Captain Gasper

Just got in from a quick half day trip, bottom fishing. Was a nice change compared to fishing the White Marlin Open last week. We caught more vermilions then we knew what to do with, a few dozen sea bass, two small gag groupers, a couple porgies and triggerfish, and the typical amberjacks. great day to be on the water.

Trout………Finally

Friday, August 27th, 2010

How sweet it is to be able, once again, to leave at first light, no regard to tide, find some clear water, and whack the trout on Trout Tricks, something I haven’t been able to do since the cold spell (cormorant feasting). Raddaddy hipped me to the trout being back (somewhat), so my Long Island clients and I targeted them today. The key was creating …

Largemouth

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

Yesterday, which was the full moon, I decided to catch some largemouth bass for Frannie’s and my dinner. Conditions could not have been worse. The Salkehatchie River, which is about 1/3rd of a mile from the house, is high and dingy, from the rains, the day of the full moon is not a good time, and the middle of the day in …

Rain Wrecking Your Fishing?

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

The “frog strangling” rains we’ve been having (global warming?) can make inshore fishing difficult. A heavy rain during low tide can really muddy up the water, and the fresh water pouring into the creeks and rivers can shut off the bite. Do we just stay home? Absolutely not! While these conditions do limit the areas we can fish, looking for those …

Friday, June 25th, 2010

Between the farm, real estate (yes I actually had a closing), and running charters, I haven’t taken the time to post. We’ve been fishing almost every day, and while the bite hasn’t been gangbusters, I haven’t cut any charters short, something I offer. when I feel the bite is way off. We’ve been bass fishing for redfish. By this I mean we’re “running and gunning” …

Dock Talk on Edisto Island

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

With her five to nine foot tidal rise and fall every six hours, Edisto fishing can be daunting, to say the least. One of the easiest ways to get started and find fish is to throw topwater plugs on outside bends of creeks and rivers that have oysters. Rebel Pop-R’s on spinning gear and Rapala Skidderwalks or Heddon Super …

Edisto Inshore Charters Crankbait Redfish

Monday, April 26th, 2010

On the south side of Edisto Is, the water is usually dingy, at best. While looking for redfish visually is one of most effective methods to find them, it is not as easy to do here, as it is in other areas. One of my favorite, and most effective methods, is covering a lot of water with a shallow running crankbait, like a Mann’s Baby …
