Last Fishing Trip of 2011 And First Trip Of 2012
January 4, 2012

Mike and his grandson Chris were my last clients of 2011 and put a good whoop’n on some redfish. We fished the creeks and deeper troughs just off the flats with live shrimp and Slayer inc. jigheads.



My first trip of the year was with Scott and his boys Jacob and Josh. We had the cold front move in and bring the wind so fishing the shallows was tuff although we did manage some nice upper slot redfish before loosing the school. Jacob was aslo able to put a nice flounder in the boat which was invited back for lunch at JT’s seafood shack.

Great Day To Fly Fish St. Augustine
January 2, 2012

Carl could not have asked for a better day to cross redfish on fly off his angling list. We had perfect tides, weather and cooperating redfish which makes for an epic day. I had not turned off the big motor before spotting our first school of redfish that were pushing wakes in the glassed out water. I quickly climbed to the poling platform and Carl on the bow equipped with the long rod ready to cast as the school approached. Carl was using one of my favorite flies, an olive flats bunny that did not disappoint as he stuck this nice redfish.

Once the school settled down and began to feed again we quietly approached with stealth and actually watched them for a bit as the redfish were tailing, backs coming out of the water and slurping mullet off the surface. Carl put another great cast on the outskirts of the school and stretched his line once again.



This scenario went on for a few more fish before moving to another pond where Carl caught one more and called it a day.

Michelle’s First Day Back On The Water
December 31, 2011

It has been a long two months since Dave and Michelle hit the water so they were ready to catch some fish. Our first spot had some redfish but we were looking for flounder and managed one so we moved on to another spot that produced another that was lost boat side. Our last spot put a quick 4 more in the boat which two were invited back to dinner along with this nice redfish.
