Guided Mr. Bo King from Houston this morning. Bo wanted to catch some redfish and trout in our area so we set off at 6:00am and got to work. Slick calm and no water movement but we immediately found both redfish and trout in different water depths. The redfish were pretty inactive again but we did stick a few but not like we stuck the trout! It was one after another on some stretches with some very nice quality fish mixed in. Split that area to let the water start coming in and explored some other areas. Most other areas were slow to dead. A few hours later we returned to areas A and B and dropped the hammer when the water started moving. Ended up with 30-35 nice speckled trout and 5-6 redfish with some other good redfish throwing the hooks. All fish caught on Berkley Gulp! Jerkshads with Marsh Works Jigheads.

Read MorePompano Pre-fishing at Redfish University-March 4, 2010
With many pompano sight fishing trips in the coming weeks, especially in late March and early April, we got out this morning to do some looking around. Met my friend and website designer, Randy Hamilton, at 9am and headed towards the Pass. Slow-cruised the beach until we found an 1/8 mile stretch of relatively clean water and started looking. As predicted, we found some pompano relating to deeper holes and washouts. We saw 7 inactive pompano in a 45 minute period but well-placed casts couldn’t entice a bite. They acted like they didn’t even see our Gulp! Ghost Shrimp and orange/pink pompano jigs. Most fish seemed to be quality pompano in the 2-3# range and the numbers will improve drastically with warmer temps, warmer water and with any southerly winds. Soon, very...
Read MoreShort trip, short fish at Redfish U.-March 3, 2010
Had a short trip this morning for some redfish and trout. A more instructional trip but surprisingly, caught quite a few. Started in some protected waters and immediately caught a handful of decent trout including an estimated 5# fish that fell off at the boat. Traveled in the open bay(1-2.5″ chop!) to some protected banks and found some relatively clean water. Pop-corked and ran Lipless Cranks to score some small redfish with a few small trout mixed in. Also cranked some deeper structure and picked up a small redfish. Fishing is tough but they’re still around. All fish caught on Gulp! Jerkys in camo, 3″ Gulp! Shrimp in lime tiger and Lipless Crankbaits KVD style! All fish...

Read MoreBack to Destin for Redfish U.-February 26, 2010
Guided Mr. Ted Taylor this morning in Destin, FL. Ted wanted to learn a bit about shallow water redfishing and figure out what works and what doesn’t work. We were met with cool but pretty nice conditions. We stuck redfish immediately with 4-5 nice fish off the first mudflat. Scooted over to another location with lots of mullet and bait. Lots and lots of redfish inside these schools and they were easy to catch. Poled another shallow area and grabbed a few more tailing fish and then called it a morning. All fish caught on 1/4 Johnson Gold Spoons and 5″ Gulp Jerkshads in camo. All fish released. In Destin tomorrow and Sunday morning at Bass Pro Shops Spring Classic and may hit some of those fish before...
