Miguel, Rick, Aaron, and Nathaniel

The weather was perfect with a light breeze out of the south. We headed out the Sebastian Inlet just after 9 a.m. There were Spanish and Bonitas every where. We decided to try our luck and go for some bigger fish. I found the greenies just near my house. We trolled for a bit and nothing. We headed to a wreck and caught some big Jacks. Everyone got to catch a big Jack. It was quite the sight to see Aaron reel one in. He got the taste of what it is like to battle a big saltwater fish. Nathaniel caught a Barracuda and Had the only two Permit hits. Missed one and caught one. Great job on the Permit. We also caught a king. Thanks again guys for the trips it was a blast.

John and Jim

I picked John and Jim up at Capt. Hiram’s. We picked up some greenies outside the inlet. I saw a few Bonita thrashing on some bait. We were not able to get a cast off at them. The tide was outgoing all morning. Incoming starts around 1 p.m. The weather was nice up until 11 a.m. The winds started to blow strong 15 to 20 mph out of the north. We caught a few Jacks and missed a few Blue fish hits. It was a slow day around the inlet.

Andy and John

Andy and his father John. Andy is a Engineer at Harris and his father lives in Minnesota. The weather was perfect and the tide was going out most of the night. I picked them up at the Sebastian Inlet at 5 p.m and we headed straight to the bait spot.

We caught plenty of croakers and a few pigs. We also went and caught a few pins. The tide was going out, but it was still calm enough to fish the mouth. Andy and John each had a blast catching there share of Reds. Including one nice double up. Andy caught one Snook that was to big 33″, that is a shame. John also caught one Snook that was just in the slot at 28″. The fishing seems to be getting better with the warmer weather. We worked hard for those two Snook. We decided to call it night. Thanks again Andy and John it was a pleasure to fish with the both of you.

Rich and Dan

I picked them up in the A.M. With some left Baits we left for the Sebastian Inlet. The tide was outgoing. The weather was chilly and is warming up to the 80’s through out the day. Dan lost one nice hit in the Inlet. It was a nice Red. That would end up being the only chance for a big fish.

Rich was getting a little weezy with the boat wakes coming through. We decided to fish the flats. They caught some small trout, a few small Jacks and some small Snapper on live shrimp. The fishing was tough. It seems like that there is no fish in the river right now. Well guys that is fishing some days are better than others.

Jim and Austin

Jim and Austin from Tennessee, Austin is 12 years old. The weather was questionable. There was a front moving down the state and it was suppose to rain in the evening. We started at 5 p.m. and went straight to catching bait. We bait fished for an hour and had about 2 1/2 dozen pins. The sky was starting to darken so I suggested we go with what we got. The tide was moving out when we got there.

We fished the mouth and got in to the Reds. Jim would catch one Red and then Austin would catch one. After a few Reds each. I wanted to see if they could double up and land both fish. They did a great job at keeping the fish away from each other and landed both. It made for a great picture. We tried for the Snook but no luck, just some big Jacks. The storm was getting close so it was time to go. Well this trip was another great trip. Jim it was a pleasure for me to take you and your son fishing. Enjoy the Pictures.

Dan, Marty, and I

Marty from Black Dog Bait and Tackle and Dan from Thunder Baits.  Bait was still rough. At dark the tide was going out. We all caught our share of Reds. Caught a few jacks on plugs. as the tide slowed down we went for the snook. It seems like there are a few fish there but it’s a little tough to catch one. Dan did mange to catch two fish one too big and one too short. The over sized Snook was a great catch at slack tide right up close on top of the fender. Dan your the man! That is the way it goes sometimes.

Chris, Jessica, Lisa, and Tori

Chris and Jessica live in Indiana. Lisa and Tori are local. The weather was perfect. The tide switched to incoming an hour after dark. The bait is still slow. With four people fishing for bait it helped. Chris was casting a Spook Jr. and managed to catch a small trout. We made our way to the inlet right at dark.

Chris and Jessica were both catching Redfish one after another. After all the action with the Reds we moved in and went for Snook. The tide was near slack, Jessica hooked up with a nice Snook close to the fender. It gave her a great fight, pulling her into the fender she did a great job at keeping the pressure on. She landed it and it just made it in the slot. Chris moments later caught a smaller Snook. That was a Slam for him. Jacks are in there as well. Thanks Chris, Jessica, Lisa and Tori for a fun trip.

Capt. Pat and his wife Pat

The fishing is slow. The water level is the lowest that I have ever seen. The  inshore waters are cold again, but very clear. We got into some Ladyfish on the flats in the morning. The Bluefish are thick inside the Inlet. Well lets just hope that the fishing will pick up. Capt. Pat Price is a guide out of Stuart, fl. Check him out if your in the area.

Joe S. and Cole

Joe and Cole. Cole is Joe’s Grandson. They both live in Orlando. We met up at Capt. Hiram’s at 9 a.m. The weather was warm and sunny. The tide was incoming. We fished outside the inlet and caught 20-30 bluefish. Lots of action for Cole. Joe caught a few small Jacks as well. After Joe and Cole had there share of Bluefish we went a couple of different flats and fished with some live shrimp. Joe caught one small Jack and that was it. We called it quits after a bit. Thanks Joe and Cole, hope you guys had fun. see ya next time…

Chip, Philip, Miguel, and Brian

After a great night of fishing the four were back for there day trip. They wanted to split up into two’s on two different boats. Miguel and Brian wanted to fish with Capt. Eric Olsen. Which put Chip and Philip with me. We headed over to the flats. It was a perfect morning, these guys picked a perfect couple of days for fishing. I set up a drift and helped push them through. There was a lot bait. I did not see the schools of reds. Chip hooked up first with a nice small Snook. Philip soon after caught a Snook of the same size. The 2 Snook and a small trout and a small Jack on the flats.

At the inlet the tide was coming in. We made a few drifts and no Reds. There were some small Spanish along the beach. There are some Bluefish in the inlet as well. With the incoming tide we moved to the back. Set up for drifts with a jig for the 3 spot flounder. Chip and Philip caught 2 or 3 each. The half day was up and we met the others back at Hiram’s for lunch. During lunch the wind picked up out of the north. After everyone finished eating we went back out for a little bit. Philip caught a nice size Spanish Mackeral. The winds were increasing pretty hard. I decided we would try a couple of passes for the grouper. No luck. The day was good, perfect weather up until lunch. Miguel, Brian, Chip, and Philip thanks for the opportunity to take you fishing.
