Snook fishing with the Slow N Low Girls 4/3/11

Had a call from a friend of mine asking me if I could take some girls that work at slow n low out fishing, I said sure.  So the next morning I met up with Annette, Lauren, and Mary at Port Canaveral for some snook fishing.  We headed south out of the port looking for bait and let me tell you there was bait pods everywhere!  I had Annette drive the boat for me while I threw the cast net.  There was so much bait that when I threw the net the bait fish were swimming the net up to the surface.  Once we got the bait into the live well we headed back to the mouth of the port to start fishing.  The bite at first was a little slow but gradually pick up.  Lauren was the first one that hooked up, this snook was a slob but after fighting it for ten minutes the hook pulled.  Lauren then hooked into two more snook landing one nice one that was in the upper to over slot range.  About twenty minutes later Annette hooked up with a nice snook and landed it.  Mary on the other hand just layed around trying to get a nice tan.  The following day I took Chessnee and his girl friend Tina out for some snook.  We landed two nice snook and also caught a nice 12pound tripletail. Both days were excellent fishing so if your interested in booking a trip with me for snook you can reach me at finandflycharters@gmail.com, www.finandflycharters.com or call (321) 652-5903. Here is a little video along with some photo's.

Indian River Black Drum and Trout 3/30/11

Had Greg and Ron on the bow of my boat today celebrating Ron's birthday.  The two brothers are local Florida boy's that love throwing artificial's.  We started out our day searching for tailing redfish.  We found ton's of tailing fish but they were be very stubborn today. Greg was able to hook into a nice slot fish but after fighting the fish for a couple minutes the hook pulled.  As I poled us along the shoreline I noticed out in the deeper water little tails were popping up.  Greg casted in the general area where I saw them hooking into his first black drum on artificial.  Towards the end of our trip we headed out to deeper water to catch some trout.  The trout bite was awesome and both Greg and Ron caught a handful to themselves.  If your interested in booking me for a fishing trip you can reach me at finandflycharters@gmail.com, www.finandflycharters.com or call (321) 652-5903.  Enjoy the photo's.

Turkey, Snook, Redfish, and Cobia Madness 3/19/11

Well to start it all out, today was opening day of turkey season.  I took a good friend of mine Matt Badolato to my secret spot at Bull Creek Wildlife Management Area.  We got set up in the blind around 6:15a.m. and waited for sunrise. When the sun came out I started making hen yelps, clucks, and purrs on my primos jackpot slate call.  Around 8:20a.m. we had two turkeys come into the decoys, both were males, so Matt and I both raised our 12 gauge shotguns, counted down from three and fired at the two turkeys.  Both turkeys went down.  We were so excited.  This was my 4th Osceola turkey and Matt's 1st.  About a minute later we heard our buddy Charlie Broughton shoot a turkey just a little further down from us.  When we left Bull Creek I noticed the conditions were ideal for cobia so I called my dad and my friend Chesnee Cogswell to see if they wanted to go out in search of cobia.  We launched out of Port Canaveral around 2p.m. and headed 20 miles south.  A hour into the fishing we came across a ray that had 4 cobia on it.  My dad casted the live croaker at the ray hooking into his first cobia that weighed around 30 pounds.  We came across 3 other rays and Chesnee and I were able to fill our limit of cobia on the boat.  As we got back into the mouth of the port, I stopped at the jetties to see if there were any snook or redfish biting.  Are baits weren't in the water more than 5 minutes and my dad hooked into a nice slot snook.  Then Chesnee caught a snook.  15 minutes later Chesnee and I doubled up on redfish.  We fished for another 10 minutes and then headed back to the ramp.  Today was a awesome day to spend outdoors and if your interested in booking a fishing trip with me you can reach me at finandflycharters@gmail.com, www.finandflycharters.com or call (321) 652-5903.  Here is also a article about our turkey hunt, just click on the Florida Today.  Enjoy the photo's!!!

