I spent the day fishing with a three generation family crew. Mickey, his son Kurt, and his grandson Karter, fished hard and put together a decent box of fish including a nice 26 inch Redfish. We all got soaking wet at the end of the day as they decided they wanted to stick it out through a rainstorm as we were on a pretty good trout bite. I had a lot of fun with this crew of good fishermen from Michigan and look forward to having them back again soon in God's Country!

What a blessed day out in God's Country with an outstanding father and son's crew from Alabama! I fished with Al and his two sons, Maslin and Trice, on a half day charter. It was a guy's getaway trip before Maslin's wedding today, and they just wanted to catch some fish and spend some time together on the water. Well, I have to say they definitely accomplish both things! They were catching fish from the first stop, and stayed on them the whole trip. Started out with Redfish and a massive Black Drum, then continued on to catch over 30 Redfish, including eight real nice keeper Reds. Kept three and safely released all the rest to fight another day. Finished out the trip on a hot Seatrout bite. They caught and released between 15 to 20 quality Trout in about 30 minutes, all but two were in the 15 to 19 inch range. We left them biting as they needed to get back for pre-wedding functions and responsibilities. The Good Lord really blessed them on this trip with abundance, and I was honored to be able to spend this time with the three of them! I pray that the Lord will bless Maslin and his bride with a long and happy marriage. From what I hear from the guys, it sounds like Maslin got the best catch!!!

I spent the day yesterday fishing with my good friend and multiple time charter client Ian, and his daughter Hannah. They have been dealing with a personal tragedy in their family so I think a little fishing trip was just what the Good Lord prescribed for them! I pray this trip helped them to heal a little. We started out getting on a good Seatrout bite first thing. Kept five good ones for the cooler and released the rest to fight another day. Hannah also caught her first Redfish, which was a keeper and the biggest of the day! She caught her first Seatrout as well, including a nice 17 and a half inch one that was also the biggest Trout of the day. And, of course, she made sure to let her dad know that she caught the biggest fish multiple times during the course of the day?! Captains Cove live shrimp and cut Lady Fish where the preferred bait for the day. It was truly my pleasure to have this incredible father-daughter team on my boat for a day of fishing and healing in God's Country!
