Largemouth Bass

Special days

The day was hot the fishing was not. So what's so special? I had to honor of taking 2 brothers out. One is still recovering from a stroke. We had good conversation and laughs while enjoying the experience of watching this man catch the biggest fish of his life. That friends and neighbors is what it's all about!

Summer Flounder

A fun day with anglers from Tennessee brought flounder, whiting, sea bass, mangrove snapper, and plenty of action throughout the morning.

Had some fine folks for Tennessee today for the day. Fishing Palm Coast was fun and the company was good. Fish totals for the cooler were a whiting , 3 flounder, sea bass, and mangrove snapper. Had a steady bite all morning with the tide change in the morning. It died off for a while then turned back on late. One flounder had the scar of a previous close call in life making it unique. Too many shorts in a mixed bag to count.

More than 75 fish caught, with big trout, sea bass, and exciting shark fights making for an unforgettable summer trip.

These guys were the best, caught over 75 fish out of Steinhatchee Florida despite 89 degree water. Yes many short trout. Hey it's summer. The bite was strong early with a couple big trout and some solid sea bass for the skillet. The sharks gave us some fun drag rippin fights too.

Had the good fortune to have these football players from Ohio State out enjoying a bit of time off on Rodman. Man can they make big fish look small. Well they make everything look small. The pre front morning had the bass going off with over 20 fish up to 6.5lbs. on a 4 hour trip. Class act guys.

End of drawdown trip

It took a few days in a row to pull off a picture worthy post. It happens and thanks to old friends that understand fishing isn't always on fire. Rodman is being filled again so the bass are moving and can be a bit difficult to locate. We fished to no avail for an hour and moved a few times then....... racked off about 8 fish fast then kept it going with some sweet 8 pounders!

I had 2 days with these repeat clients bass fishing on Rodman Reservoir the last 2 days. Day 1 was OK and we had a few fish with an 8. Most were smaller but fun. Day 2 was a miserable start without a bite till till almost 10. It sucks but happens. Then after some moves and the sun broke through the fog..... BOOM! We blew up a hole with a 9.33 as the fish of the day. Great to see these guys again.

It's a family affair

It's a family affair. Today I had Dad and wife after the last post of Cody and wife. Once again the lady had the hot hand bass fishing  on Rodman Reservoir in Florida. Another trophy 8.3LB and it was caught immediately on the first cast. Ha Ha that's just another great story to tell. Great folks from PA.

Some days are oddly special. What I mean is all odds are against you. The water temp dropped 10 degrees as a cold front came a callin'. I had a pucker factor for sure when I looked at the electronics. Then this gal busted her first fish ever, I mean never caught a fish, trophy 8 pounder. Crazy, and she was a natural! The bite was as frosty as the weather and freezing wind but what we caught was all solid big fish. Great day with this young couple from PA on Rodman.

The competition was on for the Moore family and you can see the winner. I love the fun and games of this work. The pre cold front on Sunday kicked em off. Landed 15 bass and 3 big crappie/speck by 9:30. Great morning with repeat guests. Look forward to seeing you folks again.   

Some Wisconsin boys with lots of bass

Chilly morning fish

Day 2 with Mike and family started at 28 degrees! That's stupid for Florida. It was an odd foggy morning and Jr. just wacked em with 12 fish by 9AM. Oddly Rodman has been shutting down around 9 or 9:30 the last few days. I think the changing moon phase and warmer weather will change this pattern. 

Day 2 on Rodman Reservoir with Danny and his daughter. 

Slow start this morning with odd water conditions in the first area we fished. Usually a good spot only managed 3 or 4 small bass. After a few moves the bass graced us with their presence. Had 3 5's and a 7lb fish for the biggest bass on the day. The fishing will remain outstanding through March accept for an occasional 1 off day. That's nature. Florida bass fishing is never better than right now.

Noah got a 6 pounder and we lost a big one at the boat. Great day with new friends. Florida bass fishing is only getting better. Not many days in Jan. and Feb, left

Father Daughter outing

I say I have special days so often but, it's true. So many special days. I don't give children's names but this young lady was a natural. A few tips and at 12 she was on her own! Casting, setting hooks and fighting fish to the boat. She now has a PB of 8 pounds and well, smoked dear old Dad this morning. Always refreshing to meet well raised children and great Fathers. She even laughed at me taking the equivalent of a banana slip spill! I told her I would have been disappointed if she didn't.

Pre 500 had bass buistin loose

Fished with my new friend Chris from Birmingham pre nasty front and before the Daytona 500. The pics don't show the howling winds that came. No monsters but non stop solid 3-5's. We tucked and ran at 11 before it got real bad.

Day 2

Day2. We missed a 2 that may have been really big. That's fishing. Before 9 o'clock we had 11 fish but nothing over 5 lbs. We were on the hunt for a MONSTER so we abandoned the old don't leave fish to catch fish and made some moves and started using 8 -10 inch baits. We only managed two 7s after running slim on bait, on the smallest baits we had? Go figure.

Day 1 of a 2 day trip Feb 9, with a great new person to know. Semi retired Tuna fisherman. He had knowledge and great stories to tell. Pretty flawless fisherman in the later days of life but, still living it everyday. His last tuna he caught was 180lbs on a spinning rod! Day 1 we had around 13 fish and most solid 3-6 pound fish.

Ash and sons from So. Africa via Austin TX.

Had new clients Ash , Noah, and Josh out for a morning trip. The weather was beautiful and finished the half day trip just before the Florida heat kicked in. Boated over 15 bass from 2-4 pounds. That's a solid morning for summer bass fishing. I always hope and fish for a "MONSTER" but hey sometimes they don't show. The water's up to 86 degrees already. We were tossing wild shiners from 3 to 8 inches long on 2 and 4 Kahle hooks.

Bustin' bass with some Kentucky boys!

Great morning fishing with these fine folks from Kentucky. 17 fish total on a half day trip. We had a good early start at daybreak, key thing this time of year. Once the bite started after about 45 minutes of nothing the fish kept coming in steady. Rodman has a tendency to turn on and off throughout the day. Caught the sweet spot this morning. The highlight of everyone's day was young Brantly catching his bass bass all on his own, cast, hook set and reeled him in. He also scored a catfish and big toothy gar for a bonus! Kids love teeth.

Special day on Rodman Reservoir with returning customer/friend Paul. We started amazingly as the only boat in sight with 62 degree water, zero wind and flat calm water. The whole area started moving as schools of bait moved in and the bass went off! First fish was an 11 and the second was a 10 that was weighed twice as it looked way bigger. We didn't count the many other fish cuz why after that start.

Rodman Reservoir 12-27 Christmas Bass Fishing

The day started with promise as a 3-4 pounder bit on the very first cast, setting an optimistic tone. However, an hour of quiet fishing followed, causing some concern for the guide. We caught only one fish at each stop, and the phrase "well, that's fishing" echoed. Around 11 o'clock, the day took a turn for the better with an 11-pounder putting on a spectacular show, grabbing a 10-inch shiner mid-air. Wrapping up the day, we had a total of 9 additional catches, including the joyous moment of a young lady's first fish. The water temperature stands at 63.5 degrees, and floating vegetation poses some challenges, contingent on the wind direction. Looking ahead, the fishing outlook is optimistic, improving steadily through winter for the best chance at landing double-digit catches.