The Publix Crew 3/18/11

Took a couple local Publix grocery bagger's out today.  Had Zach Bowser and his good friend Dylan Durkin on the bow of the boat in search of cobia.  Zach and Dylan had never caught a cobia before so I knew if we got one they wouldn't care how big it was.  We headed 20 miles south of Port Canaverl looking for rays and free swimmers. About an hour into our trip we came across a giant ray that had a 12ft wing span with 3 cobia on top of him.  We casted a croaker at the ray hooking into a nice 30lb cobia but after fighting the fish for about 15min the hook pulled.  As we hurried to get another bait on the hook, we caught back up to the ray hooking into a 15 pounder.  This one stayed hooked up and met Zach and Dylan's dinner table.  We drove around some more spotting a sea turtle with 2 cobia on it.  They wanted nothing to do with our jigs and our bait so we decided to work our way back to port.  At the end of our trip we only ended up with one cobia but both were able to fight a fish of there own.  If your interested in booking a trip you can reach me at finandflycharters@gmail.com, www.finandflycharters.com or call (321) 652-5903.  Here is a photo of Zach and Dylan with there cobia.

Cobia Mayhem off Port Canaveral 3/14/11

Had one of my repeat clients on board today in search of some cobia.  I called chesnee a close friend of mine to see if he could mate for me to help spot the cobia.  We set out of port canaveral around 10a.m. and headed 20 miles south of the port to start looking for free swimmers and rays.  It hadn't of been 30 minutes till we found a ray that had four cobia on it.  Gene, my client, casted a troy perez cobia jig at the ray hooking into about a 40 pound cobia.  Fighting the fish for only 5 minutes the cobia swam in front of the ray's path and one of the ray's wing cut through the line like it was butter.  We were all bummed but the trip wasn't over yet. 3hrs later we moved in closer to the beach to find cobia swimming on top of bait pods.  Gene casted the jig at the cobia hooking a 51 pounder that took him in a fight that lasted about 45 minutes.  As Gene was fighting his fish another cobia popped up next to the boat and my mate Chesnee casted at the fish hooking a 63 pounder. They landed both fish and both were exhausted after fighting them.  We started to head back to port and we came across another cobia on a bait pod, this one was only about 20lbs but he to went home for dinner.  At the end of our trip came picture time, here is a few photo's of our catch, I hope you enjoy them and if you would like to go catch these monstrous fish you can reach me at finandflycharters@gmail.com, www.finandflycharters.com or call (321) 652-5903.

March Madness 2011

Fishing in March last month was incredible, the redfish and trout bite was insane.  In early March the water temp was still a little cool which kept hundreds of redfish and trout in deep troughs and in some residential canals.  All my clients that fish with me last month had a blast.  As the water temp starts to warm up the trout will start spawning, moving out of the creeks and deep troughs.  The lure that was on fire during March was the Berkley Gulp 3inch Natural Shrimp on a 1/8-1/4oz jig head.  If you would like to come and catch redfish and trout with me you can reach me at finandflycharters@gmail.com, www.finandflycharters.com or call (321) 652-5903. I hope you all enjoy the photo's!

Indian River Lagoon Redfish 3/5/11

Had a call from Capt. Willy Le for a multi boat trip on the Indian River Lagoon.  We all met at Parrish Park and I had Andy and Neil on my boat for a day of redfishing.  We started out our day catching small redfish and keeper sea trout.  Neil was a experienced angler from Jacksonville with his biggest redfish at 30inches, so I wanted to try and get him a bigger fish.  Earlier that morning Willy and I found a school of black drum mixed with some 20-30lb redfish.  I decided for the last hour of our trip we would go back to that spot and chunk out some cut ladyfish.  It wasn't even 15min and one of the rods doubled over.  Neil fought the redfish for an hour and fifteen minutes before it finally gave up.  The fish was 46inches and weighed 32lbs, it was Neils biggest redfish and everyone was super excited when he landed it.  If your interested in booking a trip you can reach me at finandflycharters@gmail.com, www.finandflycharters.com or call (321) 652-5903.  Enjoy the photo's!
