Some Chicks Fish Too hotties at Redfish University-March 19, 2011

Hey! I like fishing and I like beautiful women, so today was a great day. Got out for a few hours this morning to get some footage for Chicks Fish Too. A buddy of mine in South Florida runs the gig and my website designer and marketing genius, Randy Hamilton, handles his site and marketing as well. Found an area with lots of big redfish, beautiful water and got some really nice photos. I went into the process assuming I would be hooking fish and handing off but I was mistaken. I pointed, they recognized the fish, made very good casts and they hooked them solo. Very cool to see. Anyway, got 5-6 big fish and cruised back to Pensacola Beach for a day at the beach, a fabulous lunch and a few cocktails. Travelling a bit this week and sorting my new boat, so I’ll report back next week with many more reports. E Holstman  Please click an image to...

A father and son day to remember at Redfish University-March 18, 2011

Guided Steve and his  eight year old son Tyler this morning in search of speckled trout and some big redfish for Tyler to pull on. Found some nice trout around Gulf Breeze and then we hit some clear shallow flats where I was able to introduce Tyler to some very exciting sight fishing. This sand flat was full of redfish of all sizes and they were incredibly easy to catch which provided tons of fun for the fellas. Ended up picking up 15-20 redfish as they came by in singles-triples and Tyler even hooked several himself which resulted in an early afternoon nap. I know he’s hooked now but we’ll work on his endurance. All fish released and had a dead camera battery but I was sure to charge it thoroughly for Saturday morning’s trip. You”ll see what I mean.

Another successful sight fishing day at Redfish University-March 17, 2011

Guided Travis and his father today. Took off at 1000am and cruised to some extremely productive flats for sight fishing redfish. It was a bit tricky today with tea-colored water and poor visibility. Made sure the fellas were supplied with my client pairs of Oakley Monster Dogs and Scalpels and it wasn’t long before we were seeing and catching some quality fish. Made a little milk-run and found great numbers of fish in each area and even caught some of those annoying redfish on the beach that have been pretty difficult as of late. Plus, the water was beautiful and very clear along the beach. I did see a few pompano including a 4-5# bruiser blazing through the surf. Hopefully one of the surf anglers didn’t lose a rod to that beast! Anyway, again tomorrow so I’ll report back then. A few dates left in March and April but they’re going fast. Book now to experience the thrill and knowledge of Redfish University. E Holstman Please click an image to...

Easy day of sightfishing at Redfish University-March 16, 2011

100% sightfishing today and that’s the way I like it. Had a couple guys today with the request “we’d like to see fish and catch fish.” They came to right place, that’s Redfish University’s speciality. Hit the beach and stuck a few nice pompano and then fished some shallow flats for legal and over-sized redfish. Hammered the redfish in the 6-30# range with easily 20 fish in the boat in a few hours. With some tired anglers, I travelled way east into the Sound and found them some more legal and over-sized redfish on the shallow grass flats. Always easy to find fish but they were rabid this morning for us. Easy, easy day. Back again tomorrow. Better book now, filling up quickly. E Holstman Please click an image to...

Windy, rainy and lots of fish at Redfish University-March 4-5, 2010

High winds nor rains can stop Redfish University anglers! Guided Lawrences again on Friday then Jeff and his son, Cody, and Saturday. Conditions weren’t exactly ideal with 30-35 mph winds and some rain but there’s nothing wrong with a little challenge. Both days were filled with lots of redfish and speckled trout including a nice 5.5 fat trout. Most of the redfish were in the 19-24″ range and were cooperating nicely before the front blew through. We switched to larger 1/4oz. Marsh Works jigheads because of the high winds but the Gulp! 5″ Jerkshads remained the bait of choice. Forgot the camera for Saturday so I’ll add more client photos later. Lots of trips coming up so hopely the fishing will continue to be outstanding at Redfish U. I think it will! E...
