Hi Folks,
Wow, what wild weather we are having. Yesterday at 4:30 AM it was 36 and by 6:30 AM it was 63! And we caught fish!
Here’s my abbreviated report:
Inshore Fishing: Trout, trout and more trout…. Specks are biting very well. We have been having nice catches of specks in the river, the inlets and creeks. My favorite bait this year (and it seems it changes form year to year) has been the Bass Assassin “Space Guppy” split tail and paddle tail, fished on a 1/4 to 3/8 ounce lead head. I should have a video up on my website soon.
With the few days of warmer weather, the fishing should continue to be excellent for a few weeks to come. Even so, by the first of the year, I will have to pack it in for the season and start gearing up fast for the boat shows and my fishing school.
It has been a wonderful year. I would like to thank those who have fished with me and hope we will have another opportunity in the coming weeks or next season. I have been fortunate to sell a good number of custom fishing rods and to those new friends I say again, thank you. Finally, I want to thank all my sponsors. Folks, these are my sponsors, not because they give me something, but because they are simply the best.
Be sure to check out my photo page for the latest and keep looking for the trout video.
Until next time…..
LET’S GO FISHING!!!
