Hopefully this was the last cold front of the year!

We had another front come through this past week which brought strong winds and some pretty nasty weather. This didn’t stop the redfish from getting on the flats and crawling around looking for food. The fish are starting to go into their spring pattern and gorging on the small mullet that are all over the marsh. Bait Fish flies have been working really good and is super exciting to watch a big redfish come behind a 4 inch mullet fly and come out of the water to eat it. Tight lines!

Big Fish are still in!

We have finally received some good weather from the man upstairs and the fishing is starting to stabilize. We are still getting consistent shots at big redfish and black drum and the 5-15 pound fish are everywhere. I am very excited to get into the spring pattern and the fishing will be incredible. Tight Lines!

Had good friend Mark B. Hatter in town

I had good friend and angler Mark B. Hatter in town the past couple days. Mark writes and takes great photography for many publications including Fly Fishing in Salt Waters Magazine.  We had two good days of fishing, had shots at a few big fish over 20 pounds and landed tons of fish in the 10-20 pound range. Mark was able to land his personal best red fish on 4 lb. tippet, a nice 25 pounder. Its always a blast to have Mark in town because I get the chance to get some bow time as he has no problem polling me around a bit. Tight Lines!
