My 4 Hour Nearshore bottom-fishing trips are producing keeper Sea Bass. I expect the Atlantic Bonito and Gray Trout to show up at the nearshore reefs any day now. And my inshore trips are producing slot-sized reds and we caught our first flounder of the year today (4/1/26). So, Spring has sprung!

We competed in Georgetown SC and brought home a 2nd place finish and last week I did a seminar for Salt Strong. Here at home the fish are ganged up and waiting for you to come on out and catch them. My young men on the boat yesterday landed 15 or so. Our fish are coming on MirrOlure topwater plugs, Saltwater Assassin plastics fished under 4Horsemen popping corks, Saltwater Assassin plastics fished weedless with Pro-Cure Bait Scents and the trusty old gold spoon. I have days available this week and the rest of March.

It's been a pretty brutal winter this year weather wise. The redfish bite has been strong and my crew landed 19 this morning. Going into the snow event we had a couple 50+ redfish days. Those weather events moved the fish around a little bit they are getting back to their normal routines and haunts for wintertime. We are sightfishing large schools and catching them on a variety of Saltwater Assassin plastics fished with Pro-Cure Bait Scents.
