The summer break is
nearly over and families are winding up their vacationing. Just like last year,
it’s going to start to slow down tourism wise, and although I love my job, I’m
okay with the thought of a few days off. Running just about everyday and
doubles some days will wear you down and at 47 years young, I’m ready for a
break.
So, you want to know
how the fishing has been? It has been off the charts! This July is all about
slot reds and lots of them. Over the past three weeks, I’ve been crushing the
slot reds in the bay, sound, and flats. The bite has been astounding; it’s like
nothing I’ve ever seen. This redstravaganza can’t last much longer; it is crazy
good! The only thing bad about this good of fishing is that each trip I worry
that the bite will finally shut off, but each time we go out, the bite gets
better.
Of course, with August
right around the corner, summer is kind of over for me. The kids are going back
to school and that means August is much slower, but the fishing isn’t over by a
long shot. August is still a great month for all inshore light tackle
species. I’ll be targeting the same
areas I did in July, and hopefully having some of the same results.
I have been guiding in
the Pensacola, Navarre and Perdido Key area for over 11 years now and have been
fishing these waters for 16 years. Trust me when I say I’m your guy when it
comes to light tackle inshore fishing. With my new Triton, state of the art
electronics, all the toys and gadgets on the boat, top of the line rods and
reels, and all the best tackle the front hatch will hold, I can proudly say
you’ll be fishing in style. See my Facebook page for up to date pics of my
latest catches. I write reports on my main site about every two to three weeks.
Thanks for stopping by.

What a year it’s been so far; new boat,
crazy temperatures, flooding, and lots of bent rods. I’ve been fishing non-stop it seems like since spring break. I
received my new 240 LTS Triton in February and I’m so happy with it. It is
everything I’ve wanted in a boat and my clients are very pleased with it as
well.
