March 17, 2008 – Cobia Mania
It happens along the east central Florida shoreline for a few weeks in early spring and again, albeit to a lesser degree, in late fall. It is the cobia migration. And this much anticipated event triggers cobia mania which is a highly contagious condition common among many of the serious greater Orlando anglers. Now cobia […]
March 8, 2008 – In Like a Lion
Some wise wag once wrote that March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. Obviously, after just one week, it is too early to give absolute credence to that ancient soothsayer, however, over the past week, we had roar through the greater Orlando area tornados, gale force winds, driving rain and […]
Feb. 29, 2008 – One Wild and Wacky Week
The ink is drying on the final week of February and it must be recorded as one of the wildest and wackiest in recent memory. For instance, during this week, the temperature ranged from record highs to record lows with a 50 degree swing in a single day. The winds hit all points of the […]
February 23, 2008 – Rockets and Red Tears
The City of Orlando is renowned for her world attractions such as Disney World and Sea World. However, Titusville, a small community less than an hour to the east of the Orlando, is home to two attractions that are literally out of this world – the Kennedy Space Center and phenomenal redfishing. For the past […]
Feb. 3, 2008 – Queen Carp and Her Court
The weather and fishing have been glorious the past few days although it is getting to be a little crowded on the water. Yesterday, fishing out of Titusville (40 miles east of Orlando) we caught nine reds to 39 inches and one trout but faced stiff competition for the fish. After poling in from 300 […]
January 26, 2008 – Was It All A Dream
Was it all a dream or did this actually take place? Even as an experienced profession fishing guide, I am still shaking my head and asking this question after two unbelievable and unforgettable days this past week. Tom Ress from Athens AL and his long-time friend, Ed from Lexington, KY, decided to take a couple […]
January 14, 2008 – No Place Like Home
There is no place like home. There is no place like home. There is no place like home – especially for a fishing guide living along the central east coast of Florida. After spending a week and a half in the frozen tundra of northern Alabama, it sure was good to return home to the […]
December 31, 2007 – Winter Wonderland
We do not experience what many would picture as a winter wonderland along the central east coast of Florida (near Orlando) from late December through early February. There is not even a remote chance of snow, sleet or blizzard. However, even though we do have our share of cooler temperatures, gray skies and windy days, […]
December 22, 2007 – Camera Hogs
Typically the two weeks prior to Christmas in central east Florida (near Orlando) are not the hottest of the year – either in terms of angling action or in terms of picture postcard weather. However, this year it has been anything but typical as we have been doubly blessed with an extension of the meteorological […]
December 15, 2007 – Christmas Arrived Early
Christmas arrived early for a handful of very fortunate anglers this week. Not only are we continuing to enjoy exceptionally fine weather – a White Christmas would only be in our dreams – but the fishing continues to be excellent as well. Mike Nix of Monett, Missouri must have been very good this past year, […]
