The really large Pompano (3-6 lbs) have been showing in ever increasing numbers. And yes, we are sight fishing them too. They are a real blast. Kind of like fishing for small Permit.

October will be our last chance to sight fish until spring of next year. We still have a few days in October available. Give us a call. See you at the dock!

I still have a few openings the third week of July and the first two weeks of August. Hope you get to join us for the season.

By April 1 the flood gates should be wide open. Watching a large school of Pompano scurrying about and feeding on sand fleas in the shallow surf along the beach on a bright sunshiny day is a wonderful way to start the season. Sighting that first Brown Bomber (Cobia) riding the blue green waves heading in your direction, is as exciting as it gets. And let's not forget casting to a large Redfish or Trout cruising along the sand ribbons of St Joe Bay, as you actually get to watch the fish swallow the bait. Yes, the water is actually that clear. This is springtime fishing here along the Forgotten Coast.

Hope to see you at the dock soon!

It is always exciting in the spring when we use our new tower boat to spot the new arrivals. Watching the Cobia surf the waves or the Pompano scurrying about feeding on sand fleas is a beautiful sight.

The Trout and Redfish will begin to inhabit the shallow water sand ribbons once again. Wading and sight casting to these guys is as good as it gets. The water is so clear you can generally see the fish inhale the bait. Now that's what I'm talking about.

The Tarpon are still about 90 days away. We tend to see a few early arrivals each year beginning in late April. It's just a tease for the main season. It is however almost more than a mortal man can take.

Hope you get to join us this year. If you are looking at Tarpon fishing with us, make your reservation early. July (Tarpon peak season) is filling up quick.

See you at the dock!

My thanks to all of you who helped to make this season my best charter season ever. I look forward to spending a day on the water with you next year. Hope some of you can make it down for the fall season. Thanks again! See you at the dock!

We should see at least one last big push of migratory Tarpon before the peak season begins to wind down. I will update soon.

As a good friend of mine once said "You have too much patience and absolutely no tolerance". Oh well. One out two is'nt bad. I think I'm going to talk to God about these Tarpon. Surely he has some influence with these over grown sardines. See you at the dock!

This week was a mixed bag but had some great fishing. We caught Trout,Triple Tail, Redfish, Flouder and Cobia. The flats fishing has really picked up. Some of the Trout were hogs. The reds were mostly 22"-29".

If you are looking for a Tarpon trip, "Hang in There"! They will be showing up any day now. Give us a call to reserve a date. See you at the dock!

The Redfish, Trout and Triple Tail all seem to be very eager to eat a well place bait. St Joe Bay is full of Pilchards (preferred live bait for Redfish & Trout). Given the vast supply of bait, the flats fishing should continue to get better and better. We are seeing some good numbers of Triple Tail. Toss them a live shrimp, they will become your best friend. Some Pompano are still being caught. They are still some real monster Pompano hanging out also.

My next report will be around the end of next week. I hope to have some Tarpon stories to tell by then. Hope all of you have a safe and fun Memorial Day weekend.

Captian Keith Grimes
