Windy and Chilly

The last few days have been very windy and chilly. We have spent most of our time in the creeks trying to stay out of the wind. We have had lots of action, everything from Mangrove snappers to 50-pound Tarpon. We have had a group from UBS visiting and they have kept us busy!

Back in ther Keys

Well I am happy to tell you I am back in the fabulous Florida Keys! Had a blast coming down with my daughter Jessica. We met up with my son Joshua in Raleigh, North Carolina and took in the Florida State at North Carolina State football game. A good time was had by all!!

I am back on the job now and getting back into the groove. I fished yesterday with Meg Blair. It was a rainy day so we stayed close to the Club. We had a lot of action and Megs dog Buster had a ball chasing fish, as they came aboard. I have two trips tomorrow.

Fall Update

I am setting here at my desk looking out at the beautiful fall color wondering where the summer went. It is all just a blur, seems like I just returned from the Keys yesterday!

I guess it is time to touch base with you all and let you know what my plans are for this fall. I will be up and running at Ocean Reef on November 1st as usual. I will be there until December 9th when I will return to Michigan for Christmas. The 28th of December I will be back on the boat and ready to catch some bonefish!

If you are interested in making some fishing plans you can email me at guilttrip25@hotmail.com or call me at 989-390-9135. You can also call Orvis Ocean Reef at 305-367-5920 and they can book a trip. I look forward to fishing with you soon.

Beautiful Weather

Last summer never happened and that makes the beautiful weather we are having now so sweet! Cool nights and 80-degree days just can't be beat!

Fishing is still in a typical summer pattern. We are having Tricos in the morning along with Olives. The rest of the day we plug along with Ants and Hoppers. We have been catching lot's of fish just nothing large most are beautiful Brookies!

Summer Action

The morning rise has been good with Trico"s and Olives and midday I have been using small black Ants. We have been catching nothing large, but getting lots of action!

I also have been doing a lot of work on our house. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Fly rods are more fun in my hand than hammers!!!

Back In Action

It has been a while since I have left a new post, but I have been covered up with customers and family. It was a wild Fourth Of July for me with both sets of grandchildren and lots of customers! I had a blast swimming , fishing and just plain having fun with my grandchildren and made some money to boot.

On the fishing scene their have been Trico's and Olives in the morning and Terrestrials during the day. Lots of small fish action.

Lots Of Action

I fished last evening with Cam Jones and his father. We fished the Holy Water stretch of the AuSable. We got started around 5 and fished until 10:30. We had lots of action using a Patriot fly. The the fish were all small in the 8 to 10-inch range. It was a lot of action a a beautiful evening to be on the AuSable. Life is Good!
