2/14 - Lawmakers float boating enforcement changes
If you remember I posted this awhile ago.
It needs to be done.
A state Law-maker is tired of being brow beat on the waters, himself.
I'm sending this man a note RICH WORKMAN (R) if this goes thru, a personal thank you note.
Why is water different than in your car on a street. NO, they can't pull you over and ream you just for the fun of it. But they always have.....on the water!!

2/2 - From FOG to FOG and in between
Started the morning off with Talon and his dad Jeff, out for Talon's first ever fish, and fishing trip.
One of my 2 hour Kids Trips.
Went and pitched some jigs and caught only my second ever SeaRobin ever, in Florida. "it flew to the boat"
As the tide turned and started to flood on in the river. Went to a high tide spot and they were home! And proceeded to catch my limit and 5 other's (TROUT) on DOA Shrimp (1/4 oz.) and Egret Baits VUDU Mullet. It was a blast and they were slamming the DOA like the ole days. After the limit was in the cooler, I played with the VuDu Mullet for awhile and they loved it too.
Really, two of my my favorite soft plastics. I love the fact that the DOA shrimp is so easy and ya work it so slow. It was text book. Cast "cross current" and let it sweep right to them, in the current.
NEXT UP: WEDNESDAY with one person before the bad weather comes this weekend.

2/1- Daiwa Sokkou Knot Tool ..."HACKED!"
HACKED BY CAPT DAVE
(I save YOU money)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pretty soon it'll be hot as hell and right back into yet another summer season. (UGH)
MY GAWD are charters with a Experienced Captain and all the tackle and bait ready to go, CHEAP for what you're getting around here.
LOOK AT THESE BOAT RENTAL PRICES, FUEL NOT INCLUDED, TAXES NOT INCLUDED AND YOU HAVE TO BRING ALL YOUR OWN "STUFF".
http://boatfloridarentals.com/boats.html
I'LL SAVE YOU THE TIME.
$375 (9-5pm) holy smokes!!
That's unbelievable to this die hard angler / fishing guide.
You clean your own fish. You get "what kind of bait" do we need? You bring fishing tackle, You bring ice, coolers, etc. And then probably pay top dollar for those fuel fill-ups at the end of the day.
BUT, YOU DON"T WANT TO FISH?
Okay, let's chat then. I can do that and take you to some super cool places also. Because I know where I'm going and how to get there. I'll negotiate.

1/16 - Patterns have obviously changed, Weakfish too.
Had John & his son Chase aboard today, from Georgia. We hit it really early and the tide ran forever, with a low tide at 7am at the jetties we had current till damn near 10am!
There's three kinds of Trout fishing days around here.
1. Not a lot of fish, but the ones caught were all big Gators.
2. Numerous Trout, but not any with Gator status.
3. Worked your ass off, "Is there actually Trout around here?" because you never caught any.
Today was a number 2.
What I mean by the title of this report is that it's now two winters at least and the Jetty Trout seem to be scarce. Compared to years past. Being a winter of not really any cold weather, it maybe that there's been a shift. I am getting more in the river, but less at the jetties.
The Standard rule if there is one for me has always been;
Trout further from the inlets in the summer, and closer to inlets in the winter. Don't really feel that I'd get an argument with that statement. So, when you don't really have a winter? Well, that's my theory.
The big Bull Redbass seem to really thin out years ago by the 2nd week in November, leaving a few here and there in the river. Well, I believe last month people were still catching them like it was the end of October.
The "Yellowmpouth Trout", aka: real name "Weakfish". Back when Speckled Trout were closed in Feb. That's all we could put in the cooler during Feb. And we'd catch 2 to 4 pounders no problem at the jetties. Float-rig, Jig-n-shrimp, bottom fishing. It didn't matter.
Now and the last few years, these fish all but have about vanished.....And not a soul even mentions it.
They were a steady, main stay at the jetties not only in Feb. But all winter right thru Spring.
5 Pounders and up! My largest was a 7.5 pounder that ate a MirrOlure 5200MR in shocking Fluorescent Yellow with a Fluorescent red head. I thought the fish was a 30 inch Redfish the way it fought.
Boy, do I miss those days. The Good ole days?
TODAY 1/16 we worked hard for any Jetty Trout, real hard. All the while I never saw a single boat around us....."All sheepshead fishing" as usual, even catch a fish! We had a 22" Red, and a Sheepshead as bonus fish today along with our hard earned jetty Specks. And NOT a single Weakfish.
Over all today's catch was still very good.
15 Speckled Trout to 19". 2 - 3 pound Sheepshead, a 14" Flounder, a Croaker worth keeping, a 22" Redfish...and I'm pleased to say not a single Pinfish or 4" Mangrove Snapper.
I could almost used a larger fish box!
MID-DAY NET FULL...had to pull trout and give a count.
I can tell ya it took me over a hour to clean all we had. Didn't go nuts with photos or video today. Just didn't have it in me.
But, as it looked like rain at 1:30pm we packed it in and headed back. All I had my crew do today was Float-rig fish. It's all we needed to do!
But still, things still aren't the way they used to be, which has me pining for the "ole days".

