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 MoreThe Yamaha VMax 250 SHO is now at Redfish University-April 16, 2010
Redfish University proudly presents the Yamaha VMax 250 SHO. We are thrilled to continue to offer our clients the absolute best in saltwater shallow water fishing!! We just raised the game with the Yamaha SHO! Just finished breaking in my new Yamaha 250 SHO on my 2009 Hewes 21 Redfisher. This engine is absolutely incredible and I’ve never experienced an outboard like it!! Because I only have 2.2 hours on it, I didn’t go full throttle but I did let it breathe. Shoots the hole in a blind. Hit 64.5 mph with plenty left at 5300-5400rpm with the trim a less than half. Because of my astonishment and my hair being on fire, I didn’t look at the flow but I will really push it tomorrow morning and I will have a better report. I did register 4.6mpg at 46 mph. Equally as impressive was the way the Hewes 21 Redfisher handled at 65mph. No walking, no wiggles. I will hit 70-72mph tomorrow morning, check the fuel flow at 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 73 and report back immediately. I will also have some more photos. Tomorrow morning, Dr. Roger Orth will be the first client at Redfish U. to experience the SHO. Book your shallow water adventure now! This engine is thrilling!

Read MoreHigh expectations today at Redfish University-April 12, 2010
Guided a tough crowd today for a little prefishing in some areas that I haven’t fished in a long time. Brought my dad and brother who always expect an epic morning with me in any conditions. The last of the neap tide again today, but we found plenty of redfish, trout and flounder. Redfish were tough, trout nearly every cast and saw plenty of flounder including a nearly 4# fish caught by young Wesley. All fish caught on Berkley Gulp! Jerkshads. Kept some nice flounder and trout for dinner. Please click an image to enlarge and view...

Read More7# Speckled Trout, 6.5# Redfish, bulls and pompano at Redfish University-April 2, 2010
Guided Mr. Billy Thigpen this morning. Billy is a regular client from Atlanta and is down for Easter. We started out early for some big speckled trout and did we find them!! Billy stuck a 7# trout at first light. We also hit some very nice redfish in the same areas including a nice 6.5 fish. After an hour of slaying the redfish and trout, we took off for the beach in search of pompano. Found some pompano concentrating around deeper holes. We also sightfished several large redfish in the surf while we searched for the pompano. All fish caught on Berkley Gulp! Jerkshads and pink/orange pompano jigs. Guiding Billy again tomorrow in the Maverick 17HPX in some very shallow water and we’ll be throwing at tailing and cruising redfish all morning long. Can’t wait!
