OFF SEASON

DSCN0463 (734x800)

I have not been fishing here since mid December.  Catching has been slow for everybody around Southport, with some seatrout and red drum caught.  I was in Florida for a few days and did catch 9 seatrout and 2 red drum.  My serious fishing her will start up in March.

BAD BARRACUDA

Last fishing trip of the year.  Managed to get our limit of kings and several false albecore.  This big barracuda ate half of one nice fish on the way to the boat.  It wanted the front half also, so it followed all the way to the boat.  Thats when I got my revenge with the… Read More

Went out to the gulf stream on a friends boat yesterday and caught 3 very nice wahoo.  The largest was over 50lb, so now our freezer is restocked with super tasting wahoo.

WAHOO ARE BACK

The wahoo are back at the edge of the gulf stream.  They like 72 to 78 degree water best and several boats have had good luck recently.  Also, the speckled trout are coming back inside and they are catching them in our marina, as well.

Came home from fishing trip yesterday and found this big bird sitting on my roof.  And no; fishing was not great;  two dolphin fish and one baraccuda.

SAILFISH

Cabo 015

It was a quiet day of fishing, until a sailfish hit the left down rigger and took off.  With 20 pound tackle it was great fun.  The fish jumped and tailwalked twice.  It run over 200 yards.  No, we did not get it quite to the boat for picture with the guy on the pole,… Read More
