Alexandra Juneau (13) and Capt. Chris Robinson on 11/26/08
Tommy & I are leaving on a dive vacation in about 45 minutes - so what am I doing? Sending out a fishing report of course. By the way, the young lady in the photo with Chris has been fishing with her parents Les & Nancy and our guide service for quite a few years. This redfish was one of many she & mom caught with their favorite captain that day - they fished until they couldn't catch anymore.
So, while I'm out of the country, Chris will be handling any Flats fishing business and Capt. Jr. will be in charge of Bay fishing. If you need me I'll be checking emails once a day from the Tiki Bar at Buddy Dive Resort in Bonaire. And yes, there is some really good fishing now whenever the weather cooperates.
If you are fortunate enough to live on or about The Forgotten Coast , you are certainly aware of all the unlimited possibilities in the outdoors here. We literally step outside our door to one of the most pristine estuaries in the country which provides us with an abundance of sea life and a livelihood many wouldn't trade. This nursery is where many if not most of the fish that swim in the entire Gulf of Mexico either get their start or spend a portion of their lives. It also produces some awesome Oysters! Sit down with just about anyone wearing camoflage and just a few words will get them started on our local hunting opportunities including deer, hogs, ducks, squirrels, etc. It would take a lifetime to learn all of the public land in the area, many hunters here are doing just that.
For the rest of this month and next month, between all the hunting and diving activities (did I mention the excellent diving we have access to in 60 to 100 feet of water right here?) our guides will not only be taking people fishing for redfish and specks on mild sunny days but also they will be hooking up on some sometimes quite large striped and hybrid bass. For do- it- yourselfers there's lots of black bass, bream and shell crackers in this here river system - we just don't have any freshwater guides that specialize in them.
February will mark the return of spanish mackeral to the area and the departure of Tommy & Chris to the Keys and in March the eagerly awaited Pompano start showing up about mid month.
Make it a great start to the coming new year and take yourself fishing!
Note - Tommy & Chris have some Keys dates open and am working on next summers schedule too.
If we don't talk before the holidays, have a Merry Christmas and a safe & Happy New Year!
