This pic is of a 20lb class red that Ann Cherrette caught with Capt. Chris in December
In the last week or so I've had at least 3 people ask me what I do this time of year, since there's not any fishing here now. ??? Oh misinformed ones, let me explain to you how it's not all about cleaning closets & emptying the recycling bin in the winter time, although that's been done. This is the time of year when we're nagging people to get their deposits in or lose their days this summer, plus there's always the IRS to keep happy. And I'm happy to report that less than a week ago Capt. Nathan Donahoe caught 10 redfish over 20 lbs (like the one above) and 5 keeper sized Reds. IS there fishing this time of year? Oh, Heck Yeah!! Some days are warmer than others and some fish like it cold - like stripers, but you actually CAN have a successful day of fishing here in the winter time. Believe it or not!
In just a few weeks, Spring Breakers will be heading our way and fishing from our boats and our beaches for trout & spanish mackerel and many other species of inshore fish. Just a heads up to those of you who are planning to be here for your spring break to make sure to reserve your favorite Captain before someone else gets to them. If you can't remember their name, check out our Captains Bios on the Guide Service website. Or you can call me or Valerie - we can hook you up!
Tommy & Chris leave for the Keys around the first weekend in February to start fishing there for permit, bonefish, barracudas & maybe even some tarpon. If you're thinking about heading to even warmer climes in March or early April, they do still have some trips available.
Would you believe that the Keys real estate market is seemingly on fire right now? Things are a shakin there these days, at least from my Apalachicola point of view. You can access both the Franklin/Gulf County MLS listings as well as the Key West/Lower Keys MLS listings from our "sister" website www.robinsonrealestatecompany.com or contact Joan Kelley in the Keys or myself in NW FL.
Hope to see you soon!
Happy (what's the next holiday? Oh, yeah!) Groundhog Day!
