The fishing was pretty good. We had several hook-ups with redfish and trout. Most were caught on Exude RT Slugs. I don't know if the fish were short striking or what but we only landed about 1/3 of the fish we hooked. I think the total for fish landed for the day was 8 reds and 3 trout.
When will this wind quit blowing? I've already had to cancel 4 charters this month due to marine warnings. That's not good for the old wallet.
I have had a little good new this month though. For starters, apparently I have fallen into the web building business on a part time basis. I was contracted for two sites this month. Both of which are nearly complete. You can check out my "web building site" at www.captainclaywebdesign.com
Also, Capt. Greg McCullough and I have decided on a production studio to shoot, edit, and produce our upcoming fishing show. Multivision Media will be shooting our pilot for "Backwater, Beaches, and Bays" sometime before the middle of March. The show will air nationally on The Sportsman Channel and possibly locally on Brighthouse 47.

The Wind is Blowing and I don't Care
A friend and fellow guide called me tonight and said that he has to get out of the house tomorrow. The wind and rain has kept both of us at home the last couple of days and we're both tired of it. We're heading out tomorrow despite the less than stellar weather forecast. Fishing report to follow.

Playing Catch Up
I've kind of been neglecting the blog for the last month or so. I was very busy in December with charters due to our unusually warm weather and that kept me busy writing fishing reports. Also, I stayed home instead of going on Christmas vacation so I could squeeze in the clients that wanted to fish around the holidays. Anyway, this week the wind has really decided to blow and that's led to a slow week for me so I thought I would catch up here on the blog.
The redfish bite right now has been great. Recently we've seen the average size of the fish increase to where it's not been unusual to get a fish to the boat over 30" long. Trout fishing has either been phenomenal or terrible. It seems that the few days following a cold front makes them bunch up and easy to catch but if we have a few days of warm weather they spread out and are hard to find.
2008 looks like it will be a jam up year for running charters as I have already scheduled trips for February and March and I'm already getting calls for April, May, and even June. Hopefully the wind won't blow all that much like it did last spring.
