Kings at the Standpipes

Went out with my son Brad this morning and came back with 14 kings and 3 sharks.

8 ft. hammerhead

Went out on Eds boat Friday and Saturday for him.We landed lots of snapper ,ling King mackerel,trigger fish,blue fish,and sharks.The last fish we landed was a 8 ft. hammerhead shark.

The bay water has gotten a lot clearer since the wind has quit.The trout are in the second gut on the surf right now .California hole is producing easy limits of trout and reds .

40lb Smoker King

Went out yesterday between the rain showers. Caught some lane snapper a shark and a Smoker King fish.We call them smokers because that is what they do to your reel.We had a large grouper pull the line into the rig and break off.That is the second time this week that happened there.Last time I hooked it same spot on a 2 lb live blue runner.I was using a 5/0 Penn gold reel loaded with 100 lb mono.The drag was locked down and that fish still beat me by getting into the rig. If that is the same fish he has also eaten a 15 lb snapper whole on a previous trip.
I know where he lives and We will pull him up yet!

4 FOOT DORADO

Went out Saturday offshore on Doctor's Orders .We landed several sharks ,snapper ,amber jack ,and a 48" Dorado on 20 lb line.That dorado lept in the air many times .We all had a great time.

We have been catching trout in Baffin Bay and some reds .Had a trip there last Friday and lost a lot of fish but we did land 12 keeper trout and 1 nice red. The fishing was tough for other anglers as well.

Fished the Babes on the Bay tournament last Saturday .Sherrel my wife and Kacie my daughter brought in a full stringer of 3 20" trout and a 26" redfish .Still did not even place that was about 900 people entered.We kicked about 800 butts but that was not enough!

We have been catching easy limits of trout in clearer water near Super Flats.Most caught on shrimp but the bigger ones on croaker. The reds are biting cut menhaden and cut mullet.
The Kingfish are here Brad caught 3 today in the jetties.The wind is starting to lay down and I am running offshore asap.

Windy ,tough fishing

Last two weeks have been quite a challenge ,windy 50 mph ,muddy water ,and high tides.The best fishing lately has been right up in the mangrove bushes and grassy shorelines .The reds have been hitting cut perch mostly,some on live shrimp and some on Berkly Gulp.Trout are few because of bad water clarity.Ransom Island ,dagger island ,East flats ,Shamrock cove,and Ingleside cove have been the clearest .

SPRING FLING media event

We had a really great time at the Rockport Spring Fling media event .Lots of great vendor's showing off their products.From Lankat bait bucket ,Midcoast products to Berkley Pure fishing.We also had a lot of great outdoor writers like David Sikes join us.
