Tip #1

  • When using live shrimp for bait, try using larger than normal hooks such as #3 Treble or #3 Wide Gap. By using the larger hooks, the undersized fish that are released will have a much better chance of survival.

  • Tip #2

  • Also, wet your hands before handling the fish so when you are taking the hook out, your hands will not damage the protective coating of slime on the fish.

  • Tip #3

  • When you see seagulls hovering over the water, this means there are normally fish in that area. In order not to scare the fish, do not use your big motor when you get near the seagulls. Instead set up a drift or work your trolling motor as you get near or next to the seagulls in order not to scare the fish...

  • Tip #4

  • Avoid fishing in clear water unless you see bait fish activity or diving birds. Fishing in clear water spooks the fish too easily so look for off color water for the best fishing.

  • Tip #5

  • July is a great month for night fishing because you have 2 full moons and this way you can beat the heat of the hot sun during the day.

  • Tip #6

  • Try using cut bait or glow plastic lures in addition to top water lures for the best fishing.

  • Tip #7

  • When the water temperatures rise, as they do in the summer months, concentrate on deep water for trout in depths ranging from 4 to 6 feet. Free lined piggy perch or croaker should produce the best results.

  • Tip #8

  • If you are using lures, try a slower retrieve. Summertime fish are not as willing to chase baits. Reds should be in shallow water early, and later in the day, redfish should move to the edges of flats, where deeper cooler water is near.

    Judy & Capt. Carl,

    I wanted to thank you guys for an awesome weekend at the cabin. It was great being out there Robinson Crusoe style with no responsibilities other than eating, fishing, and sleeping!

    Capt. Arnie did a fantastic job of getting us out there and set up, and had great stories to tell in the process. What a character! I'd especially like to thank him for running us back to shore after we had forgotten our drinking water. For that, I'm glad we weren't all the way down at the Baffin or Land Cut cabins.

    Capt. Don is the best guide I've ever fished with and I can't wait to hire him again for a spring trip. He not only put us on fish, but he put my buddy Mike on the best trout of his life thus far, a nice 29 incher, with a beautiful 30 1/2" red to go with it. (I've included pictures of them for you). Capt. Don was also willing to share his knowledge and insight of the bay system and techniques, which is uncommon among many of the fill-the-cooler guides we've fished with. You've got a great partner!

    We'll definitely be planning a trip this spring for another shot at trophy Trout, hopefully with our own boat so we can get a cabin down at Baffin or Land Cut. As soon as we can get a schedule worked out, you'll be the first to know. Until then, thanks a million and keep up the great work!
