SPRING HAS SPRUNG and just like it should be this time of the year, the fishing has fallen into place! The redfish are flooding the interior marshes and becoming quite easy to find and catch. Live shrimp are already available at the bait house and which is the earliest we’ve been able to purchase live bait ever!!  What does this mean to you, the angler and customer?  We will be heading into the sound to fish rigs and islands catching trout earlier on the outside. It makes more productive days on catching redfish and drum in the interior marshes.

See ya soon!

June Report

Anglers! It’s June! Summer has arrived. It’s time to begin the migration towards the outer bays and lakes. Like the predator fish, we will be following our prey to their Summer habitats.  As you know, speckled trout move out to the deeper water bays, lakes, and sounds in huge numbers to spawn and feed.  Along the northern gulf, many of these areas are littered with shallow water gas rigs, reefs, and islands.  We fish these areas because we know the fish we are chasing love to hold onto structure for protection and ambush points.  Many times when we are having windy springs the fish tend to hold onto the islands and reefs because they can be somewhat protected. Plus, they can have good salinity for spawning.  It’s like the old saying “right place, right time!” You have probably heard 90% of the fish are caught by 10% of the fisherman.  The reason why this holds true is that the anglers who catch the most fish know where the fish will be located under ...

July Fishing

Well , anglers, the heat is on but don't let that discourage you from getting out and taking advantage of the awesome fishing right now!  With the increase of water temps, the fish begin to feed early and late in the day. Speckled trout tend to follow this pattern more than other species that we target during the summer months.  As water temps increase during the day, fish tend to slow down some unless you follow this one rule of thumb. When temps increase, you increase the depth that you fish!!! That’s right the warmer the water the deeper you need to present your bait.  I love to fish shallow early with artificial baits like MirrOlure She Dogs and She Pups in the bone and silver patterns, but if you are a live bait angler then you need to fish around islands and reefs early with VersaMaxx Bolt Corks. Try popping the corks every 3-5 seconds but try not moving the cork, leave a little slack in the line and pop.  The reason for this is you want to call the ...

Hey everyone! I hope your New Year is going great!  As you know, February is now upon us and our fishing hasn't slowed down.  Redfish and Drum are filling the ice chests every trip.  As a matter of fact, we have limited or filled the chest till we couldn't close the lid in every January trip.  With the mild winter, the fish never really moved into the winter patterns.  If you like fishing during the Fall run, it has never stopped!!!  It has been so warm that Campo ’ s Marina still have live shrimp as of January 31st!! We have been fishing under a cork with live shrimp in shallow ponds. The fish are schooled in tight groups, so once we get on them, it is triples and quadruples till the limits are done.  Reds and Drum are filling the chests but the speckled trout are around too.  They have been coming off current passes and small lakes either using corks with shrimp or soft plastics retrieved slow and steady.   I am in the proc...
