My buddy Trevor and I loaded up the boat this morning on a mission for sheepshead. A quick stop at Hot Spots for some live shrimp and we were on the water by 8. At the pass, we looked at the depth finder the whole time. We found some rocks and ledges at 40ft, so we dropped down. Seconds later, Trevor is bent over!
We stay on this spot for a few hours. Ended up with 12 sheeps and a few cutoffs. Awesome day!

I had the pleasure of taking Denis, a return customer of mine, and some of his family and friends on a fishing trip yesterday. The weather was nice, still a little cold when the clouds were out, but getting better! The fish bit pretty well, it was hit and miss throughout the morning but in the early afternoon we got on them hot! Total for the day was 15 nice sheepsheads, 3 pompano, and 1 redfish.

Dan caught this nice keeper gag grouper but the season is closed until next month so back he went.

American Rodsmiths is a fishing rod manufacturer based out of Huston, Texas. The company has been around for a long time building fresh and salt water rods that have been very popular in many parts of the country including Texas and Louisiana. They have come out with a new innovative idea that has changed the way people look at rod grips. They have put Winn golf grips on two models of their rods.
We got to try these out on a trip to Louisiana to look for some redfish this winter and we were VERY impressed. The other characteristics of the rods are right on also. They have many combinations of weight, action, lengths, and tip taper so that you can find the rod that is just right for you. Find a local American Rodsmiths dealer to check them out. If you are in the Pensacola area come check them out at Hot Spots Bait and Tackle.

I have had the pleasure of guiding a new client of mine, Jim Brown, on two charters in the last week. Our first trip was nearshore grouper and snapper fishing. Since snapper season is still closed we hoped to have a couple chances at a gag grouper so Jim could have some fish to take home. Our plan worked out and he caught his limit of two gags as well as some nice snappers that were released. All fish were caught on dead baits, menhaden and mackerel.
