Happy New Years ! All is well down here on the forgotten coast this time of year. Fishing has been on fire in between the fronts. My clients have been having a great time fly fishing for redfish. The water is crystal clear this time of year. Add to it the super low winter time tides and it makes sight fishing as good as it gets. This style of fishing really gets your heart pumping as you watch the whole thing unfold. These fish are not dumb and it does take a little skill to master. But a well placed cast can fool even the weariest of red fish.
if your staying in St George Island, Apalachicola , Panama City Beach , Mexico Beach or Port St Joe. You owe it to yourself to come get in the bow of my skiff.

Happy holidays everyone! We are down here just having the time of are lives. Fly fishing the crystal clear flats and beaches from Panama City Beach to St Marks. It’s been really good this year lots of redfish and monster trout. There is so much to offer my clients here and the beauty of the area just takes your breath away. I’ve been fishing all over this time of year and there is fish are everywhere I go. Mexico beach, Port St Joe & Cape Sand Blast and St Joe Bays has been absolutely a pleasure to pole and chase monster trout. Closer to home in Apalachicola, St George Island & Carrabelle. The sight fishing has been off the charts with visibility and water quality better then it been in years. Schools of redfish have been on all the flats on the right tides. It takes a skilled cast and can be rather challenging to a beginner but the rewards are truly worth it.

The fall / winter red fishing has been amazing in Florida's Panhandle. From Carrabelle Florida to Port St Joe we have been finding  consistently good numbers of fish. Last week I was fishing some really good flats near Panama City Beach I couldn't believe the size of the redfish. Speckled trout fishing has been amazing as well around Apalachicola.  It’s been a good fall to say the least! But all I can think about is spring time fishing trips. Florida’s forgotten coast has so much to offer all anglers.  It's a absolutely amazing fly fishing destination any where from Panama City Beach to St George Island Florida.

Who's ready to go fishing in the marsh. If you're not like a kid waiting on Christmas then you should be. I'm heading over next week to start fishing. The stoke is real! Getting the reels loaded up with some fresh fly lines and tying up a pile of red fish flies. I'm just switching gears getting ready for that fall & winter season.  

It’s that time of year folks! Summer time and the livings easy. Sight fishing is amazing this time of year because there’s so much to see. There are so many good angling opportunities to be had this time of year! Tarpon is my main target but that’s far from all there is todo. Sharks , jacks , red and monster black drum all present themselves and provide adrenaline packed fly fishing fun.

Check out this cool video from fly fishing in Louisiana. I spend the fall and winter months chasing these bull redfish. It’s an amazing experience you should see for yourself.

I wanted to take a minute to share an amazing day throwing topwater plugs for redfish. Jim joined me at the dock for a super fun light tackle fishing trip. We left out in some super foggy conditions. The first three spots we tried to fish this morning didn't work for a bunch of reasons. The weather was definitely going to make us earn it today. The bugs and the fog were not letting up the fishing conditions where terrible. We just kept pushing on. The forth flat we had a big redfish blow up and explode the top water plug a foot in the air. The plug landed in the toilet bowl left over from eruption. As soon as the plug hit the water Jim twitched it once and the water erupted again. Fish On! Finally. But the celebration was short lived. After a hard drag peeling run the line went slack.  We were left disappointed, wet and cold. At this point I proceeded to keep looking for Jim a redfish. Shortly after this morning of unfortunate events and conditions we moved to anther little spot and man alive did we find the redfish. Just goes to show why you should never give up no matter how tuff the day is.
