Monday and Tuesday I filmed a Big Red show with my buddy Blair Wiggins, Host of Addictive Fishing (on FOX Sports Network) and Baseball legend, Wade Boggs.
Wade is a really nice guy, down to earth and in general, just one of the guys. Oh, and did I mention he's a great Angler too!
We found schools and schools of Giant Redfish. I mean schools of 60 fish here 100 fish there and 300-500 fish in the middle of nowhere!
This is the time of year the "great migration" begins so, if you want a guaranteed opportunity to catch Giant Redfish, this is the time to go...!
Wendsday, I had Mike and Tim Tucker from Georga and as usual it's a team effort of switching from Spinning to Fly gear like true Tag team Wrestlers.
Mike caught the first Big Red on a big topwater Fly and his brother Tim caught another right behind him on a topwater plug on Spinning gear. We boated 9 Giant Reds from 3 different 3 Schools and even saw a huge school of Sea Trout with what looked like a thousand fish in it. We got 12 or 15 Trout off that school before they quit eating and moved off the flat.
Today, it was offshore catching Kingfish and Tarpon,...and we absolutly spanked them!!! We caught 5 Tarpon from 60 to 130 lbs.in a matter of an hour and a half and 7 Kingfish. I put 2 in the box and we had enough for a fish fry last night.
Friday, I'm off to catch some Pompano in the Indian River with a friend. I'll let you know how it goes...!
How's the fishing been? Well,...this past week has been a blur. Tarpon are in the channel eating Greenies, Giant Redfish making a migration just before breeding season begins, Pompano along the edges the Flats and Snook along the Mangroves and under docks, 50 - 100 Trout days. The fishing is as good as it gets!
Orlando and Orlando jr. "Ham it up" with some Big Reds!
