I had the pleasure of having Toni G and her family as my guests on Tuesday. Her son had just proposed to his fiance and her parents were here and they wanted to celebrate the occasion with a fishing trip. After a little instruction they were all casting and soon the fish began coming over the gunwales. When the action was hot, we even had two at time action on double rigs. The fish were a little on the small side today with quite a few throw backs, but they still managed to put 33 trout in the ice chest, which was more than they were able to eat for dinner that night! The action is hot right now so now is the time to book your trip. The fish today were all caught on live and dead shrimp and plastic lures. We fished near the end of the MRGO leaving from Shell Beach.

I made a quick scouting trip to Shell Beach yesterday to find lots of sheepshead along the rocks of the MRGO. They were taking live shrimp under a cork and holding very close to the rocks. I could have loaded the boat with them but headed further down the rocks only to find stained water, so I went to an inside bay over oyster reefs and the specks where waiting for me. They were a little on the small side but were biting on almost every cast. Once the water clears up a little more Shell Beach will be on fire. I still have some June openings on weekends and weekdays as well as July openings. Book your trip today!

Today I had a family group of two fathers and two sons out on the lake for some fishing fun. At our first stop 13 year old Jackson hooked into a nice redfish which he expertly landed. We moved around trying to find a better bite all along the train tressel, twin span, and lakeshore estates. Our catch for the day included 5 flounders, redfish, croakers, black drum, some small speckled trout, and freshwater catfish. Everything was caught on live shrimp on a Carolina rig. A great time was had by all making family memories! I am starting my Shell Beach trips now and have some openings in the next few weeks on weekends and weekdays. The fishing will be off the charts!

Today I had as my guests Kevin and his 8 year old son Andrew out fishing to make some memories. It was a little bumpy to start out with an unexpected west wind. In spite of the wind, Andrew was reeling them in. We caught speckled trout, drum, sheepshead, and croaker. A great father and son day on the water. Starting June 1st. I will be starting to do charters out of Shell Beach and I still have some openings for weekend as well as weekday trips. Check the details for this 8 hour trip where we really haul them in.

After last week's rain and wind, we were back on the water yesterday with Clarence and his experienced group of fisherman and we put a nice box of fish together. We had speckled trout, redfish, a bunch of flounder, back drum, sheepshead, croaker and a very rare Sturgeon which was released. We were fishing the train tressel with live shrimp Carolina rigged. The bite would come and go and by 10:00 the group had a nice ice chest of fish and were ready to head in to beat the heat. It was a great day on the water for this group of old friends. The elder in the group was 92 years old and out fished all the others. I have openings for trips in Shell Beach beginning on June 1st. This is shaping up to be a great summer.
