Had an awesome day out with Capt Caleb and Steve today. It was my first time sight casting from a tower, and being up on that angle was a really cool experience and a style of fishing I enjoyed. We saw easily 30+ reds today and if I could actually cast worth a damn, I would’ve landed some more lol, but being able to see them react to your lure and then watching the eat when they do connect is pretty cool. Definitely something I recommend giving a try if you’ve never fished up on a tower before.
Working on a pretty good one right now and hopefully have it done for y'all this weekend. It was a pretty epic trip with fish recieving offerings of the topwater variety, along with quite a few sight casted.
Some tips in there for a little popping cork action once I hit the windblown shorelines!
It's been a busy summer at work and looking forward to a killer fall, I'm already seeing a really good shrimp hatch in the marsh so should be epic!

The sharks in East Matty are really getting brave. I went out for a quick trip this morning and had a 4’-6’ bull shark destroying fish 20 yards from me. I ran backwards to the boat just because of how aggressive and sporadic it was acting. I decided to just trolling motor over to some bait I seen and drift in to it. As soon as I hooked up and the trout started splashing I looked by the boat and there he was just swimming right by the boat waiting for the fish. Still ended up catching some solid fish this morning. Top water bite was very aggressive first thing this morning.
Went down and fished with Capt Sanchez on Aug 1. Started out a GRIND and found a good bit of small fish. Made multiple stops and bait was so thick, your pockets were full. The wind picked up to probably about 25 and the fishing got hot!!! James busted his back side to put us on fish and it paid off. I was able to catch a 28.5 inch 7 lbs trout. Funny thing about listening to last night’s webinar about colors. The K Wiggler ball tail I used was one that was purchased at the salesman sample sale as an imperfection!!! Larry we need this one added to the lineup.
Question for the brain trust:
This past saturday i had 3 separate instances while sight casting reds I would barely miss a school by a foot or 2 and I'd end up catching a trout. This was a first for me. I've heard mickey talk about large trout following schools of bull reds before. These were mostly all slot fish in these instances but the question still stands; Is this a seasonal thing? A conditions thing? For extra context i was a little bit deeper than normal, water was very dirty, they were on shrimp, and the schools were moving a lot faster than what i'm used to seeing. Was a pleasant suprise until i hooked a 12" trout and he blew up the biggest school of the day
Hey can someone make sure to post up the past live streams.Cant miss plaag
Anyone launch wilsons cut recently? Or any other recommendations? Family's taking a trip down to Port A soon & gonna be staying in cinnamon shores, bringing my boat over and wanna stay on that south shoreline. Boats not really made for crossin bays ya know haha. Appreciate any insight!
