2-20-2011--Fishing has been good most of the winter but only a few of us got to enjoy it because it seems most prospective customers were busy with hunting, football, holidays, etc. That's past now and the weather is beautiful so the calls are coming in. I've had 5 requests to fish in just the last 2 days. If you want to pick your days to fish with a guide during spring break or the summer it would be prudent to call now because most guides are booking up.
Today I took another guide with me and we waded with artifical lures. I needed to keep some fish for an upcomming fish fry but at noon we had nothing in the box. We moved to a shoreline reef and got 5 nice trout before the bite slowed. Next we moved to a back lake drain with moving water. There the fish really turned on. We kept 17 trout up to 23 and 1/2 inches and 4 flounder. We lost 3 flounder at our hands that appeared to be in the 20 inch range. The hands down bait of choice was Gulp jerk shad in fire tiger.
Last Friday I had a newlywed couple on their honeymoon. That's what I call getting started off right. We used live shrimp. They caught a good box of fish to take back to Michigan including trout, black drum, redfish and giant sheepshead.
I've sold my boat but get to keep it until the new 24' Haynie Cat boat arrives in late March. The new boat is very much just like the one I sold but I just like having new stuff.
