It's Still On!!

Friday was a good day for us once again. Four guys boxed 19 trout to 23" and 2 fat reds. We released a nice 26" trout early and ground out the rest here and there all day on plastics. Various plastics including Saltwater Assassins and Brown Lure Devil Eyes rigged on the lightest jigheads we could find did the job for us color didn't seem to matter. 

 Water is still in great shape. Grasslines and scattered rocks from thigh deep to chest deep were the pattern of the day.

It's Saturday and there are a few tournaments going on so it should be a test of wills and patience today lol. Fortunately I have a great, funloving crew so stay tuned.

Just A Quick Note

Blogging has always been fun for me. Its a way I can convey my thoughts and let you see what I see through the written word as well as pictures and the occasional video. I have come upon a new way to get these things to you even faster through FaceBook. Its virtually "real time" stuff and I know you will enjoy it. Click on the link and enjoy.

Still Rockin' and Rollin'

Still seeing lots of bait in most locations. Even a few slicks from time to time. Saltwater assassins rigged on Flutter Hooks fished slowly over the rocks produced most of our trout today. The venerable red/white paddletail took the big flounder. Fished lots of structure today and caught lots of mostly small fish but we did manage enough for a fish fry this evening. Mmmm good stuff. See y'all on the water.

Really Liking This

Things are definitely heating up in Baffin in more ways than one. The waters are steadily getting warmer and I know I will soon be wet wading. Can hardly wait til I won't be scared to have that third cup of coffee in the morning lol.

Soft plastics have been the hot baits lately. red/white, pumpkinseed/chartreuse, and Morning glory/chartreuse are the top producers.

Good sized flounder are falling for the same lures and our topwater bite is showing signs of kicking off. We have a cold front moving through now and we will be a little cool the next couple of mornings but I fully expect to pick up where we left off earlier this week.



Y'all come on down, the fishing is really getting good.

Bigger Is Better

Well, the winds layed down a little and the fishing seemed to be doing the same. Fortunately, Jeff stuck with his Super Spook Jr. topwater long enough to coax a hit from this big girl that almost touched the 29" mark. Saw a few more nice trout chase our topwaters around some of the deeper rocks but they avoided us........ for now. Looking forward to our next little weather window to get back out there.

Let It Blow

Had a good week of fishing in spite of the extremely low water and very high winds. Trout to 28" and several really nice flounder fell for various colors and styles of soft plastics. Water temps are in the seventies and the fishing is getting better by the day.can't wait to get out there each day.

The Beat Rolls On

Great day on the water today with fantastic clients. Today was just confirmation that It's On!! We had quality fish today at several locations in the bay even though the water was less than perfect. 15 - 20 mph East winds today kept things stirred up a bit. Soft plastics of various shades including Limetreuse, Morning glory, Rootbeer and Plum all rigged on 1/16 oz. jigheads or 1/8 oz. Flutter Hooks did the trick.

Shallow rocks and grasslines in thigh to waist deep water worked best and the fish were hungry. Many had gorged themselves on mullet and one that we brought to the cleaning table even had a dogfish in its stomach. Proof that they will eat just about anything. Looking forward to light winds and sunny conditions tomorrow. It should be good.

Three biggest trout today all topped seven pounds. Click on images to enlarge.
