Paxton Juneau & his Dad Les fished with Capt. Nate
May 3rd was one for the record books. The anglers that were lucky enough to be on Capt. Tommy Holland's bayfishing boat caught and released upwards of 150 Redfish, One of them had 26 spots on one side. Les Juneau of Atlanta fished from Capt. Nathan Donahoe's flats boat and experienced much the same thing. And, as most things happen and fish can swim, they were nowhere near the same place the next day. That's why we call it fishing!

Before I report on what to expect fishing-wise for the next month or so, I just have to tell you how thrilled I am to tell anyone who will listen that I'm no longer going it alone here in my little office in downtown Apalachicola -- we've hired an assistant! Nikki Cash started working with Robinson Brothers Guide Service the middle of April and we couldn't be more thrilled. Her pleasant voice will be the one answering the phone when you call and answering many of your emails as well. Nikki is also Capt. Chris Robinson's sister-in-law, as she is his wife Jennifer's sister. Besides that her dad Walter Armistead married Tommy & me. Yes, Apalachicola IS a very small town, and if you're in town, stop by and say hi!

So, back to June fishing. Let me put it this way -- as long as you know which end of the fishing rod to hold, you are probably going to catch fish. Literally everything that swims in the northern Gulf of Mexico will be fair game, including (finally) Red Snapper. Snapper season will be short this year running June 1-Aug 14 so book your trips now! Inshore fishermen, whether you sight fish with a fly rod, or blind cast with bait, it's all good, all month long. If you're planning your summer vacation on St. George Island or Cape San Blas or anywhere from Alligator Point to Mexico Beach, think about taking a guided fishing trip while you're here -- it's an adventure!

Just a little bit of housekeeping - we had to buy a new computer and not all of our email addresses got transferred to our Outlook address book, although they are stored in our GoDaddy database. We'd love to have you reply to this email if you feel like it just to update our records. And if you would rather not receive our fishing reports, well that's ok too, just let us know.
Capt. Jr. Holland has lowered the price on his 1 acre Pond front lot in Eastpoint and the Abbey Home in Apalachicola's Historic South Side is still available and priced right. Just click on the website below to check them out.
Hope you're having a fantastic weekend and your week ahead is a sunny one!
