Tip my hat to my relief Captain, James Love, for filling in earlier today. I ran a charity fund raising charter first thing this morning and he ran a charter mid morning. He fished hard and finally found them while limiting out on red drum. He excitedly relayed the location to me and said he left them biting. Nearly an hour later, i ran my afternoon charter with Joseph and his crew. First stop, right where he said.?. My crew limited out within the first 90 minutes! We kept the handles turning and drags burning as we culled out the smaller ones. All in all, it was a solid day for everyone! Teamwork makes the dream work! **hidden content** **hidden content**

Hard fought battle with a tasty morsel!

It had been tough finding the fish for over a week due to weather and continued influx of fresh water. This day was no exception. But, everybody remained optimistic and we found the fish. We almost limited out on red fish, but a couple missed bites and broke lines kept us from doing so. All in all, it was a big time. And they were grateful just to be together sharing the experience. Blessed!

Got on a school trout and reds feeding on bait. Bite was hot! I made a cast with a popping cork and got hammered before i could get the back in her hands. Fish was swimming fast towards the boat. Had to quickly take up the slack and ensure hook set was proper. Afterwards, i handed Diana her rod back and she replied in a nice 13# redfish. Her husband thanked me and said that was her biggest fish ever! Awesome!!

Covered a good bit of water this afternoon hoping to find slot sized fish or bigger. Caught fish at every location (reds, speckled trout, sand perch). Number of catches was pleasing and spirits were great! A.J., the youngest, had a 20” plus speckled trout near the boat but hook pulled as I was going for the net! Though it didn’t work this time, there’s a fire for their outing!

Took my wife out. With water conditions like they were, i figured we’d tangle with some redfish as we fished a cove with some bait fish tucked away. To my surprise, she caught a limit of speckled trout!
