Today was a beautiful day to be on the water. Today I was lucky enough to have two charters. My morning trip was Father and Son tandem Mike and Mikey Goolsbay out of Oklahama. These guys were looking for a few fish to eat and alot of good fights! We started out on the North Rocks and the bite was a little slow. We picked a few nice sheepies for an hour or two. Then like someone hit a switch we started hauling fish over the sides. We caught several small Snapper and a few small Grouper as well. With an hour or so left on our trip we decided to switch gears and try to catch a few Redfish. With an insider tip from a good friend we quickly hooked the two we needed and called it a day!

For the afternoon trip I was joined my The Hastings Family. John, Katherine and John from St. Louis. These guys wanted to try and catch some large fish and feel a big fight. I loaded them up and made short work of the long run back to where I had a bit earlier caught the Redfish. When we arrived we found the fish still there and still HUNGRY! We quickly hooked and landed two and then had trouble keeping the last one we needed hooked up. After a lot of chasing and hard work we managed to hook and land one more fish! With sore arms the Hastings informed me it was time to go land a few Sheepies for dinner. We quickly landed the four fish they had requested and turned the boat back East towards the dock. Today was a fun and exciting day and reminded me why I love being a Guide!!

The last two weeks along the Gulf Coast have been amazing. With temperatures in the low 70′s the winds light and the water crystal clear the fishing is starting to fire off.  My better half Dawna and I have spent the last two weekends scouting local areas for the best bites.

Everything seems to be moving into their Spring patterns. The Sheepshead are already starting to stack up on the deeper structure in the Bay and in Pensacola Pass. The Giant Bull Redfish are also making a great showing with good numbers patrolling the beaches waiting for the Springtime bait that should be well on its way. Of course the ever present and abundant Red Snapper are everywhere. They seem to be on every wreck or reef you can make it to in the Gulf.

A beautiful couple weeks in a beautiful place!!!

……………See you out there

  I had a great crew on Saturday. I guided Brittany King, Tony Coughlin and Dawna Fackrell on an afternoon Sheepshead trip. The winds were a stiff 20+ knots out of the South East and the temperatures were in the 50′s. We arrived at the North jettie to find several boats already there. After finding our spot and sinking the anchor we started deploying our live shrimp.

   We were hooked up very quickly with Dawna landing our first keeper of the day. She was followed very quickly by Brittany who had a keeper of her own. The action stayed pretty steady for about an hour and a half with Tony getting in the mix to land a few as well. Shortly before calling our trip early due to increasing wave size caused by the stiff winds. Dawna hooked our biggest fish of the day. She boated a 4.6lb stud Sheepshead!

 Total catch was 7 Sheepshead and one large stingray. We had a fun afternoon and if the winds would have cooperated we would have surely filled the cooler in no time!
