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!

Cobia Mayhem off Port Canaveral 2/26-27/11

Was invited to go offshore this weekend to fish for Cobia on my friends 34ft Pursuit called Dr. Hook with twin yamaha 250 4-strokes.  It was Bernie, Jeff and myself in search of rays and the brown turds aka Cobia.  On Day 1 we saw 3 Cobia and Caught 2 of them but they were to short to keep.  We also caught some sea bass along with some mutton snapper.  On day 2 we found the Cobia we needed.  We pulled up on one ray that had some gangster's on it.  We caught our limit today but lost 2 of the biggest Cobia I had ever seen, they were about 65-75pounds.  The fish were down south in 50ft of water and the water temp was 69.  All the fish were caught on jigs tipped with pinfish and let me tell you the Cobia couldn't resist them.  I was also able to take a quick picture of a mega yacht which is also the owner of the Saints football team.  If you are interested in catching some of these Cobia the next two months is the time to go after them and you can reach me at finandflycharters@gmail.com, www.finandflycharters.com or call (321) 652-5903.  I hope you enjoy the photo's.

Banana River Lagoon Trout and Redfish 2/25/11

Kenny and John booked me for a trip today for redfish and trout.  We found some tailing redfish in about a foot of water but had no takers.  The wind started to pick up so we decided to head to the flats in the thousand islands to look for some nice trout.  The lure of choice was the Mirrodine made by MirrOlure.  After poling on the flats for a half hour Kenny was able to pick off a nice trout.  John had a couple of hits but no hook ups.  If you interested in a trip you can reach me at finandflycharters@gmail.com, www.finandflycharters.com or call (321) 652-5903.

Indian River Lagoon Redfish 2/23/11

Had a Charter with Russ today from Minnesota in search of schooling redfish.  The weather conditions were very tough with gusting wind of 20mph.  We found a school of redfish in the north end of the Indian River but the fish were being to stubborn and wouldn't eat.  After being frustrated with the redfish we decided to go catch some trout.  The trout were running a little on the small side but we got into them pretty thick.  If your interested in booking a trip you can reach me at finandflycharters@gmail.com, www.finandflycharters.com or call (321) 652-5903.

Indian River Trout and Redfish 2/21/11

Had Sean and his two boys Mathew and Conner from New York today on the boat.  The 2 boys had never caught a redfish or trout so it was going to be a whole new experience for them.  The 2 were competing against each other to see who could catch the most fish but both tied toward the end of the day.  Here's a photo of our trip.  If your interested in a trip you can contact me at finandflycharters@gmail.com, www.finandflycharters.com or call (321) 652-5903.
