Jersey Boys

Northerners have recently become all too aware that they may be in for a nasty winter seaon. Here it is mid-October and many areas have already seen some snow and cold temps. Their fishing season has rapidly come to its end. Well, here in Florida our season is just about to get underway for real. The weather has remained unseasonably warm with water temps still in the mid-eighties and daytime highs still reaching 90. It seems that this is about to change as the occasional cool front has reached us and personally, I can't wait for it to remain just a bit cooler. When the water temps get just a bit cooler we will be set for the fish to actively start to eat in earnest in preparation for another spawning season. I'm ready and there are some nice fish being caught of late that will be ready as well. The overall catch numbers aren't quite what I would like but the quality of catch lately has been superb. Many fish over five lbs. being caught on a regular basis.





Last week two friends from NJ decided that a road trip was in order so they loaded up the truck and headed down I-95 for a Florida fishing vacation. Driving through the night, these two traveled 18 hours to meet me for a day on the Stick Marsh. It was hot out there, 90+, but anything was better than the 35 and rainy weather they abandoned in Jersey. Jason, Anthony, and I spent all day long fishing hard with both artificial baits and some wild shiners and were rewarded with some very nice Largemouth bass as well as a few other species including a very nice blue catfish that went close to 10 lbs.





The Stick Marsh was the first stop for these two as they continued further south towards the Keys for a little salt water action as well. I hope they had as good a time down there as they did with me. You too can have a great time fishing in Florida this winter. All you have to do is contact us and we will get you set up to forget the miserable weather and enjoy some time in the sun. Please keep in mind that specific dates are best booked in advance to ensure availability. Who knows you may even get to handle the biggest bass of your life just like Jason and Anthony did. By the way we are only about an hour from the Orlando Int’l Airport and Jason says next time he is flying!
