Sea trial and a few redfish-June 19, 2009

Sea trialed my 2008 Redfisher on Friday morning in Destin. After showing the potential buyer the boat’s unparalleled capabilities, we stuck 3-4 decent redfish with the youngest of our fishing team fighting them to the boat. We had a great time and it was very hot. Can’t wait for my 2009 21 Redfisher to be rigged and ready. It’s the absolute best of the...

Covering lots of water at Redfish University-June 16, 2009

Guided Terry and Victor from Destin this morning over in their home waters. Started out in Hogtown Bayou and stuck 3-4 redfish but the water was still a little off and the mullet were not as plentiful as in recent trips. Blasted through the landcut and arrived in West Bay as the water was beginning to fall. Found lots of redfish inside and just on the edge of the grass. A few hours into the falling tide, the tailing began. All together we saw 100-150 fish in schools of 2-20. We picked off 7-8 very good quality redfish but all-in-all, the fish were very shy today. Great casts and quiet presentations by Terry, Victor and myself were mostly ignored. It really makes me want to go over there tomorrow at stick the crap out of them!! Anyway, hopefully the fellas learned a ton about shallow water angling and how frustrating redfish can be at times. All fish caught on Gulp! 5″ Jerkshads and 1/4oz. Johnson Gold Spoons. All fish released. Click a photo to view larger...

Louisiana-June 9, 2009

Went fun-fishing over in Louisiana today with pal and fellow Redfish Cup angler, Manny Perez. Ended up with 50-60 redfish and pulled hookless baits from as many tournament quality fish.  Spoons, topwaters and large jerkbaits did the trick and made my arms very sore. Wow! What a tiring day of catching! All fish released happy and...

Hard work at Redfish University-June 7, 2009

Busy with guide trips again and guided Nori and John this morning down in Destin. The duo wanted to learn some shallow water redfish techniques in their area. Full moon and dirty water made things difficult but we figured them out and caught 14 redfish of mixed size. Fished behind schools of large mullet with 1/4oz. Johnson Gold Spoons and Gulp! 5″ Jerkshads in camo. The fish were pretty aggressive very early coming off the full moon and then became tricky mid-morning. All-in-all a pretty decent day and hopefully much was learned in these difficult conditions. I encouraged the guys to return to the areas on any other moon and clear water conditions. Also saw a small pod of porpoise working on large schools of mullet and, most likely, redfish as well.  A pretty cool sight. All fish...
