    Inshore Report:
Winds 15 – 20, cloudy conditions, but hey if you want to go red fishing, then sometimes you just have to go. I knew it was going to be a little bumpy, but not till around noon. As I launched the boat and saw the white caps, I knew it was going to be choppy in the bay. We hit the first spot, no luck, went to the pass and it was just way too rough, tried to fish a bit for some big Bonita schools, but it was just too bumpy, so we headed back to spot C. As I showed up I saw only one boat that looked like they had just arrived. The conditions were a little better there as we had some cover from the wind. Spot C turned out to be a good choice, because the reds were there and it was game on for a good hour and a half. My clients Jim and his son Aaron had fun battling these monsters on light tackle.
After Jim had hooked two he pulled out a sandwich and wolfed it down fast for energy to go after more reds. Aaron said, “I’ll eat after the trip.” and continued to hook reds. He was all smiles landing red after red. I really like the golden color of fall reds; golden pumpkins surfing the waves.

Tackle corner:
I was using my new Penn reels with my new All Star ASR rods. It was a match made for fishing. The reels were smooth and had no problem handling these big reds and the ASR rods had great power and a fast tip, which I like with my fishing rods. I was able to turn the fish when I needed to and able to bring the fish to the boat in a reasonable amount of time so not to wear the fish out too badly.
I’ll be out again a few times this week in search of my favorite fish, Mr. Redfish.
I can’t get enough of these big reds; it’s so much fun. Every time I hook one it’s like hooking my first. It brings a smile to my face every time.

About Us!
Capt. John has a lifetime of fishing knowledge and over 9yrs of experience fishing the northern gulf coast and our local waterways. I have enjoyed fishing all my life. While living in the Midwest, I fished Kentucky & Barkley Lake for years along with the Ohio River and many local waterways. My first passion was bass fishing, but when I visited the Gulf Coast I found my new love: Salt Water Fishing ! The excitement of saltwater fishing is like nothing else. Hooking into monster Trout on the flats or having a big King pull off 80 yards of line in seconds is what it's all about. Fishing is my life, and I enjoy seeing my clients hook up on fish just as much as if I caught them myself. Depending upon what time of year it is, there is always some type of fish to be caught in our area.
