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 […]

The long anticipated post-spawn bite is finally happening. This years pre-spawn bite was one for the books. Record numbers of huge Largemouths from November to the first part of March made waiting for the spawn to conclude that much harder. Recently we’ve seen the numbers and size of the Bass […]

Once again the stars all lined up and we got back out to the Gulf of Mexico. I can’t remember a windier winter/spring season ever. Although last Wednesday, 4/7, was one of the worst days this month to fish (tide wise), the weather was cooperating, so we headed out to […]

This years first pre-spawn bite that we have been taking advantage of has started tapering off. From early December of “09, until late February “10, we experience some of the best Bass fishing on the Ocklawaha River that I can recall. Although the bite has recently slowed, we are still […]

By now everyone’s heard about the huge “fish kill” the recent record cold weather has left us with. Although the short term saltwater forecast for our region looks pretty grim, I have no doubt that in the future fishing in the Gulf of Mexico will be as good as it […]

Hey fellow Alaskans, well that’s what it’s felt like to me. I have never run out of firewood, but I might this winter. I took one of my special customers fishing last week. And when the catching is really slow, he enjoys exploring like I do. It is the kind […]

Although the prolonged cold weather has put a damper on much of the fresh and salt waterfishing in our region, the Ocklawaha River continues to produce trophy sized Largemouths. On Thursday, Feb. 11, Mr. Lucas “Luke” Kemnitz (12), put on a fishing clinic for his father (Chad) and his grandfather (Terry). […]
