Guided Mr. Bill Shan this morning. Bill is an accomplished angler from the north US to the Florida Keys. Bill was interested in learning some new areas for redfish trout. Start around 800am with misty, overcast conditions. Found plenty of trout and redfish immediately. Redfish were shallow and the trout were holding on uneven bottom with potholes. Ended up with 15-20 quality trout and some nice redfish including a 26″ fish and a few in the 4-5# range. All fish taken on Berkley Gulp! Jerkshads and 3″ Shrimp. All fish released. Looking forward to our second trip early next...

Guided Mr. Larry McAdoo this morning. Larry is a Houston transplant, a fellow Hewes owner and an excellent angler. After this morning’s rain showers we hit the water and immediately found the redfish and trout. Ended up with 15-20 great speckled trout and 5-6 small but legal redfish. All fish caught on Berkley Gulp! Jerkshads and all fish released. Please click on images to enlarge and view...

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.

Guided Dr. Roger Orth and Dr. Wayne Adkisson this morning. Started out early in the bay system looking for some redfish and speckled trout. Found nice concentrations of both immediately in 2-4′ of water. We absolutely hammered the speckled trout with mostly legal fish and some 3# fish mixed in. The redfish were a bit sluggish as they have been for the last few days but we did hook a few only to drop the hook. We totaled around 25 quality speckled trout and kept 10 for dinner at Roger’s this evening. The second part of the morning, we explored the surfline at the beach in search of pompano and redfish. Only saw a few fish, but it won’t be long as we had a south wind and clear water conditions. Just need more of the same. All fish taken on Gulp! Jerkshads and Marsh Works...
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...
