Reported: 3 months ago

Fishing has been tough on the weekends due to excessive Fishing pressure. However, the fish are biting in the out of the way spots. Finding clear-ish water, baitfish and current is the key.

A lot of bigger trout wading have been showing up in East Bay. Along with some bigger schools of reds out on the flats making for easy sight casting. Spring fish is right around the corner and by the looks of it it's going to be a great season.

All has been greatWe've been busy fishing the past few weeks. Here's a few photos from the past month's trips. Fishing has been great in the marsh and bayou using popping corks with live shrimp and soft plastics.

Birds are working with some nice speckled trout being caught using live shrimp or plastic, water temp holding in the uper 80's, and morning tides are extremely high so fishing on top of reefs and structures.

What's Biting in West Columbia

First time fishing with Captain Jay and what a great trip! Probably the most fish I have ever caught on a single trip. He was extremely knowledgeable and a blast to fish with. Fished under birds and caught back to back Trout all morning that were just undersized. Jay knew we wanted keepers so we kept fishing till we got on a sand Trout honey hole. Captain Jay was kind enough to extend our trip so we could keep filling the ice chest. Thank you Cap! Look forward to our next trip with you.

Absolutely 5 stars!! If I could rate it 10 stars… I WOULD. Man did we get lucky, paid for the nearshore 8 hours and Captain Rodney was nice enough to have his offshore boat come pick us up 20 miles offshore to take us deep sea fishing because we wanted to catch red snappers. Captain Jeb and James were the best of the best in what they do as well! All around amazing trip! Definitely coming back to get that Amberjack trip!

Trip: A Nearshore Party In Paradise

Capt Rodney was wonderful. At the beginning of trip he asked what we were looking for during this fishing trip. We said we wanted some good fish. After getting our Red Snapper limit very quickly we had a lot of time left so he asked if we wanted to fill ice chest or try for some other game fish. We wanted to try for better game fish. We headed further out in search of fish. He spotted some floating grass so we trolled for some Mahi. Got one and missed one. We then headed out again. We then stopped and rigged up trying to find some tuna. On first pass we hooked up on a Wahoo for a good fight and catch. We continued to troll hooking up on more Wahoo and BkackFin Tuna. We finished up and headed back in due to storms in our area. All in all it was a great trip, not only because of the catches we made but because of Captain Rodney. He took the time to make this “our trip” and a trip we would remember. Captain Rodney was a wonderful Captain and Host. We will be back to see him. Thanks Captain Rodney.
