August from the bench

As we sat down at the fly tying bench for this month, August. We’re in full summer mode and tying baitfish style flies to resemble the scaled sardines or pilchards that are so prevalent and a favorite of our local gamefish. Too, as our rain totals increase providing...

August outlook

While enduring the current heat and humidity it might seem that our options are limited.  However, there are some unique opportunities if you’re ready to get up early and be on the water before sunrise. The flat calm conditions make the boat ride worthwhile and it’s a...

Weekly on the fly

This week we’re still loading out of Ponce or Laishley park and working mangrove shorelines towards the top of the harbor. We’re focusing on juvenile tarpon and they’ve been a bit shy and hit and miss. We are picking up a few snook along the way with...

Boca Grande fishing report

The fishing around Boca Grande has been pretty good so far this summer. With it’s proximity to the Gulf passes, Boca Grande and Little Gasparilla, the more oxygenated water flowing in from the outside really helps. Working shorelines anywhere around the intracoastal...

Winter Time red fishing in the Golden Isles

Winter time fly fishing red fish means big schools of fish, clear water and great fishing.  In the winter the water cools and as the plankton and algae die, the water clears.  On neap tides you can see 8 feet down.  So unusual for South Georgia flats fishing.  On good weather days it is possible to have shots at schools of 25-50 fish.  Sometimes more.  Fishing success is highly dependent on the weather in the Winter.  I am not heavily booked at this time of year.  Try to be flexible with the days you can get on the water so we can be on the water on the best weather days.
