May 2025 – Freshwater

I appreciate these summer months, as it really puts an emphasis on strategy and techniques to catch fish. When using artificial lures it is imperative to slow down your retrieval. The fish are lethargic, and as long as the lure can be presented at the same pace, it will yield success. For live bait, there are two different tactics we use. First, using about two feet of fluorocarbon directly tied to braid, we keep the bail open and let the bass slowly drag the bait away before setting the hook. Second, just like when we were kids, we use a live or dead bait under a float. This increases our chances of catching a variety of species including long nose gar, bowfin, chain pickerel, and largemouth bass. Come and put this to the test, and we look forward to seeing you on the water soon!

May 2025 – Saltwater

It was wonderful to see all the boats, families, and fishermen on the water! For us, when we were out on the water the fishing was a little tough. We could see schools of redfish that were mixed in with the mullet, as the snook cruised under the mangroves. However, as soon as the bait would hit the water they would get spooked. Simply put, they may have been a little pressured with so many boats on the water. Anyway, we changed it up and started to fish for anything that would bend the rod. Our catches included speckled trout, small jacks, ladyfish, catfish, mangrove snappers, and a few other species. We hope for an even better June, and we look forward to seeing you on the water!
