skunk ape

today i had 2 goals: 1) find a new high tide redfish spot. 2) get a sighting of the skunk ape

results:  a redfish spot full of big fatties... still no skunk ape.

tripletail

 had a blast the last few days fishing with alec. we fished poppers for jacks, tailing reds, laid-up snook, and crab pots for tripletail.

down south

after fighting cooler water, alec and i decided to head way south. wow... piles of tailing reds and saw a few giant snook.

cold front

unfortunately a cold front pushed through and slowed the fishing down. still managed to catch a few small ones

friends that fly fish

alec guided with me a few years back in colorado.  it sure is nice having another fly fisherman on the deck of the boat.  the weather shut the fishing down around lunch, but before then we had a fun morning.  

Merry Christmas

we want to wish you all a very merry christmas!

good & bad news

we picked up a couple friends on the way to the outer islands this morning. a pretty nice speckled sea trout and flipper himself.

now for the good news, after three days of hard looking I found a handful of tarpon that were willing to eat. the bad news, i didn't get any to the boat.  soon...i promise there will be tarpon pics soon.
