Weather permitting , this weekend and next week are historically the best days in October for Trout & Redfish-ing. The tides look pretty good too! AND we finally had our first cold front come through yesterday & today - this is a good thing for the redfish. You’re in luck if you can get here - your favorite guide is open & waiting to fish with you. OK, enough with the commercials.

Tommy’s last eight days of sight fishing redfish were pretty spectacular and 3 of those days he counted in his top twenty best days of Redfishing - and he has been fishing professionally for over 22 years. Mark Goodwin, Flinn Maxwell, Greg Marrett, Jim Brown & Karen Ventimiglia, and Scott Finkler were some of those fortunate enough to have hooked up with Capt. Tommy. The Redfish haven't been huge but they are plentiful.

Parkers Heating & Air Conditioning Company had their company-wide fishing trip here October 5th, fishing out of 8 Bay boats & 2 Flats skiffs. The biggest fish caught was a 22lb Cobia. They also caught a 5lb tripletail and their limits of Reds and Trout. Thanks to the Red Top Café for arranging for their breakfasts & box lunch and to Papa Joe’s Restaurant for preparing their fresh fish and outstanding service. Bayfishing trips over the past 2 weeks have been very successful, with most of the action early and tapering off mid-day. I haven’t booked any offshore trips recently, but Capt. Charles Wilson has reported some excellent fishing & large catches on calm water.

Looking forward to some cooler weather & a great fall!
