We caught a bunch of redfish both in the morning and late evening yesterday!

It was cold and windy but we persevered and made the most of it!

The redfish were biting on the oyster bars on the bay side of Blind Pass and on drifts in Blind Pass.  We also caught a very big sea trout on the oyster bars in the evening.  We quit when we couldn’t see where we were casting!  🙂

We’re eating redfish and turkey for Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

We caught some nice redfish on the oyster bars on the bay side of Blind Pass with Charlie and Tim!

The wind and cold were tough, but we hunkered down and caught and released about ten redfish between 7:30 and 8:30 AM.

We also caught some ladyfish, sea trout and mackerel in the sea grass of off Redfish Pass. We did very well considering the weather!

The good news is the wind has blown the red tide away.   The bad news is that wind has been cold the last several days!  Hank is hiding down under the deck to stay warm!!!

On today’s charter we went offshore of Buck Key to fish on a oyster bed for Redfish!

We had great success today, we caught seven Redfish within 45 minutes!  After that we went to Blind Pass, where we caught Jacks and Ladyfish!

Today I decided to make a post about two big fish that we caught in October!

The first picture is of a nice big Cobia, and the other is a picture of a King Mackerel!

The fishing should be good this week, so book a charter now for a memorable Thanksgiving!

On today’s charter we went to fish for Snook in Blind Pass!  Thanks to the fast moving tide we caught a lot of Snook!

Most of time they were small, but every now and then we would hook a huge one!

On today’s charter we went to Blind Pass!

At first, we were drifting with the outgoing tide catching Flounder, some small Snook, and a lot of Sea Trot!

Then when the tide switched we headed over to the rock wall where we caught huge Snook and Redfish!

We are also thankful that the red tide did not do to much damage to the fishing!

Today I decided to take the day off, so today I’ll post a picture of the 170 lb. tarpon that we caught at Boca Grand Pass last June!

It was Charlie’s first tarpon!

On today’s charter we first went up to Captiva Pass to fish for Snook of the beach.  After doing that for a while we caught managed to catch a few small Snook.

So we decided to move on to Redfish Pass where we had much more success!  We landed on a huge school of Spanish Mackerel!  We caught about 30 fish within an hour!

Fishing has been spectacular over the last few months, so come on down and book a charter today!
