After a short vacation, I’m back in town and ready to fish. Guided Mr. Rick Sanchez this morning. Rick is the proud new owner of a 2010 Pathfinder 22 and wanted to do some trout and redfishing. Hit the water at 600am and found lots of fish immediately. Found some very nice trout with some small redfish in the mix. Hit some other less productive areas and then got back on track with some big trout and some better redfish. Ended the day looking for those shallow water oversized fish and the jacks but none were found. Great morning of fishing with a fellow Maverick owner. All fish taken on Gulp! Jerkshads and Marsh Works 1/8oz. jigheads. All fish released. No photos today, too busy...

For today’s second trip, I guided Steven Quarles. Steve just wanted to pull on fish this afternoon. No problem, right back to the redfish, jacks and the big Spanish mackerel. Topwater was fun and we also got some on Gulp! Jerkys. Finished the trip with some speckled trout and called it a day. All fish released. Dinner at Tuscan and back at it hard in the morning.

Read MoreDaily double at Redfish University-April 20, 2010
Two trips today! Guided T and Rich this morning. These guys are very good anglers and lots of fun to fish with. Hit the redfish and trout first thing in the upper bays and then headed west to find some pompano. No pompano today so we looked for cobia for an hour. No luck. Headed inside to sight fish some redfish and then found a school of jacks again. Lots of fun on topwater and jigs with light tackle. Please click an image to enlarge and view...
Read MoreInconsistent pompano at Redfish University-April 19, 2010
Guided Mr. Bob Willice this morning. With some pretty decent success with the pompano last week and over the weekend, we hit the beach for some pompano fishing. Covered almost three miles of beach without a bite or a pompano sighted. Very inconsistent pompano fishing lately. Hit some redfish and Spanish mackeral on the way back. Also sight fished a few redfish inside the bay on some shallow flats. All fish caught on Berkley Gulp! Jerkshads and all fish released. Bob and I will hit the pompano again next Tuesday or Wednesday. Bob WILL catch some pompano from the boat on artificials!! Please click on an image to enlarge and view...
Read MoreLots of species today at Redfish University-April 17, 2010
Guided Dr. Roger Orth and friend Carl this morning. Roger wanted a mix of species today and we were up for the challenge. Started in the upper bays early with lots of nice speckled trout and redfish. The flounder were pretty tough today. After a fish on nearly every cast, we jetted for the beaches to find some pompano. Roger stuck the first fish and then we boated another. A couple more bites and a few dropped hooks then we started catching Spanish mackeral. At the next location, we were greeted by some shallow water over-sized redfish as well as some huge schools of jacks. Lots of fun sight fishing these fish in shallow water on very light tackle. The Yamaha 250 SHO covered over 60 miles of water today very, very quickly. Always a plus for fishing time! All fish caught on Berkley Gulp! Jerkshads with Marsh Works jigheads and pink/orange pompano jigs. The Marsh Works jigheads were very impressive on the large jacks. Please click an image to enlarge and view...
