Another Duck Season in the books!

/in /by

What a crazy time this year’s waterfowl season turned out to be!  With insanely gorgeous weather our ducks made us work hard to find them but what a ton of fun when we all got together!   A huge thank you to ALL our hunters – waterfowl, bear, and upland birds (still going strong on Quail until the end of March!)… it is our awesome clientele that makes all the sweat, work, late nights and early mornings worth every minute and always memorable… Thank you.

 

As we plow into Spring the prep for next year is here and so are the Rockfish!!  Inland river trips are the table fare this time of year and the fish have been biting already!  Turkey season is just around the corner and you know who shows up after that – Mr. COBIA!!!

 

Thank you again to everyone… We are looking forward to next year already!!!

 

             

Let’s Go Fishing!

HOT weather and HOT fishing!!  Offshore and Nearshore trips have both been fantastic… super fun groups and a ton of action!  Looks like mother nature is going to give us a little break from the insane heat and get down right pleasant… the perfect time to get out there.    We have a few spots open next week… give us a call before they fill up!

Awesome Summer Fishing!

We are entering one of our favorite times of the season!  July brings sunny skies, beautiful water, awesome fishing, and tons of great people! Thank you so much everybody!  Nearshore family fun trips are a fantastic way to spend time together and get out there to not only catch fish but to see all sorts of cool stuff… what a great excuse fishing gives us to spend time on the water!  And the dolphin (Mahi Mahi) have shown up for our Offshore Full Day trips in addition to tunas, tiles, almacos, kings, barracuda and more!! Even a White Marlin Yesterday!! We have some openings this week – Let’s Go Fishing!!!

Winter Catch Up!

/in /by

We have had one of the busiest and most fun winters!  Exhausting but crazy rewarding, super fun, non-stop and never a dull moment 🙂  A huge thank you to all our hunters… you guys are family to us and we cannot tell you enough how much we appreciate and love you!! We miss everyone already 🙁  We kicked off the season out west and then got down to business back home with waterfowl, upland game hunts, winter boat maintenance and continuing construction on the new lodge (completely restored 1850 farmhouse…almost 3 years of work and finally getting to the end!).  Our lodge is scheduled to be up and running for turkey season and we are really excited to stop building and start enjoying it!  Upland Game Preserve Season continues until the end of March and we have had a blast starting up this new adventure!  We had a soft opening last season and with private hunts this year we are well on our way – we still have some availability this year of anyone is interested in getting some shooting in before it’s back to the water… Fishing will start rolling next month with inland Rockfish and we start chasing Turkeys in April… then… COBIA season!!  We are starting to fill days in May and June for the Fistful so please give us a call if you have days you want to save… it won’t be long before the winter is gone and sunny warm fishing days return!! Give us a shout!!

Nearshore trips this week!

The past week has been filled with Nearshore trips – perfect for families and kids and super fun!!  The Spanish have shown up, the Drum are around, the Kings are starting to bite… even the Cobia are still making an appearance!  Give us a call… we have some scattered 4 and 6 hour trips still available the next few weeks – Get in on the fun!  Also – keep in mind August and September are hot months Offshore – days are disappearing quickly so get on the book if you are thinking about getting out there!

A special thank you to our adopted “Granny” and family for the pic from their annual Offshore trip earlier this summer – it proves that the love of fishing and the outdoors has no boundaries… you are an inspiration and wow are you tough!