1/12 - What a beautiful day!!!!!!
and of course, I WASN'T OUT THERE!!!!!!
I tell people ll the time.
"I specialize in fishing under the harshest conditions. IE: Full & New Moons, with gale force due East of West winds. Bitter cold record chill days, 6 foot seas on a July afternoon in 99 degree heat with lightning and blinding rain.....because I don't get to pick my days.
Instead of fishing on this glorious day.
I went and got a new anchor to replace yesterdays lost one.
Spent the $201.50 buying my customers their "fishing licenses".
I have to buy the fishing license for the boat in this state.
While every other state customers have to buy their own fishing license.
THEN, I CLEANED UP A BUNCH OF FISH FROM SUNDAY, STOKED UP THE FRYER, POPPED OPEN A FEW "xtra strong" NEW CASTLE BEERS.
SEASONED THE FILLETS AFTER THE OIL BATH WITH SOME CREOLE SEASONING, AND HAD ME A PIG FEST, EATING FRESH FRIED TROUT, FLOUNDER & SHEEPSHEAD,.......
THEN PASSED OUT IN MY LAZY BOY FOR TWO HOURS BECAUSE THE 4 BEERS I CHUGGED WERE SO DAMN STRONG, THEY KNOCKED ME OUT!
c'c'mon, let's git you some!

1/11 - BBBBB'Brutal CCCCC' Cold !
Is it that because it's been 80 all "winter", that when it's 40 (?) it seems like a near-death experience?
Not sure if today was even 40 degrees. Sure felt colder to us.
Had John & Javier from Texas aboard today and yeah, not sure if they were totally prepared either.
"it was a double-hood day, for me all day long!"
And I'll tell ya right now, as soon as I'm done writing this report, I'm heading over to Ebay and ordering me several pairs of the best WATER-PROOF gloves I can get.
That pulling the cold wet anchor line is a killer! (more about the anchor coming....)
We started out Float-rig fishing and there really wasn't much if anything to it at all. nothing but scourge fish (Blues) eating our baits.
Ended up at the jetties and it was damn nice out there. So we bottom fished.
MY DAIWA SHRAPNEL..."I've never even caught a big fish on it yet!!!"
SELFIES...John, two drum and I,
9 & 12 pounds
CAPTAIN MORGAN, and his Pirate bootie!
I'd just as soon bottom fish the jetties right now versus float-rig fish. I'm getting a bit burnt out on the Trout one day, no Trout another thing. It just may not be a good Trout year. Maybe come March & April?
PROBLEM WITH BOTTOM FISHING THE JETTIES IS THAT THERE ALWAYS THE RISK OF LOOSING AN ANCHOR.
YEP, WENT TO PULL MY $95.00 "REEF & ROCK" ANCHOR AND IT WAS SO JAMMED, THE CHAIN WOULDN'T EVEN BUDGE.
THAT'S THE SECOND ANCHOR IN A FEW MONTHS, LOST TO THE SAME AREA.
I NOW HAVE (5) OVER ALL, IN THE SAME AREA OF THE JETTIES. OH HOW I WISH I WAS A LOUISIANA FISHERMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
