TopWater Redfishing (8/04/2008)
[Homosassa,FL] What makes inshore light tackle fishing so special? Is it the variety of species an angler can pursue? Is it the awesome scenery? Is it the anticipation of the one-on-one battle that every angler looks forward to? In my opinion what makes inshore light tackle fishing so awesome is the combination of all of the above mentioned factors plus every once in a while a little spice can be thrown in for an added bonus.

Red Hot Temps = Awesome Redfishing (6/29/2008)
[Homosassa,FL] Lately, my clients and I have been leaving the "world famous" dock of Pete�s Pier Marina around 6:00-6:30 a.m. in the morning. These early departures have been great for beating the heat and the late afternoon storms that pop up from time-to-time along our coast. With such early departures throwing Topwater lures for healthy Gator Trout and Redfish has been an excellent way to start our mornings.

Big Drum Week!!! (6/06/2008)
[Homosassa,FL] The Crystal River and Homosassa area is world famous for its inshore shallow water fishing for Redfish. However, many people don’t realize just how good our Black Drum fishing is also. Both kinds of Drum are world famous for their size and fighting styles and they both can be targeted together because they inhabit most of the same local backcountry creeks, coves and oysterbeds.

The Time for a Slam is Now!!! (5/27/2008)
[Homosassa,FL] If you’re interested in pursuing a Nature Coast Slam there is no better time than right now. With water temps hovering around the upper 70’s into the low 80’s, a majority of migratory and native fish species are here along the Nature Coast and feeding regularly.

Sight casting time of Year (5/05/2008)
[Homosassa,FL] April and May are two of my favorite months of the year to fish (besides the other 10). With hardly any rain and almost perfect weather days it’s no wonder why people come from all over the world to fish the famous flats of Crystal River and Homosassa area in search of many of the most challenging inshore species on the planet.

First Inshore Slam of 2008!!! (4/09/2008)
[Homosassa,FL] The highlight of my charters in recent weeks has been an inshore slam that Dave Preston and I performed using nothing but artificial lures provided by Pure Fishing Inc.

AWESOME REDFISHING!!!!!! (2/22/2008)
[Homosassa,FL] Our local temperatures have been hovering in the mid-to-upper 70’s and we have been blessed with summer like temperatures minus the humidity and rain. These warm late day temps have helped keep the water temperatures around 65-66 degrees which has helped keep most local inshore species active and hungry

Redfish and Trout bite finally catching up with the New Year!!!! (1/30/2008)
[Homosassa,FL] Finally, the Redfish and SeaTrout bite has come into full swing this New Year along the Nature Coast. It only took 4 weeks, but most of the Reds and Trout in the area have finally found their winter hideouts. In recent weeks both the Red and Trout populations have been on the move in search of more consistent water temperatures and an abundant source of food.

Gulf temps still mild, but shallow water Grouper fishing is anything but. (1/12/2008)
[Homosassa,FL] As the temperatures of January begin to plummet most of the Gulf Coast species should already be holding in their annual winter hideouts. But with temperatures still so mild myself and other guides in the area are still fishing for redfish, seatrout, grouper, shark, mackerel, and pompano in areas where we normally fish during the heart of the summer.

Beautiful Weather leads to great fishing along the Nature Coast. (9/30/2007)
[Homosassa,FL] Fishing along the Nature Coast has been extremely successful for Redfish and Trout along the Nature Coast. With light winds and clear skies sight casting to hungry fish has been the method of choice.
