Well, I guess it is about time I did a fishing report. Honestly, there has not been a lot to talk about except WIND, WIND, and more Wind, until now. Finally, Mother Nature is beginning to settle down and the flats fishing is quickly becoming awesome. The best news is that this summer will be an exceptional fishing summer and will more than make up for the slow year so far. There are schools of Redfish everywhere and they are aggressive and actively feeding. They too seem to know it is going to get a lot better.

By the way they are feeding. Yesterday with one of my regular clients John McClain we released 28 Redfish, with 5 of those being in the 20# range. We had 7 double hookups. What a great day.

I have been also busy fishing the Professional Redfish Tour this year and we (The Team of Capt. Larry Fowler and Capt. Rob Hollander) are at the time of this writing 3rd in the Team of Year standings. With a second place and a fourth place finish out of 120 or so boats per Tournament we are very pleased to be where we are. You can look up the results yourself at :

The bad news has been that, due to the wind, I have had to cancel about 25 trips already this year. I will not take you out if I don't think that I can produce a good day for you. I also am the only guide I know of who will guarantee Redfish or no-pay. So you can be sure that when we go fishing you will be catching Redfish. Try to find that with any other Redfish guide.

The good news is that the redfish schools might benefit from an occasional lack of pressure. The water is very clean also this year and should help to make this summer the best in many years.

As of this report, there are still many dates left available for the summer. As the word gets out they will fill up fast, so give me a call and reserve your Redfish fishing trip.

Ready to rip some lips,
