Early July Panhandle Report

We have had a few bad weather days here in the panhandle as of late but that hasn’t stopped us from jumping fish. The migration is in full swing and the tarpon are poring through our area as we speak. When the weather cooperates we have been putting up some serious numbers. Tight Lines!

The migration is in full swing here in the Panhandle. We are seeing a few hundred tarpon a day and have been jumping a bunch of fish the past 6 days. Here are a few photos. Tight Lines!

Panhandle Tarpon Report 6/11/2010

We had another good day of tarpon fishing in the panhandle today. We are seeing more fish every day and getting some nice shots and really cool eats. We landed two today in the 70-80 lb. range and had a few other eats. We are getting our shots in about 2-3 ft. of water which makes it really neat. They are eating a little bunny strip fly with spun dear hair that I tie for here and when they see it they are crushing it. Tight Lines!

Panhandle Report

We had to deal with a little bit of weather out on the water today but that didn’t stop us from fishing. When the skies cleared we had a little window of sun and we took advantage of it. We had a few shots before we hooked and landed a stud poon in the 120-140 lb range. Fought the fish for 35 minutes and finally got our hands on her after she took us out to see about a mile and a half from where we hooked her. Seeing more fish every day.

Panhandle Tarpon Fishing!

Today was my first day taking tarpon trips in the Panhandle. We had nice weather, not a ton of fish but enough to make it interesting. We had a few shots and jumped a few nice fish. It is still early season here so we should start to see more tarpon every day. Fish were pushing really shallow so the eats were epic. Tight Lines!

Past few Weeks On the Louisiana Marsh and West Coast of Florida

I have been splitting my time in the marsh and florida the past two weeks. With everyone still waiting to see what the extent of the oil disaster, all the local fly fishing guides including myself have still been putting hours on the water taking trips and putting some beautiful redfish in the boat. The redfish are in there summer patters and are all in the thick grass, tailing and crushing shrimp down the shorelines making it a ton of fun on fly rod. I have also been taking trips for Tarpon on the west coast of florida and the fish have been poring through. We have been getting tons of shots and jumping a few every day on fly. Heading to the panhandle tomorrow for the next 60 days to take tarpon trips there, very excited and looking forward to tarpon that will chase a fly down. Tight Lines!

Oil Spill Redfish, West Coat Tarpon

Well, as we all are aware of the oil spill has been on our minds here in Louisiana over the past few weeks. We are all keeping our fingers crossed for the best outcome. I have also been on the west coast of florida the past week in search of monster tarpon on the beaches and back country of charlotte harbor and they are in! With multiple fish days the poons are in and we will be there to get in their path. Yesterday was my first day back in the marsh in over a week and the red fishing was on fire. We fished for 4 hours on the west side of the mississippi river which is still open to recreational fishing and landed 8 nice reds on fly! WE were enjoying every minute on the water because if this oil takes a turn for the worst we may not know when the next time we will get to fish the marsh. We will keep you posted with any updates, keep us in your prayers. tight lines!
