Fishing Report
| Happy Mothers Day and Some Really Great Trophy Bassin'!!! | 05/12/2013 |
| Happy Mother's Day to all our lady angler fishing buddies!!!!! Well people are always asking me what is the best time of year to catch GIANT bass and my answer is always generally this: ANYTIME here in Florida!! Had some perfect examples of that this week!! On Tuesday I had Bill Edwards and friend in for a super half day and they boated 25 GORGEOUS fish topped by an 11 pound HAWG!!!! Then on Friday I had dynamic duo Emory and Royce in for another super half day, and what do ya know?!?! Royce boated a beautiful 8 lber, and then not to be outdone Emory soon followed with this 11.5 pound BEHEMOTH!!!!! Just goes to show that next cast can be the fish of a lifetime and it can come ANYTIME here and ANY season if you know where to look and when to look there!!!! What an unbelievable BIG fish year we've been blessed to have this year!!!! | |
| GOOD, GOOD, GOOD FISHIN'!!!! | 04/28/2013 |
| Well guys, the GREAT fishing continues!!!! Trips in the last week have generally produced 30-50 fish per trip with a bunch of real giant fish coming over the side!! Take for instance today, I had Mark Barausky and his son Peter from Tampa and their good friend Chris Smith in from St. Augustine in for a super half day, well folks young Peter outdueled the grown ups!!! On his first shiner trip he nailed a 7lb 2oz, and two 8 pounders!!!! The warm weather has got the post-spawn fish really going and the trips are just an absolute blast right now!!! | |
| Giant Fish and Wonderful Spring Action!!!! | 04/19/2013 |
| Hi Everyone!!!! I know it has been so long since I've done a fishing report!! The season has just been crazy busy but I figured I needed to get off my rear and return to getting some fishing reports out to all my fishin' buddies!! Well guys it has been nothing short of an absolutely amazing fishing season with maybe more coming over the side of the boat weighing over 11 lbs than any season I have ever had!! You'll see in the photos in the coming weeks all the GIANT fish we are catching here right now!!! The weather has finally started to stabilize and MAN has that translated into some FANTASTIC Spring fishing!!!! Trips this week have averaged 30-50 fish per day with some real gorgeous fish being taken!! Now that I'm going to get caught up on the fishing reports and photos, I might as well start off with the tale of the biggest fish we caught this season!! On February 18th (as many of you already know) I had return customer Bob Williams from Alloway, NJ out for a morning's fishing. It was the coldest morning of the year at 23 degrees and man did he boat a BEAST!!!! At 8:30 that FOGGY morning Mr. Williams boated a 14lb 1oz bass!!!! We called the FWC and entered her in their TrophyCatch Program. She was the FIRST giant fish that was actually certified by the FWC in the "Hall of Fame" category (13+ lbs) in the entire state of Florida since the program's inception last October!!!!!!! The game commission certified her at 13.88 lbs. (13 lbs 14.08 ozs.) after sitting in my tank for a half day!!! She weighed 14 lbs. 1 oz. on my Boga Grip immediately after we pulled her out of the water, so that's the weight I'm going with!!!! LOL The fish was immediately worth over $1000 in prizes and goods and as of the day of this fishing report is still the biggest one certified in the state this year and if we can make it another 11 days will capture the largest certified fish in the state in The TrophyCatch program contest and could win Mr. Williams quite a bit more significant prizes!!!! I am including in photo section a pic some of you have already seen of her and a few NOBODY has seen until now!!!! of myself holding her!!!! You can also go to these links: http://bit.ly/YT-HOF1 and also http://bit.ly/TC-video-update to actually see some cool and live action of us and the fish!!!! As well as read an article our local paper did on her here at: www.ocala.com/article/20130228/SPORTS/130229688/1026 I Think you guys will get quite a kick out of it!!!! Also the fishing is nothing short of awesome right now and for anyone looking to get in on this historic season I have April 25th, 26th and 30th as well as several days in early May open!!!! So let me know if you want to come and try your hand at one of these behemoths and then I can also fill you in on a TRULY GIANT fish I saw that I think may have literally eclipsed every Largemouth Bass record and I mean EVERY ONE!!!! Thanks guys and let me know!!!! | |
