Snapper Fishing is Still Hot!!

Filed Under: Fishing Reports, Matt McLeod, Offshore Reports

Jun.21, 2011

We have been fishing for red snapper almost every day lately. The weather has been good and the snapper have been big and everywhere! A variety of live and dead baits like butterflied menhaden, live croakers, pinfish, and threadfins have all been productive. Along with red snapper we are also catching scamp, mingos and some trigger fish to add a little variety to the box. Get out there while you can, snapper season will be over before you know it!

Hot Spots Back to Back Snapper and Grouper Action

Filed Under: Fishing Reports, Inshore Reports

Apr.24, 2011

I had a busy Saturday today with 2 charters. I have been cobia fishing a lot lately so I decided to change gears and see how the bay grouper are biting. The bite was great and we caught a 3 man limit of grouper along with some really nice snappers. Did almost the same thing on the second trip but threw in a handful of bull reds. Used live pinfish and croakers along with dead menhaden and northern mackerel.

Foggy Day…..Spanish and Speckled Trout

Filed Under: Fishing Reports, General, Inshore Reports, Matt McLeod

Apr.08, 2011

Started out to a VERY foggy bay this morning. It was slow leaving bayou chico but pretty soon we had shrimp in the water. Trout action was ok and we put a few keepers in the box in the 16″ to 18″ range. We lost a bigger fish at the boat. We fished slowing from spot to spot and finally found a great bite of nice quality spanish. Live shrimp under popping corks got us lots of bites and we left with 10-12 nice fish. The weather looks great for the weekend, good luck everybody!

Hot Spots Cobia 4/5/2011

Filed Under: Fishing Reports, Offshore Reports

Apr.06, 2011

Matt, Chickenbone, and I decided to brave the weather and see if we could find a fish out of the bay boat. We cleared the pass about noon and within a few minutes was 1 for 1 just east of the old Coast Guard Station. We fished for a few hours and ended up 4 for 5. Three of the fish were caught west of Pensacola Pier and we caught one between the pier and Portofino. Three of the fish were caught on eels and one a on croaker. We’re doing cobia charters on the 24′ boat with a tower if anyone is interested…

Sheepshead and Cobia!

Filed Under: Fishing Reports, Inshore Reports

Apr.19, 2010

Here are a few pictures from some of my recent trips. Today was really cool. We caught sheepsheads first and then decided to go look around in the gulf since it was so nice. We went 2 for 3 on cobia from my bay boat with no tower! One was small and we released the little guy unharmed, one was 40-45 lbs but I couldn’t get him to eat, and the one we kept was about 30 lbs.

Inshore Report For April 3rd

Filed Under: Fishing Reports, General, Inshore Reports

Apr.05, 2010

Here are a few pictures from my charter on Saturday the third. We had a great time with some nice sheepsheads and some bull reds. The reds were on fire for a while, we couldn’t get a bait past them to the sheepsheads! But that was a good problem to have. All fish caught on live shrimp.
