!
Another great day spent on the water with my Girl doing what we love to do……………. Catching Fish
…………………………. See you out there
Both days started with a nice run from Galvez landing to my favorite Flounder hole. The Flounder bite was not what I had hoped it would be, but it was good enough to boat several keeper fish. The Red Snapper have taking over the North Rocks and the Pass so we spent the majority of our morning releasing them. Both morning we moved over the Pass at around 0900 to catch the newly incoming tide.. Redfish were caught on nearly every drop, we caught fish ranging from Middle to Upper slot fish all the way up to a few 20lb bruisers!
Bait did not seem to be a big issue either, we caught all of our fish on both live shrimp and on Bull Minnows. Over the two days we landed over 20 redfish, several large Black Drum, Sheepshead, Flounder and countless Red Snapper! All in all a great two days spent on the water with some great guys!

We were also lucky enough both days to find some nice legal Flounder on the edges of pot holes an in tight to a few docks. We spent most of our time throwing live Shrimp under popping corks and Berkley GULP! sshrimp on a 1/4oz jig head. Very fun days with plenty of action even though we had less than ideal conditions.

We had one of the wildest days ever, seemed like everything we tried worked. The idea was to locate some new spots that I don’t usually fish for some upcoming charters and put a few fish in the cooler for Bryson and Mark. Out of 7 of the 8 wrecks we fished all were holding Grouper and really nice Snapper. Two were holding some smaller legal Jacks and Triggers. After hitting all the planned spots we were running back in to the Triggerfish hole to put a few fish in the box when we ran over a really nice trash line at about 7 miles Due South of Pensacola Pass.
Three or four logs all together were holding tons of nice size chicken dolphin and one log was holding 8-10 Tripletail. After boating a dozen or so of the Dolphin we went after the Tripletail. We boated 5 of them fairly quickly they were just all an inch or two shy of legal.
This was a great day on the water, a great success as a scouting trip and a wonderful day spent with Friends solving the Worlds problems!!!
Thanks Bryson and Mark for the company, lets do it again real soon.

What a wild day!!! Great friend and regular client Jason Baldwin and I headed out today for an adventure. After fishing the Flats for a few hours with very little to show for it, we decided to head out in the Surf and look for some fun. We were hoping to find Reds, Jacks, Tarpon.. just whatever we could sight fish!What we found was amazing, we were greeted my hundreds and hundreds of Sharks! They were all traveling to the West and they were all right up on the beach. 1′ – 3′ of water. It was awesome, we took the mullet we had in the live well and began sight fishing. This was one of the coolest trips this season. It reminded me so much of Cobia fishing. We would cruise along till we would see a pod of sharks, pull up to them, pitch the live bait and hook up.
We hooked well over 20 fish today and broke off or choked another dozen and spotted…………….. Well, I have no clue how many. Had to be in the hundreds!
Amazing day on the water with a great fisherman.
