EARLY MORNING REDFISH

5-31-2012--No charter today but I needed fish tonight to feed visitors attending my Grandson's graduation.  I invited a friend to go for redfish.  We left the dock at 6 AM and had three reds by 6:30.   Our 6th red came at 7:30 and we started for home.      

BABES ON THE BAY

                                    TEAM SPICE GILLS - Speckled Spice, Old Spice, Red Hot Spice and Princess Spice

The official results are in for the 2012, 13th Annual Babes on the Bay Tournament.  1301 ladies fished in the tournament this year.  It's the largest, one day, unrestricted tournament in the U.S.  Our team, the Spice Gills, did really well.  Results were judged on heaviest stringer and the Spice Gills were in 10th place in their division - Guided, any bait.  Out of the total 1301 ladies in all 4 divisions, only 18 teams had heavier stringers.  Way to go!!   I've seen lots of improvement in fishing skills over the last 4 years - Princess will even touch a fish now.

STORMY WEATHER TROUT

5-10-2012--Started today on a windward shoreline where we found trout yesterday.  We caught six trout before the wind got up so much we had to leave.  We moved to the lee side of San Jose island and on our second anchor hit the jackpot.   Ended the day with 34 trout up to 4 pounds with several in the 3 pound range plus 2 redfish.  Picture is of the head of  what would have been our biggest trout, had the bottle-nose dolphin not gotten to it on the way in..
