Redfish University is back in action after a few days off. Guided Mr. Roger Orth this morning. Hit Santa Rosa Sound early this morning for some topwater action for redfish and trout. Pretty slow this morning with a few trout in the boat and some redfish blowups. Roger scored a 27 3/4″ stout redfish on a topwater before we took off for Pensacola Bay. Put in at Garcon Point and fished Berkley Gulp! Jerkshads in search of redfish and trout. Again, found a few decent trout but nothing great. Travelled to a proven redfish spot and found what we were looking for. Stuck several redfish in the 26 3/4-34″ range with a few finding structure before we could turn them.  Only found one fish to measure and keep but fun nonetheless. All fish released except for a few trout and a 27″ redfish for dinner.

Took some time off the get ready for my home remodel and some time off the water and out of the sun. Back to work. Guided Mr. Homer Berry this morning. Homer wanted to learn about our inshore fishery here in Pensacola and take home lots of fish for a cookout back in Missouri. Started out at 500am in the rain with some superb topwater action. Cloud-cover all day made topwaters an easy choice and the fish pounded surface baits until 1230pm. Landed many redfish and speckled trout all day and Homer left Pensacola with a full cooler of fresh fish.
