Read MoreBeautiful day in West Bay-November 19, 2009
Well, getting caught up on trips after all of last week’s cancellations because of TS Ida. Guided Mr. John Prudhomme of Pensacola over in West Bay, P.C. this morning. Great conditions this morning! Light wind, negative tide and sunlight. Found plenty of uncooperative fish in a few areas. Not many tailing fish but lots of cruisers and sitters which made things a little difficult. We both made many fantastic casts that were ignored and eventually concentrated on picking off fish that were facing away from the boat. These are typically the “catchable” fish. As always, seeing the fish from long distance and long, accurate casts made the difference. Must have seen 200-300 fish in packs of 2-20 fish. A few tailing redfish here and there but not many. Ended up sticking some very nice quality fish including John’s 7+lb. 27″ fish and a nice 6# 26″ fish. A little over 13lbs, not too bad! Sightfished with Gulp! 5″ Jerkshads in camo rigged with 4/0 Owner Twist-Lock weedless hooks. All fish...
Read MoreOffshore on Sunday!-November 15, 2009
Well, before I got back to Redfish U. trips this week, I thought a little offshore bottom fishing would be fun. Clay Peacher, Randy Hamilton, Tracy and myself heading south on Sunday morning. Caught a bunch of everything. Some species we could keep, some we couldn’t. Ended up with some nice grouper, a dolphin, lots of snapper(kept some mingos and lanes), amberjack, kings, etc. Also got a 17lb red snapper and some other 7-9#ers which were properly released. Had a really fun day and Tracy caught the most quality fish. Still hearing about it this morning! Please click on an image to...
Read MoreFun fishing with Bobby Quarles-November 13, 2009
Took a short spin around the bay this afternoon with friend, Capt. Bob Quarles. Bob is a fellow Maverick Boats guide and one of my favorite anglers to fish with. Found a big school of bull redfish and got to work. Hooked four fish on four rods including a sweet topwater strike right next to the boat. I also wanted to test my new favorite redfish combo, the Penn Conquerer 4000 and the Allstar ASR Redfish rod. Hooked a 25# redfish on this combo and really put some major pressure on the rod and reel. It came through like a champ and I actually tried to break the rod with the fish near the boat but actually broke the braid. Very, very tough set up!! Anyway, achieved my goal of pulling on some heavy fish, getting some sun on my face and watching the Blue Angels. Fun afternoon. Several trips schedule in the coming weeks and the fishing should be excellent. See everyone soon. Eric Holstman Please click an image to...
Read MoreYamaha Friends in for some fishing!-November 6, 2009
Guided Tim Haney, Yamaha saltwater promotions coordinator, and Adam this morning. Our first choice was to rocket out to the beaches and do some sightfishing for pompano and redfish and then go stick some over-sized redfish nearshore and inshore. The 15-20mph winds from the east scratched that out for us but that is our plan tomorrow. We decided to trailer up to Blackwater and do some shallow water fishing for redfish and trout. Thankfully, it was much better up there than yesterday. We had lots of action with medium-sized redfish and some very nice trout, including a 3# fish. All fish caught on Gulp! 5″ Jerkshads in camo rigged with Marsh Works 1/4oz. Bull Red jigheads in assorted colors with worm rattle inserts. All fish released. Looking forward to seeing and sticking some pompano tomorrow and pulling on some big, dumb redfish!! Please click a photo to...
