Out of the mouth of Babes! - This is the Bestest Day Ever blares out Hayden as we stroll down the southern shore of Dear Island. Though it may not be grammatically correct, it was one of those quotas from a 5-year-old that hit the nail on the head. What do you mean we are more...

Blowing winds but back water bites! - The wind has been blowing for a while now, but that isn't that uncommon for this time of year. On those days that it does lay down the islands have been productive for Reds and Spawning Specks. Now is one of the best times for those opportunist lo more...

Happy New Year 2009! - The fish are really in a mixed pattern. The Sheepshead and Black Drum are in their typical winter movements and locations. The Trout and Reds are on a early spring pattern moving onto the flats earlier each day. This is a great time to be on the more...
