This Last Week Has Been Great!

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

This last week has been great! Trout and Reds have showed up to play big time. We had Trout limits 3 of 4 days. The 4th day we could have if we would have stopped catching and releasing Reds up to 29″s. To top off those trips, 2 of the 4 days we had our over 20″ limit of Trout. Our best day, we brought 60lbs to the dock, Trout and Reds only.

Offshore has been good for all, Grouper, Snapper(no keep til 6/1), Kings, Cobia.

We continue to hope and pray to be spared oil impact, and today, all the reports indicate we may be spared. I read  today that there are 950 boats and 20,000 people working on the cleanup. Good Luck and God Bless their efforts.

Thanks For Checking In, Pray For Our Coast If You Will.
God Bless and Good Fishing

A Good Half Day In Cedar Key And In A Week It Will Be Great

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

The wind finally stop blowing and we headed out of Cedar Key at about 7:30 am with the water temperature at the dock at 68 degrees, when we crossed the reef it was 70 degrees and out at 45 feet it was 67 degrees.

The gags were biting but then all of a sudden the bite shut down. We didn’t have live bait and I’m positive that would have made a big difference.

We lost a couple nice ones with a free line behind the boat. With a threadfin on a kingfish rig we got hit two times and got 1- 20 plus pounder in the boat.

After that we moved inward since it was a 1/2 day trip, we then stopped in 35 ft to see what was happening, and the grouper were biting, we got one keeper grouper, grunts and sea bass.

We also lost another king there but for a couple hours fishing and traveling it wasn’t bad and in another week the water will be perfect for grouper fishing at 30-45 ft.

Although live bait in shallow water is always the good bet.

Good luck and tight lines

Its Starting to Get Fun

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

The last couple of weeks have been a lot of fun, as well as challenging. Water temps have moved to the upper 60′s and low 70′s.

Cool nights will slow the morning bites. Compared to recent years, we seem to be several weeks behind on the Spring warm up.

The reports of big Trout are numerous, up to 30 inches, and one above. I have included a photo of my biggest Trout taken this year so far, approx 27″long and 6 3/4 pounds. I did not lay her down to measure her. I was trying to get her back in the water as quickly as possible. I already had 3 Trout in the box over 20″s. My Boga gave me her weight and I have found to be accurate.

Redfish have been less than dependable. I think it’s because they are bunched up and moving around. If you find them you’ll have ball. But because they are moving they can be hard to stay in front of. That will change as water temps stabilize and the fish settle into more dependable patterns.

Offshore fishing has been good as well. Grouper, Seabass, Grunts and Sheephead have been available. Also Kings and Spanish. Offshore Captains continue to catch and release alot of Snapper, which are a no take species until June 1.

Come see us,
God Bless and Good Fishing

Offshore of Yankeetown Fishing Report With Good Friends

What Are Friends For? To Go Fishing With!

captain_lance_galmourHey Everyone, Mother Nature has been very nice to us offshore anglers lately, and she has allowed me to roam to some of my deep water haunts.

This trip was with some good friends of mine and their family. Russ did a complete over haul on the motor on my little truck and would not take any money for it, but asked if I would take him and some family members offshore fishing for the day. They had a great time and put a lot of fish in the boat of all verities.

The action was so good through out the day that I didn’t get a chance to snap many photos, but if you look at the pic-nic table………….there’s 10 feet of fillets ! ! !

September is almost upon us and that is when our fall fishing starts to pick up, so get with all of your fishing buddies and family members to get some dates together.

 FOR THE MONTH OF SEPT. THESE ARE THE DATES I CAN FISH — SEPT. 1st through 11th — 19th & 20th — 26th & 27th ! ! !

I have a BFCT fire class that I must attend for my State Job that I will be at during the week ONLY ! ! ! It starts on 9/13 and runs to 10/2, BUT I WILL be available to run on weekends.

 Enjoy the pics and hope to hear from you all soon. Take care.

Cedar Key Fishin Report Saturday 6-12-09

This Off Shore Cedar Key, Florida Fishing Report is From Cedar Key Grouper Guide Captain John

And Captain John Still Caught Fish

Well, NOAA’s report said 10 kt winds and 2 ft seas, and it was 15 to 18 kt winds and 3-5 ft seas, so the trip was made short.

We fished the king fish hole area due to weather, we only fished till 2 pm, using sardines, cut mullet and live pinfish, we caught about 30 shorts and 5 keeper gag groupers, 1 king fish and a lot of sea bass and grunts, not bad for 20 ft of water @ 80 degs temp.

So if you dont have a boat to go offshore or the weather wont let you go, try the kingfish hole area, trolling plugs, bottom fishing and keep a free line out back w/ a whole sardine, thredfin or live bait, while bottom fishing and wait for your king or cobia to take it.
