panhandle

a few shots of this place, fighting tarpon, and a piggy or two.

While in Rome

the weather has been horrible the last two weeks. some good days and some not so good. night fishing started to heat up with summer in full swing.  we also splurged and bought 30 pounds of fresh apalachicola oysters. so tasty.

Bait

here is a photo of bait pilled up on the boat with our albie hookup underneath. pretty cool

The Beach

Fishing been up and down in the bays the last few days, but on fire off the beach.  Got into some dolphin on weed lines.  Always a kick in the pants.

WOW!

 the Albacore were amazing today! at one point the fish pushed the bait ball so hard against the boat, the bait wouldn't leave. I had to motor away just to get the albies back on top.

fish and fishing buddies

West Bay Red's are some of the most challenging redfish to catch on fly, but at the end of the day they're still just a fish and still want to eat. Here are some of my fishing friends with their catch, J & rowe.

Albies!

had a fun day chasing albies and spanish mackerel. beach fish are a big bonus for me, don't see that many down in the everglades.
